The college was established in 1968 with the generous donation of 10 acres of land by our late Founder Chairman Shri Nanalal Bhatt and a donation of ₹6 lakhs by Cork Industries Charities Trust. The college stands in the name of our late Founder Chairman’s wife, Shrimathi Devkunvar, and it has efficiently rendered dedicated service to the cause of women’s education. The vision of our founder was to educate the girl children. With this mission in mind, he started Shrimathi Devkunvar Nanalal Bhatt Vaishnav College with 300 girl students then in P.U.C. This philanthropist devoted his life to the upliftment of women through education.
