About Us
The house of
Garwares was founded by the dynamic visionary,
Late Shri Bhalchandra Digamber alias Abasaherb
Garware, The GICED is his brain-child as much as
that of the university, signifying the happy
marriage of industry and education.
Shri Abasaheb had been
advocating the re-orientation of education
because in his view traditional arts, crafts and
hereditary skills that normally pass from one
generation to another were disapperaring
and there were no facilities for formal
training in these areas. Moreover, craftsmen in
various skills migrated from India to other
countries causing an acute shortage of skills at
home.
It was in 1981 during the University of Mumbai`s
post-centennial silver jubilee celebrations that
the then
Vice-Chancellor,
Prof. Ram Joshi, approached the House of Garware
for financial support to to new educational
ventures. Together and separately the University
and the Garware Foundation examined several
proposals and favoured the establishment of an
institute wholly devoted to the promotion of
career education. Affirming its interest, the
Garware Foundation signed an agreement with the
University for support in establishing such an
operation for a major diversification programme
in higher education.
The institute was
inaugurated on October 27, 1984 and began its
regular diploma courses in August 1985.The house of
