ROYAL SOCIETY OF BOMBAY – PARENT BODY
The society was founded on 28 th December 1966 by Asgar E. Lakdawala, a poor S.S.C. student at that time. He gathered together a very small group of young boys, each of whom, hailing from a poor family but had a spirit of service, sacrifice, friendship and understanding. The sole mission of the group was ‘Educational upliftment of poor and needy students of Bohra Community’.Since 1966, year after year, more and more benefactors from Bohra Community realized the importance of the mission set by the Founder and today there are about 600 life members and patron members who are patronizing the mission of the society. Basically, the society aims at the education of the Bohra and non-Bohra Muslim Community and extends its facilities to other communities.
In the year 1986, while at Elphinstone College as a Lecturer, Prof. Asgar E. Lakdawala – Founder of this Royal Campus, dreamt of establishment of a full-fledged Arts, Science and Commerce College. He inspired many well -wishers and donors, mainly for Bohra Community. They extended full financial support which resulted in establishing full-fledged Arts, Science and Commerce College in the year 1989 and later, 2 schools Royal Girls’ High School in 1995 and Royal Girls’ Urdu School in 2001. Girl students are given preference in all our Educational Institutions as per our objective of promotion of Girls’ Education.
Later in the year 2012, Royal College of Education and Research for Women was established with the sole motto to develop girls of our society professionally , so that they can contribute to Social , Economical and Cultural growth of the Society by taking up teaching as their profession. In last 10 years , more than 600 women have successfully completed their B.Ed. Course; majority of them even continued their further studies and settled in different Schools and Junior colleges of different Educational Boards of India and abroad.
