The former President of India, APJ Abdul Kalam, inaugurated the ‘Silver Jubilee Celebrations’ of the college on 8th August 2014. The motto of the college is ‘Come in to learn, go out to serve’.

Located in Mumbai, the commercial capital of India, the college attracts a socially and culturally diverse set of learners every year. GNC offers educational opportunities to first-generation learners from Dharavi, Antop Hill and GTB Nagar that are located nearby. Sixty per cent of the learners are girls, most of whom face intersectional inequalities due to cultural, financial, and social disadvantages.

Emphasis is laid on accelerating the digitalisation process of college functioning and on developing a robust ecosystem for research by students and staff. Cashless transactions and technology integration are the hallmarks of GNC’s transparent administration.
