R.D National College & W.A Science College(Bandra Nationals College)

R.D. National College is the first college of the Hyderabad (Sind) National Collegiate Board. Today this Board has over 22 educational institutions catering to students from all backgrounds. A variety of courses are offered, ranging from Engineering, Pharmacy and Education to Arts, Science and Commerce.

Established originally in 1922 with the blessings of Dr. Annie Besant and Rishi Dayaram Gidumal, the college saw a shift in its location from Hyderabad (Sind) to Bombay in 1949. This was brought about through the tireless efforts of the founder Principal Mr. K.M. Kundnani with unstinted support from barrister H.G. Advani. Mr. Kundnani was the Principal of the college in Sind and in a moment of emotional impulse promised his harried and anguished teachers that he would give them jobs in Bombay where he intended to start a college.

The college stage has been the launching pad of many creative talents. Amjad Khan, the fiery dacoit of ‘Sholay’ learnt and developed his acting talents on the college stage. Jaaved Jaffri, put on his dancing shoes first on this stage. There are many more to whom the college has given unflinching support in the realization of their talents.
