About

Shree R. F. Daboo Education Society was incorporated to ignite educational activities in the tribal region of Vyara., the eastern strip of Gujarat State. The strength and capabilities of the society ultimately carved out the institution known as Smt. R. P. Chauhan Arts and Smt. J. K. Shah and Shri K. D. Shah Commerce College, Vyara which is affiliated to Veer Narmad South Gujarat University, Surat. The mission of spreading light of new knowledge with an equal amalgamation and understanding of tribal culture began the strength of only 250 students in 1972.With the passage of time the institution has grown into a giant academic centre in the newly formed district of Tapi with more than 2341 students, about 85% of which belong to tribal community, enrolled during the year 2008-09 and 2012-13.
