Dr. Bhanuben Nanavati College Of Architecture for Women, founded in 1994 under the able leadership of Principal Anurag Kashyap, with the generous donation of Rs. 90 lakhs given by Mr. Mahendrabhai Nanavati has a glorious historical background of Maharshi Karve Stree Shikshan Sanstha, Pune, founded in 1896, with the main mission of uplifting the social, educational, financial and spiritual conditions of women and widows, making them confident and self reliant. The founder, Bharat Ratna Maharshi Dhondo Keshav Karve, a visionary and dedicated social worker in his own right, soon realized that his mission can be fulfilled only if the educational levels and standards of Indian Women, in all walks of life, are enriched, improved and expanded to include basic and higher education in Arts, Science, Commerce and other professional courses.
The college is named so as a token of gratitude for the sumptuous donation given by Manilal Vadilal Nanavati Charitable Trust, Mumbai, for construction of the college building. |
