The S.M.Patel College of Home Science was established by Charutar Vidya Mandal in June 1971 under the able guidance of the director Madam Tarabai.The donation towards the building of S.M.Patel College of Homescience came from Shree Manibhai Shivabhai Patel and brothers of Sojitra and the college is named after their father Shree S.M.Patel.

Home Science is an inter disciplinary field dealing with the science and art of living. It is an integral knowledge which draws from pure,applied and social sciences as well as technology and management.The focus is preparing young women for a profession and dealing with life situations.It also placed a vital role in increasing the capacity of the family and community for a better quality of life through the competences developed through this education.

S.M.Patel college of Home science is the only women's college in Charutar area committed to the cause of women's empowerment through access to education through formal and non formal streams. As I take over the mantle of Principal ship, I realize that this is due to the fact that this institution was shaped by the toil and sweat of towering personalities like Pujya Shri Bhaikaka, Shri Bhikhabhai, Shri H. M. Patel and Dr. C L Patel.

Faculty of Home Science comprises four divisions, viz.., Human Development, Food and Nutrition, Textiles and Clothing and Family Resource Management. Members of the teaching faculty of the departments, while performing their roles of information and knowledge dissemination, also strive hard to make tangible contributions to the advancement of knowledge by undertaking research endeavours into the different aspects of Home Science. We have tried to adapt and formulate the course outline to suit the changing global needs thus improving the utility of the degree programme by making it career-oriented.

We have undergone for NAAC re-accreditation and got "A" grade with a CGPA 3.12 on a four point scale. The grade will be valid for five years from March, 2013. Recently the college achieved the status of `College with Excellence' from UGC and in total only 32 college in India are given this status in 2016. I am sure that we will maintain the legacy of the college.

At this juncture I look forward to getting diligent support, teamwork and encouragement from all the stake holders viz. the management, the faculty, the students and others in our efforts to reclaim our past glory and even excel the past achievements.
