K. P. B. Hinduja College
of Commerce was established in 1974 by late Shri Parmanand Deepchand Hinduja who
was a harmonious blend of philanthropy and mercantile activities. The
illustrious man believed in setting aside a portion of the profits from his
businesses for charitable activities, especially in the field of education and
healthcare, which he considered to be the fundamental right of every human
being. He said “My dharma is to work so that I can give.” His concern led him to
establish the Smt. P. D. Hinduja Trust in 1944 under the aegis of which the
college was established. The institution functions under the guidance of the
Hinduja Foundation which is a part of the Hinduja Group that was established in
1914.
Over the years the college has literally and figuratively grown from strength to
strength. It started with a student strength of 400 in 1974 and has reached a
figure of about 6100 at this point in time, while the number of teachers has
increased from 12 up to 105. The college which started with a single Commerce
course today offers 25 courses from the Higher Secondary up to the Doctorate
level and includes both the Commerce, Science and Arts streams.
K.P.B. Hinduja College of Commerce at the age of 36 years is a young and
promising adult with well-defined goals and aspirations. The generous support
extended by the Management, the merit of the faculty, the academic excellence of
the students (Average Results: 99% at H.S.C, 88% at T.Y.B.Com. and 100 % at Self
financing levels), tie-ups with leading academic institutions, both national and
international high ratings in nationwide surveys (In an India Today – Org Marg –
Survey on colleges which was published in the ‘India Today’ issue dated June
2010, the college ranked No. 1st among the Commerce colleges in
Mumbai and ranked No. 8th all over India) , gratify and enthuse us,
especially since we at Hinduja College believe ‘Sky is not the limit’. |
