 Introduction

In the year 1916 Dr. Karve established the University with only 5 girl students. It has 3 main features. i. Mother tongue is the medium of instruction ii. Course are formulated taking into consideration the needs of women. iii. Students can appear in the examination while learning at home. When the Hindi medium division was closed in the year 1957-58 by the University, the students learning through this medium faced a problem. After studying upto Matric there was no option left for them. Then, Marwari Sammelan, which has always been in the forefront of propagating and promulgating Hindi, established this Hindi medium College.

  OFFICIATING PRINCIPAL

In 1958 the College started pre-university and first year classes on experimental basis. Looking to the proficiency, sincerity and dedication of the Sammelan, Smt. Nathibai Thackersey women's university granted affiliation to pre-university classes in 1960. Thereafter, F.Y.B.A. and S.Y:B.A. classes were granted affiliation respectively in the year 1961 & 1962 respectively. This College was granted a handsome donation of Rs. 75,000 from Smt. Bhagirathibai Manmal Ruia Trust. Therefore in the year 1963 this College was named 'Smt. Bhagirathibai Manmal Ruia Girls College'. For almost 10 years this College operated from Vidyabhavan, Sitaram Poddar Marg, Mumbai -2 , but looking to the growing popularity and shortage of space this College was shifted to Krishna Kunj, Vachha Gandhi Road, Mumbai -7 in the year 1968. To meet the demand of growing number of students, the small building of the College was extended to 5 storeys, thereby solving the problem of shortage of space. To cater the academic needs of students the College started Higher Secondary classes for Arts and commerce i.e. junior classes alongwith graduation.

To enhance the intellectual level of the students and to make them capable to deal efficiently with the problems of new era, the College imparts education in commerce faculty through English medium and Arts faculty through Hindi medium and English medjum. Considering high education standard and all-around development the S.N.D.T: University granted permanent affiliation to the college in June 1979. In June 1998 when U.G.C. extended financial help for Vocational courses, our college introduced few vocational courses in commerce faculty.
