It was named as Nootan Mahila College and was conducted by Bhagini Seva Mandir’s Kumarika Stree Mandal. Eventually, the College was taken over by Chandulal Nanavati Women’s Institute and Girls High School. The college was renamed after Maniben Chandulal Nanavati, the well-known freedom fighter who worked closely with Mahatma Gandhi during the freedom struggle. Known fondly as ‘Mani Ba’, she was given the epithet of ‘ Khadi Mata’. “Every girl child should be educated in the country”- is the mission of the Trustees: Himadri S.

“Quality and excellence are the major thrust areas of the College. Sa Vidya Ya Vimuktaye – (Knowledge is that which liberates) is the vision that our founders had begun with. Every educated girl liberates not only herself but also her family, society and nation from the shackles of social evils,” opines Himadri S. Nanavati. The Trust celebrates its 75th year coinciding with the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav and the Golden Jubilee of the College.
The College offers a wide range of programs from higher secondary level to postgraduate degree in Fashion Design, Management Studies, Commerce, Finance, Travel and Tourism, Economics, Psychology, Sociology and others. Among the Applied Component subjects, Food and Nutrition, and Child Development are offered. The college aims to start STEM related programs in the coming times.

Built on a sprawlingly huge, lush green campus, the College offers the state-of-the-art infrastructure, latest technology-based learning platform, fully digitised office, and a rich library with online / print resources.
