Shri Ram College of Commerce, founded in 1926, is commencing its centenary celebrations, marking a century of significant contributions to commerce education in India. The college’s journey began with a vision to make professional education accessible beyond a privileged few, notably admitting women when it was uncommon.
From its early days, SRCC has mirrored India's transformation, from colonial rule through independence and economic liberalization. The institution, initially a trust established in 1920 by Sir Shri Ram, evolved into a college affiliated with Delhi University, later renamed SRCC in 1951.
As SRCC marks its 100th year, planned expansions include a new academic block and enlarged girls' hostel to manage increased student numbers following recent policy reforms. The university vice-chancellor lauded SRCC as a globally recognized academic brand.
