Chairman Message

Namaskar,

I express my sincere thanks for placing your trust and confidence in me to lead 54 old  Mahamandleshwar Shri Krishnanandji College of Commerce, Bharuch a task I accept with deepest humility in absence of our leader Late M R Thakore. I welcome all the new members to the  SVM fraternity and seek the kind support and commitment to steer SVM to new horizons of success.

SVM primarily being an Educational Institute, teachers are the torch bearers in all the activities and programs  of the SVM. It shall be my endeavor to involve all worthy teachers in the ventures of SVM with a view to enhance the image of SVM and make its presence profoundly felt not only within the region but also in National & International educational arenas.

I also strongly believe that we need to make sincere efforts to reach out to the policy makers, Industrial organizations to give our valuable inputs/services on many important policy issues/training programs. This can be possible only when each one contributes his/her might as experts in the field. Equally significant is the initiative to recognize the young graduates as it is they who are the future leaders of tomorrow. We shall make efforts to seek their greater contribution in the activities of the SVM.

Like any good educational institute, SVM  take the responsibility of shaping the future of business and society by developing good human resources with putting focus on primary to secondary to tertiary and further into research by fulfilling academic needs of over 10000+ students of Bharuch and Narmada Districts.

I look forward to your suggestions and guidance for all inputs that lead to the continuing progress of SVM. I wish you all a great success in all endeavors in the years to come.

Our History

'Vidya Amrutam Ashnute'

Our motto, thoughtfully chosen from the Yajurveda, encompasses our vision and crest: "Development of knowledge is the base of eternal happiness." This philosophy drives our institution's journey of academic excellence and social contribution.

Origin and Establishment :

Shri S'ad Vidya Mandal, with a deep commitment to enhancing education in Bharuch, laid the foundation of J.P. Arts & Science College in 1955 to provide higher education opportunities in the region. However, despite the presence of J.P. Arts & Science College, the management realized a significant gap in the region's educational ecosystem - the lack of commerce education. Students were compelled to travel to distant cities like Surat or Vadodara, causing formidable financial and logistical challenges, particularly for middle-class families. Addressing this crucial need, the Shri S'ad Vidya Mandal took a significant step forward and established M.K. College of Commerce on June 14, 1967, with the guidance of Swami Atulanandji. The inauguration ceremony was honored by the then Education Minister of Gujarat, Shri Gordhandas Chokhawala, marking a historic milestone.
