Shri Aillak Pannalal Digambar Jain Pathashala Trust, established in 1885, started this college in July 1983 which is appropriately named after Seth Walchand Hirachand, one of our country’s pioneer’s of industrial development. It is the sincere desire of the trust and the Governing Body of the Institute to maintain high academic and technological standards. This would indeed be a fitting tribute to the celebrated industrial giant.
