SAMALDAS ARTS COLLEGE – BHAVNAGAR

Affiliated to Bhavnagar University
Run by Bhavnagar University
 
 

Samaldas Arts College is one of the oldest colleges in the western region.     Established in 1885 by Late Maharaja Sir Takhtasinhji of Bhavnagar who had provided land and required deposit-money to have an Institution of higher learning and willingly named it as Samaldas College in remembrance of his Diwan Samaldas Mehta. Bombay University had given the affiliation to the institution and thereafter the college has never seen back in her long career. During these 122 years’ prestigious-encouraging history, where Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of Nation, had studied, the institution shifted its buildings as the time passed. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of India laid the foundation stone of the present building.
