Our Vision

Our Founder, Padmabhushan Shri K. J. Somaiya founded Somaiya Vidyavihar on the 9th of September 1959.
He later founded the Girivanvasi Pragati Mandal, The K J Somaiya Medical Trust, Girivanvasi Education Trust and sister institutions to make great citizens of India and the World. In the words of Swami Vivekananda, “We want that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect expanded, and by which one can stand on one’s own feet.” We have now grown into a multi-disciplinary and multi-campus education institution with over 1500 faculty, and 38, 000 students.

Our History
An all-round education must integrate Indian culture, values & morality into the curriculum.

In just five decades it has grown into a large educational complex with 34 institutions catering to diverse fields of education such as Humanities, Engineering, Education, Medicine, Management, Pure Sciences and Mass Communication, with more than 39000+ Students and 3000+ Faculties and staff on a throbbing 65 acre campus!

The Somaiya Vidyavihar Complex was founded in 1959 by late Shri K.J. Somaiya (1902-1999). Endowed with a sharp business acumen, a balanced perspective and a social bent of mind, Karamshibhai set up the Somaiya Trust in 1953 for furthering his dream of shaping young minds through quality education. For this purpose he bought a large area of land at Ghatkopar, then

considered to be distant, meagrely populated.

International Tie-Ups
We at Somaiya Vidyavihar greatly value collaboration and dynamic dialogue as one of the ways to continually expand our worldview.

International collaborations with universities across the globe have enhanced our education and research programmes.

Through collaborations with international universities we aspire to explore mutually beneficial opportunities for academic connections like Faculty and Student Exchange Programs; Joint Research and Publications, Study abroad in India Programs; Immersive Programs, International Internships and Placements.

Somaiya Vidyavihar has academic collaboration with leading universities in USA, Europe, Asia and Africa for working together to promote Academics, Research, and Experiential Learning beyond the scope of an individual university.
