This college came into existence in July 1989 and we have completed twenty-eight eventful years. I have been indeed fortunate to have been one of the first five lecturers to join on July 10, 1989. With me were the late CA Ashok Sawant, Mrs. Malabika Ray, Mrs. Saraswathy and Mr. Pakhale. Mrs. Sangeeta Kore joined a day later. Mr. Raghavendra and Mrs. Jayashree Balan joined the college office along with Mr. Rajendra D in the library. Mr. Maruti Patel and Mr. Prakash Rasal joined us as peons. The Junior College moved from SIES School to our premises and the two Janaki teachers ensured that the process of integration could begin. From this small band we have now grown to close to a hundred teaching and non-teaching staff and over three thousand students. We have expanded from only B.Com to several selffinanced courses. We now offer BMS, BSC IT, BAF, BBI and BFM courses which are very popular with the student community. I am proud to be associated with this college and for a veteran like me it is my second home. I believe the vision of serving the community through education can be realized only if all stakeholders work together in a spirit of co-operation and collaboration. Together we can take the community forward on a journey towards empowerment and enlightenment.

The Lala Lajpatrai Memorial Trust was formed in 1959, marking the eve of the Birth Centenary of the Late Shri Lala Lajpatrai, to work for the objectives which were so dear and near to Lalaji's heart. Though Lalaji was interested in almost all fields of activities that contribute to the enrichment of national and social life, the cause of education was always uppermost on his mind. It was therefore desired by our late Prime Minister Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri that the most fitting way of commemorating the great patriot was to start an institution of higher education based on his ideology.

The actual establishment of the College was made possible due to the allotment of a valuable piece of land, admeasuring about 26,000 Sq.ft, on a fairly nominal rent, by the Government of Maharashtra. The good offices and the efforts of Late Shri Yashwantrao Chavan were primarily instrumental in getting the piece of land. The construction of the present huge magnificent building was made possible by the contribution made by the generous philanthropists and donation made by the trustees. With the formation of the Lala Lajpatrai Institute, the next logical step was the establishment of the Lala Lajpatrai College of Commerce and Economics. The College which is affiliated to the University of Mumbai is situated at Haji Ali, on the road named after Shri Lala Lajpatrai.
