From The Principal's Desk

Gujarat Commerce College is one of the oldest and historical colleges of Gujarat State and also popular as one of the most happening places during our struggle for Independence. Though designed and established in the year 1860 by the British Colonizers, it flourished under the esteemed patronage of Honorable Sir Chinubhai Baronet. Its great and glorious history is vividly reflected in the ambiance and heritage buildings of the college spread across the campus. The college is now run under the aegis of the Government of Gujarat. The Commerce Department of Gujarat College was founded in 1981-82 as a result of the zealous efforts of Prin. Dr. B.C.
