College at Glance
Shri V. R. Patel College of Commerce was established by a visionary named Shri Balarambhai Kshatriya in the year 1964 as Municipal Arts and Commerce College. It came into existence as a separate commerce college on 1st January, 1986 with the aim of imparting higher quality education in the new emerging and occupational areas of trade and commerce.

It takes pride in having one of the biggest dairies of India named “The Dudh Sagar Dairy” which has brought about the white revolution in the North Gujarat region. The O.N.G.C.
