Genesis of the College

An interesting story is associated behind the inception of the Lala Lajpatrai College of Commerce and Economics at Haji Ali, Mahalaxmi in 1972.

This College was the result of an encounter of Late Shri Ram Prasad Gupta (founder Trustee) with the Late Prime Minister Mr. Lal BahadurShastri.

As it is fondly cherished and narrated – the year was 1959 and the Late Mr. R. P. Gupta had met Mr. Lal Bahadur Shastri then, the Union Industries Minister, at his residence in Bombay (Mumbai). Mr. Shastri then asked the Late Industrialist as to what he had done for the Punjabi Community of Bombay, and Mr. Shastri even advised him that he could set up a Trust after his mentor, Lala Lajpatrai. Consequently, a Memorial Trust was formed in 1959 to perpetuate the memory of the great patriot – the Lion of Punjab, who was a great academician in himself.

Finally, the contribution to the community resulted in the form of Lala Lajpatrai College of Commerce and Economics, which has the honour of producing thousands of graduate and post-graduates who have excelled in their respective fields and are now rendering valuable services to the society.

Lala Lajpatrai College of Commerce and Economics was established in June 1972 and is one of the leading Colleges of Commerce and Economics in Mumbai and is affiliated to the University of Mumbai, and recognized by UGC under Section 2(f) of 16th July, 1972 and 12 B0 of 16th July, 1972 of the UGC Act with Urban Location of 0.6 acre of land with built up area of 77137 Square Feet.
