Shri Vanraj Arts and Commerce College, managed by Shri M.S.V.S. Kelavani Mandal, Dharampur has earned its fame as a reputed academic institution imparting higher education  in the tribal area of Dharampur. Late Shri Nanubhai Maganlal Desai, the founder of this college  and his followers together undertook  the responsibility  of  imparting higher education to poor boys and girls of this backward  area. It was a tough task  to establish  and run an academic institution in the total absence of any financial help. A lot of talented Adivasi boys and girls were deprived of higher education  due to their poor condition. Late Shri Nanubhai Maganlal Desai  was very deeply concerned with this problem and as a result, he started Shri Vanraj Arts and Commerce College in June 1984  having only the strength of 251 students. At present the academic and co curricular activities are taking place in an organized way in this college and the response of the students is immense. We are proud that many of our students have moulded excellent academic career and are  employed in defence, paramilitary and other civil services.  The educated students of our college have created remarkable impact on the  socio-economic status of the tribal community. Throughout its journey, the institution has  proved to be a decisive  factor  for the  physical and mental growth of  tribal  students of this area. This institution has provided ample opportunities to students  to excel in curricular and in co curricular activities like sports,  NSS, NCC, cultural etc. Our students are always ahead in sports and cultural events organized by Veer Narmad South Gujarat University, Surat.
