History of Department

History

The Department of History started in 1948 after partition, when professors from D.J. Sind College came to Bombay. Professor C.L. Mariwalla single handedly started the Department and was soon assisted by Professor Kulkarni. In 1956, Mrs. Nirmala Gupta joined the Department followed by Mrs. L.R. Mansharamani. The Department taught full major history at the B.A. level. However in 1962, this permission lapsed due to some difficulty and History of Ancient India and Medieval India was taught upto inter-arts level.

In 1978, Mrs. Nirmala Gupta became Head of Department and in a short time History was started at the T.Y.B.A level. Later Foundation Course I was also handled by the Department. In 1993, Mrs. M.C. Dias became the Head of Department and part major history continued and the department also acquired the applied component Travel and Tourism and Foundation Course II. In August 2005, Principal Dr. Narain joined the history department. In 2010-11, History was restored to its former status with full majors being taught at T.Y.B.A level.
