As Principal of H.R. College, Pribhudas Gidwani
rendered outstanding service for close to 20 years (1971
- 1990). However, his association with the Hyderabad
(Sind) National Collegiate Board spanned 30 long
years.

did his BA from Bombay University, following it up
with a BSc. (Economics) from London, along with a
M.Litt from Glasgow and a Barrister of the Middle
Temple London. He also studied at the faculty de-
Droit at Paris.
He played a vital role in the growth and development
of the H.R. College, and played a leading role in its
emergence and shaping it as a holistic centre for
learning. It was during his tenure that the College
emerged as a prestigious institution over a span of two
eventful decades, the activities of the College were
enhanced and consistently good academic results were
achieved. The teaching faculty and methodology
were also strengthened.
 FROM THE DESK OF THE I/C PRINCIPAL

Nurturing creativity and inspiring innovation are two key elements

of a successful education. H.R. College of Commerce &
Economics firmly believes in the philosophy of developing young
minds who will become future leaders of the nation and
responsible citizens of the world.

Harnessing the creative energies of the academic and student

community, H.R. College inspires faculty and students to do their
best, and realize their full potential. The institution believes that
undergraduate study and postgraduate research must be connected
to both individual and collective experiences, foster community
Mr. Parag Thakkar values, produce engaged critical students, and expand and deepen

We at H.R. College have been at the forefront of change.

Transforming students into achievers and leaders, faculty into
dedicated researchers and motivators; the college provides
opportunities for holistic development. H.R. College encourages
and inspires performers, organizers, and leaders by recognizing
and rewarding students who have not only done well in academics
but have also gone beyond to excel in co-curricular and extra-
curricular activities such as in cultural events, sports, management,

- John Dewey organized several significant activities in various disciplines and
areas of interest in the academic year 2017-2018. The college
signed many MOU's and inked collaborations with industry and

An orientation was held for the first year students by Dr. Jehangir Bharucha and Ms. Jasbir Course Coordinator
Kaur Sodi covering all the requirements and opportunities for students under the new
system. A special workshop was also conducted for the second year students as this is the first
time the post graduate students had to do a mandatory 100 marks research project and also do
in-depth research on a wide variety of topics under the new system introduced by University
of Mumbai. It proved immensely beneficial for those who attended it. The internal teachers
guided the students through their research projects.
The college results for M.Com. Sem 1 and Sem 3 far outpaced the University results. Most of
the post graduate students are already placed in mid level positions in the corporate sector
and have done H.R. College proud.
It was a proud moment for all of us when a student Priyanka Shah from H.R. College was
invited for Lions Days with the United Nations, convened at the International General
Assembly Hall at the UN Headquarters in New York City. She was the only Indian speaker
and an official social media and marketing representative for LDUN.

DOING HR PROUD
Lions Days with the United Nations is an extremely
prestigious event convened in International General Assembly
Hall at the UN Headquarters in New York City which is
attended by Lions, Leos, UN diplomats, and other dignitaries
from more than 36 countries of the world.
On each Lions Day with the United Nations, select few Leos
from across the globe are chosen and appointed for speaker
and/or representative roles before and during the event. After
learning about this invigorating opportunity, I sent in my
application, which included my professional and Leo profiles, to
the Leo Club Programme Committee which would be
reviewing all the applications received. I listed down clearly all
the activities/events I had lead and executed as a Leo, some of
which were first's in the history of my multiple district.
I was the only Indian and one of the only two Leo's who were
given the dual responsibility of being a speaker and an official
social media and marketing representative for LDUN; owing to
my prowess in communication and creative skills. As a speaker, I
got the chance to introduce the 60th Anniversary of the Leo Club
Programme. After briefly explaining the history of the formation
of the Leo Club Programme which was launched in 1967, I went
on to talk about how the zeal and passion of the young Leo's is
impacting the lives of millions of people worldwide. Today, the
Leos make up an international network of more than 7,000 clubs
in 147 countries.
Priyanka Shah at the
UN Headquarters, New York
I consider getting this opportunity as the most significant honor I
have been conferred with because it gave me a platform at the
age of 22 to represent my club, my district and my country in
front of stalwarts who are relentlessly working towards making
the world a better place. This was only possible because of the
continued encouragement and mentoring I have received from
my family, teachers, friends and fellow Leos. Dr. Jehangir
Bharucha and Dr. Navin Punjabi have played a very important
role in letting me make the most of this opportunity and their
guidance has nurtured me into a responsible, mature individual
and molded me into a leader with a 'conscience'.
The greatest motivation for us is to be recognized for what we do
and for what we have to offer. Saying this, I would urge every
youth to contribute their time and energy for activities and
projects that can create tangible social impact. A small effort at
our end can go a long way in changing the world for the better.
To me, the future of service is the Youth. Empower the Youth
and Transform the Communities.

THE HONOURS PROGRAMME
The Honours Programme, in its ninth year is a unique academic
offering of H.R. College which aims at enriching the regular
curriculum prescribed by the University of Mumbai. It is
designed to offer students of high calibre, intellectual
opportunities and challenges that complement and enrich their
regular course work.
This year 20 students from B.Com., BAF, BBI and BFM
graduated with the Honours Citation; with 14 of them securing
an overall grade of A +.
The Honours Programme includes successful completion of
three seminar courses, as well as completion of three research
reports, study tour, experiential learning, an internship with
report and any of choices put in Group 4.
UDAIPUR: THE WHITE CITY
It's everything - vibrant, aesthetic,
picturesque and most importantly,
dynamic. Udaipur, the Venice of India,
with all its grandeur and traditional
va l u e s p rove d to b e a p e r fe c t
destination for the cultural study tour
2017-18. Besides that, the vigor and
zeal of inquisitive HRites made the tour a memorable one.
Udaipur, the white city, called so because of its unparalleled
strength to remain unconquered while the rest of India fell under
the British rule has been an epitome of magnificence and
courage throughout history.
From exploring the busy markets of fabrics and handicrafts, to
going back and forth in the ferries at Lake Fateh Sagar, to
dancing on folk music at Chokhi Dhaani to watching the
indigenous artists perform prop dances and puppet shows at
Bhartiya Lok Kala Museum, the excursion gave a chance to
traverse through the core of this very city. Visiting the glorious
Udaipur palace, the unexcelled Garden-of-maids and the
magnificent Maharana Pratap Memorial, gave us an insight to
the deep-rooted royal culture and the lifestyle of the city.
However, the knowledge about the city and its gallant history is
only a small part of what the students as a unified group had
taken away from the tour. The most significant feature of the
study tour was that it was group oriented. Befriending new
people, learning to live out of the comfort zone of home and
loved ones, accepting the differences, developing tolerance for
the behavior of others and most of all understanding team work
and group cohesiveness will be the ever useful learning for the
long run.

Any student, who tops twice in the three years, is given the
advantage of a Toppers Credit. The college enrolls and
continues only those students who are immensely motivated and
demonstrate their remarkable passion for learning.
In accordance with opportunities for advanced studies and
research, the programme components are redesigned and
reformed regularly to guarantee a continually expanding
breadth of knowledge. This year SY Honours batch undertook a
faculty-supervised study tour for four days to Udaipur. This tour
introduced the students to team spirit, understanding,
relationship building and the study of various cultures and
traditions within our country.

luggage to compromising and accepting the available
accommodation to organizing team games and bonfires,
everything needed full support and consent of all the students at
individual level. We realized that it is one thing to form a team.
Performing as a team and maintaining a certain level of
teamwork is completely different.
The concept of “Espirit de corps” as taught to us by professors in
classrooms could not have been more practically understood but
by the experiences from this trip.
From breakfast calls till lights out, everything was well
administered by the students working together in various roles
as assigned by the director of Honours Programme, Dr. Jehangir
Bharucha, who not only made sure that the students have a great
learning experience through quizzes, games and report-writing
but also ensured that students enjoyed the excursion within
ethical parameters.

Udaipur: Study Tour
Every year, the students of Honours Programme from H.R.
College go for a study tour as part of an experiential learning.
Since, throughout the year, students are involved in theoretical
and technical learning, they often forget to experience the
cultural aspects of their home country.
Udaipur in particular is rich in culture, heritage, art and
architecture. The main aim of this experiential learning was for
us students to come in contact with the culture of India, be it of
any faith. The prosperous Mewari culture and other forms of
Rajasthani lifestyle were extremely inclusive of all aspects that
formed a comprehensive learning experience.
Udaipur is a mystical place with many mysteries surrounding
the ancient city of Rajputs. Forts, palaces, lakes, memorials,
gardens; there is simply no end to adventure in Udaipur. Dubbed
as the City of Lakes or Venice of the East, Udaipur is a
fascinating piece of oasis betwixt the dry climate of Rajasthan.
During night, the city is illuminated like several gemstones
scattered across the landscape with the Aravalli Hills in the
backdrop.
The City Palace, Saheliyon ki Badi, Jagdish Temple, Chetak
Smarak, Monsoon Palace were architectural marvels not only
for the onlookers but also for their compatibility to support the
people who resided in them years ago. These structures were
built centuries ago and have lasted the assault of all elements of
nature while retaining their appeal and beauty. There is
abundant art in Udaipur; from puppet shows and magic shows to
rope dance and folk dance.
Udaipur is famous for its local markets even though swanky
malls have come up in this ancient city, making it a cosmopolitan
one. The local markets of Udaipur are full of color, art and
tradition. Roadside stalls with their paraphernalia in vibrant
shades and hues add a special thrill to the shopping experience.
Every market that we went to was lively in its own way. The
major attractions in the local markets, in my opinion, were -
Clothes, Statues, Souvenirs, Paper Diaries and Accessories.
The Mewaris are known for their hospitality and warmth; one
gets to experience this while visiting any shop. There were
formal seating arrangements and an offer of refreshments in
Leading the Way
Hailing from Patna, H.R. College was a new beginning for me.
While wondering about my future here, I came to know about
the erstwhile Honours Programme. I instinctively knew that this
was the right programme for me and I was fortunate to be
absorbed into this programme on merit. My dedication and
potential was noticed by Dr. Bharucha and he appointed me as
the Student Leader of the course.
Getting this opportunity was remarkable for me and it came
along with a lot of responsibilities. Since then I have been
liasoning between the students and the professor-in-charge. My
planning skills were honed when I singlehandedly coordinated
the various stages in the planning and execution of the Study

some shops to make the guests feel welcome.
While the sites we visited gave us an overview
of the architectural marvels and intellect of the
ancient Rajputs, Udaipur's local markets gave
us a comprehensive experience of the culture
and tradition of the city. It is rightly said that
one truly gets to experience and understand a Sakshi Bobade
particular place by being among locals and in
the buzzing streets where everyday life happens.
There were about 26 students from the Honours Programme,
accompanied by one faculty member from the college. Although
the tour guides helped us immensely and guided us throughout
the study tour, most of the tour was managed by students
themselves, as directed by Dr. Jehangir Bharucha, faculty-in-
charge of the Honours Programme. Everyone carried out their
allotted duties effectively and efficiently, thereby making
everything easier for the rest of the group.
Among other things, such as the culture and beauty of the city of
Udaipur, I learnt that teamwork is extremely important when
working and interacting with a group of people. Just like any
other team, we faced challenges, which were overcome by the
support system that had formed within the team of students.
Udaipur was a truly a spectacular experience, one that students
of the Honours Programme are bound to cherish, for years to
come.

It was my duty to ensure the smooth and efficient functioning of

in collaboration with Dr. Ashwin Bhanushali and his team,
visited an old-age home ‘Shree Swami Samarth Seva Bhavi
Sanstha’ in Nerul East.
The main purpose of the visit was to share love and show care.
With respect to that the students conducted research with the
help of a questionnaire that the doctors prepared in order to
understand the medical condition of the senior residents.
The close interaction of sharing personal details revealed how
these people reached the sanstha. There were two categories of
people there, the ones who were abandoned and deserted by
their children and others who had left their families fed up with
the humiliation and ill-treatment. The truth is, most seniors do
not agree with the idea of being sent to an old age home. They
wish to spend the last days of their life in their own home, amidst
their children or grand children.
The home intends to meet all essential needs as well as most
important physical health care needs by persons who may not be
capable to take care of their own health due to their old age or
physical constraints.

lecturer. She discussed the pros & cons of AI and how it will
affect developed countries like the USA and developing
countries like India. She elaborated on the effect of AI on the job
sector, differentiating between the jobs that will be completely
taken over by automation and the ones that will only change in
nature. She also shed light on how AI both destroys and creates
jobs, and also how we as budding professionals should prepare
ourselves and develop a skill set such that we can still be relevant
in a world wherein most of the jobs have been automated.

VISIT TO THE COLABA MUNICIPAL SCHOOL
January 27, 2018
The trend was noted that a large number of students from
municipal schools gave up their education after completing their
studies up to the 10th standard. This was mostly because of lack
of financial resources but also due to various other reasons. In
order to spread awareness amongst the students about the
importance of higher education, the students of the Research
Cell of H.R. College of Commerce & Economics, addressed the
students of the 8th & 9th standards of the Colaba Municipal
School.
The students of the school showed great enthusiasm while
talking to Research Cell students. They spoke about their
ambitions, aspirations & dreams - dreams of becoming doctors,
engineers, lawyers, IAS/IPS officers, soldiers, sports persons,
actors, musicians, teachers and entrepreneurs etc. They were
told which path to choose in order to fulfill their dreams and help
them fulfill their aspirations. Discussions centered on the
importance of higher education, the different career options to
choose from, and info of various institutes and NGOs that
provide scholarships and help with finances.
This was followed by an interactive session wherein students
came forward and showcased their talents like singing, dancing,
mimicry, storytelling, etc. They showed a keen interest in
pursuing their dreams and changing their own lives as well as the
lives of their loved ones. It was quite clear that if guided
correctly, these young students can change the future of this
country, as well as the world.

experience has been wonderful from the
start. We all formed an unbreakable
bond and memories that we will cherish
forever.
The students receiving a warm welcome on arrival.
It all started on 12th May. As soon as we
walked out of Frankfurt airport, we were greeted with beaming
smiles, gifts and a lot of love. Our host sisters were ecstatic to host
us and had gone out of their way to ensure that we felt
comfortable. We spent our first weekend familiarising ourselves
with our surroundings and getting to know our hosts better.
During our first week, we attended lectures at the Theo-Koch
Schule. Initially, the lectures were a bit boring since they were all
in German; a language we have never spoken but after a few
classes, we became friends with other German students and
started actively participating in class. It was very kind of the
teachers to invite us for all the bilingual lectures where students
spoke in English as well. We made an interesting observation
during this entire exchange - all the German students spoke
primarily in German but they were fluent in English as well!
However, this practice has only been there for the last few years;
the previous generations do not speak much in English.
The week passed by very quickly, with us comprehending the
differences in the education systems, culture, etc. A week later,
during our trip we visited THM, a university in Grüenberg. In
the same week, we also visited various places like 'Level 8' for
rock climbing, went swimming, visited the Indian Consulate,
had an amazing barbecue party, visited refugee students and had
a day dedicated to showcasing Indian culture. On the cultural
day, we danced, sang, made a PowerPoint presentation, and also
made the Germans dance. They said that they had never had so
much fun dancing to the Bollywood songs before! It definitely
was an evening none of us will ever forget.
In the following week, we went to many places frequented by
tourists including Giessen city, where a World War II bomb was
spotted (and the town was excavated while we were there). We
also went to the Mathematics Museum, a vintage car workshop,
textile industry and the war
cemetery.
On one of the days, we cooked a
huge variety of Indian food. Our
German hosts were shocked by

second host family.
We visited Dunkelkaufhaus, a place for the blind, where we were
surrounded by complete darkness and to experience how it felt
to be blind. We realised how blessed we are to have our eyesight.
We also visited Leica (a camera lens company established even
before World War II), the water factory and museum (the place
where water was packed and sealed), the labour organisation in
Germany where we were given a brief insight about the
employment system in Germany and finally, we were taught
how to bake German bread.
Our host families were simply amazing and made us experience
many things. During our stay there, we fell in love with the
country and did not wish to come back. It was a wonderful
experience that we wish we could relive.
Finally on the farewell day we learnt the meaning of “parting
goodbyes are not easy”. It was truly difficult! Germany is a place
we will never forget. Not only did we make memories, but now,
we also have two families in a country we call 'home'.

Mumbai collegians work to change villagers' lives, get them jobs

Students from various city colleges have undertaken similar projects to generate employment and
financial opportunities for villagers Mar 26, 2018 11:28 IST Musab Qazi | Hindustan Times

Last week, students from the National Service
Scheme (NSS) unit of KC College, Churchgate,
installed a machine for grinding spices at Karwale
village in Palghar district. The set up will provide
employment to 15 women from the area, who can
earn a living by grinding spices and selling it in the
market.
“We wanted to empower the women,” said Zoya
Khan, one of the students.
For the past few years, students from various city
colleges have undertaken similar projects to
generate employment and financial opportunities for
villagers in mofussil areas of the state. Besides
strengthening the rural economy and empowering
women in the villages, these projects provide
students with hands-on training.
In the past three years, students from Rotaract Club
of HR College, Churchgate, have been arranging
funds for small-scale businesses in Kumbarwadi and
Varwandi villages of Ahmednagar district. As part the
'Gazab Maharashtra' project, villagers — mostly
youngsters — pitch business ideas to students who
provide them anywhere between Rs.5,000 to
Rs.10,000 as seed money to start the enterprises.
While parents of students chip in, most of the funding
comes from big corporations.
Ishan Jawrani, a student of HR College, said the
project took shape in 2015 when they visited villages
to dig wells in drought-hit Marathwada. “Village
chiefs showed us around and highlighted the need
for better schools and colleges. So we decided to
improve literacy rate in the villages. We taught junior
college students entrepreneurship and basic However, not all these enterprises have such

the world a better place. Lastly, they visited the
ward for young children, who were adorable.
Then later with the permission of sisters of the
shelter, we sang the song “Aashayein” from the movie Barfi, after
finishing the song we were astonished to find that the children
were crying. They discovered that this song was one of the best
gifts ever received by the children, and these tears were of joy
and gratitude.
Leaving the shelter visibly moved by the experience, with heavy
hearts, the students believed they could make a difference and
make the inmates smile. They understood the term that “Not all
Heroes wear Capes”. They greatly appreciate and respect the
sisters of Asha Daan for their selfless work towards society,

caring.
