Shree Lalshankar Umiyashankar Arts and Harivadan and Padmaben Thakore Commerce College for Women established in 1920, has the proud privilege of being the first women’s college in Ahmedabad. Established with a view to empower women with higher education, the college is situated in the urban commercial heart of Ahmedabad.

In the backdrop of the troubled times of Indian Freedom Movement and Gandhiji’s leadership ideology of women’s participation in every field, some prominent freedom fighters and social reformers of Gujarat felt an urgent need to start an institute of higher learning exclusively for women. The vision of Mahatma Gandhi that if you educate a woman, you educate the family and the whole society, was carried forward by a group of like-minded social reformers and activists. Way back in 1920, three students from Ahmedabad (Savita Trivedi, Nandagauri Setalvad, Arvinda Thakore) completed schooling by appearing for ‘Shalant Pareeksha’ and the need to continue their studies was urgent.
