Smt. Radhabai Sarda Arts, Commerce & Science College is the brain-child of the great modernist and philanthropist lady, Smt. Krushnabai Sarda who donated 200 acres of her land in 1916 exclusively for the development of an educational institution in the moffusil area of Anjangaon Surji. She envisioned the local youth being nurtured and moulded to build a pathway of updated potentiality for themselves and shape their future, thereby initiating to shape the future of the country. She foresaw to instill the values of accountability and morality in the youth force through higher education.

The college came into being in 1966 under the able guidance and undeterred leadership of Dadasaheb Kalmegh, the erstwhile Vice-Chancellor of Nagpur University. The philanthropic and dynamic duo of Shri. Nandkishorji Sarda and Dr. Rameshchandraji Sarda imparted further dynamism to the enterprise. They believed in making learning a joyous experience; every possible attempt of blending challenge with creativity was made by the visionaries with a view to providing adequate scope for grooming of individuality and imagination. The vision was further cohered, adhered and cuddled by the younger echelons of the family viz. Shri. Abhayji Sarda and Dr. Amarji Sarda, the champion chips off the old block who shouldered the responsibility of carrying the beacon forward to churn out confident and enlightened citizens, the ones potent and electrifying enough to be abreast of the fast-tracked and kaleidoscopic outside world galloping at an immense pace on the slippery back of science, social media, research, technological development and globalisation.

The vibrancy and vitality with which our produce are venturing into the vicissitudes of the time is highly heartening.
