SNDT College of Arts and SCB College of Commerce and Science For Women, the first conducted College in Mumbai of SNDT Women’s University, was established in 1931 in an effort to fulfill the dream of its Founding Father, the great visionary, Bharat Ratna Dhondo Keshav Karve(1858-1962), of empowering women through education. Karve established an ashram for widows and school for girls at Hingne, a village near Pune in 1896. This institution became a stepping-stone for our University. It was first named as Indian Women’s University. In 1916, Sir Vithaldas Thackersey, made a contribution of Rupees fifteen lacs to commemorate the memory of his mother Smt. Nathibai, and thus the University was named as Smt. Nathibai Damodar Thackersey Women’s University in 1920. Since then the university has educated generations of women and fulfilled their aspirations.
