Navyug Arts College

In those days the institutes of higher education in various disciplines managed by the Sarvajanik Education society were pocketed on the eastern banks of the river Tapti and the areas on the opposite side of the river were not fully developed.

The students of this area and those residing in the nearby villages found it difficult to commute everyday to reach their respective colleges rather difficult as the means of transport were scant. Late Prin. Dr. D. G. Vashi, then a professor of Statistics at Bilimora College, foresaw the need of an institute of higher education in this area. He was neither rich nor influential, politically or otherwise. However, he succeeded in materializing his concept into reality and decided to start Arts and Science College on Rander Road area.

As his idea and cause both were noble, like minded people joined hands with him and Navyug Arts and Science College came into existence in the year 1966 with an humble strength of 300 students

The institution was established in the year 1966 on the other bank of river Tapti in the area today known as Rander Road. Those were the days when the population of Surat city was increasing by leaps and bounds, but there was only one Arts College in the city to provide opportunities of higher education in Arts stream. Navyug Arts College came into subsistence with an objective mainly to fulfill the need of higher education institution of a fast developing city with the following vision and mission:
