ABOUT US
Govindram Seksaria College of Commerce and Economics, Nagpur was established in 1945 by Shiksha
Mandal, Wardha to fulfil the requirement of Commerce education in the region during the preIndependence period. Founded in 1914 by such noted Gandhians and freedom fighters as Shri Jamnalal
Bajaj and Shri Shrikrishnadas Jajoo, and having been patronised by the noble souls like Acharya
Srimannanarayana, Seth Govindram Seksaria, Shri Kamalnayanji Bajaj, Shri Ramkrishnaji Bajaj and a host
of other philanthropists, Shiksha Mandal, from the very inception, has remained committed to the
objective of providing quality education at affordable cost. Shiksha Mandal, which now runs eight
colleges with over 10000 students and 500 teachers on roll, has steadfastly preserved its basic
Gandhian character even as it took strides towards modernity. Today in its Centenary year, Shiksha
Mandal stands out as a national institution by virtue of its historical legacy and ceaseless pursuit of
academic excellence besides being an exemplar among the privately managed institutes of higher
education in India.
Recently, Shiksha Mandal celebrated its centenary under the dynamic leadership of Shri Rahul Bajaj,
who is the President of Shiksha Mandal, Wardha. The programme was graced by Hon’ble President of
India Shri Pranab Mukherjee, Chief Minister of Maharashtra Shri Devendra Fadanvis and Union Minister
of Transport and Highways Shri Nitin Gadkari , also our alumnus, among others.
G.S. College of Commerce and Economics, Nagpur was essentially conceived as a specialized Commerce
College and today it is justifying its genesis through the successful implementation of undergraduate and
post-graduate courses in Commerce and Management streams. We also offer over half a dozen
complementary certificate and diploma courses as value addition to our regular courses. Efforts by a
team of well-qualified teachers and researchers, and the right combination of curricular, co- and extracurricular activities in a very congenial atmosphere that is augmented by excellent infrastructure, have
ensured that our students not only emerge as competent professionals but also as good citizens. The
overall quality of our student product can be gauged by our illustrious alumni profile. We are very happy
to share with you that a large number of Chartered Accountants, Company Secretaries, and other
professionals including professors, lawyers, and entrepreneurs in this part of world are our alumni.
Today, G.S. College of Commerce and Economics, Nagpur has carved a niche for itself as a premier
Commerce College in the country and is known for its high academic standards, qualitative growth, and
ethical practices under the dynamic leadership of Shri Rahul Bajaj, the present President of Shiksha
Mandal and Shri Sanjay Bhargava, the General Secretary of Shiksha Mandal.

ABOUT NAGPUR
Nagpur, better known as the ‘Orange City’, is the winter capital of Maharashtra. It is the largest city in
central India and the third largest city in the state of Maharashtra after Mumbai and Pune. It has
recently been ranked as the second greenest city of India after Bangalore. Nagpur is located precisely at
the centre of India; the Zero Mile Stone indicating the geographical centre of India. The city was founded
by the Gonds, but later became part of the Maratha Empire under the Bhonslas.
Due to its central location, Nagpur (Central Railway) is an important junction and a transit terminal for
trains that connect the country both length-wise and breadth-wise. All major trains halt at Nagpur
connecting the city to all Indian metropolises. Nagpur is also connected to all major cities in the country
as two major national highways: Kanyakumari- Varanasi (NH-7) and Mumbai-Kolkata (NH-6)pass through
the city. The city’s airport is on the map of international airports.
Nagpur is quite famous for its historical landmarks as well. The Boudha Stupa at Deeksha Bhoomi,
Kasturchand Park, and Ramtek (where Kalidasa is believed to have written the Meghdootam) are some
of the major sites. Raman Science Centre is also a major attraction. Nagpur is also surrounded by
wildlife sanctuaries like Pench and Bor. Sewagram and Paonar, the seats of Gandhiji and Vinoba Bhave
respectively, are just an hour away from the city.
