The Management of the College – Uttar Bharatiya Sangh, a Hindi Linguistic Minority Institution, was established on December 15th 1949, by Hindi Speaking Community as a Charitable Institution in the Metropolitan Region of Mumbai under the Society Registration Act, 1860 and the Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950.
The founders of the Uttar Bharatiya Sangh were concerned about the noble needs of the community and decided to share the responsibility by setting up cultural and educational institutions which could uphold the science of knowledge. This 74-year-old non-profit organization started its activities with the motto ‘Organisation is Strength’ and offered dedicated service to the society in the field of culture, education, and overall growth of the youth population in our country. Initially, their activities centered around philanthropy, cultural activities, health check-up camps, blood donation drives, relief work during natural disasters, and financial assistance to needy students towards their education and health.
Gradually their focus shifted to organizational capacity building through education. This motivated them to establish a primary school known as Hindi Bal Vidya Mandir in 1978.Then an inaugural of secondary school took place in the year 1984 at Asalpha in Ghatkopar. To promote culture, an auditorium was built by President Shri R N Singh in memory of his father late Shri Babu Satyanarayan Singh, which was inaugurated in the year 2000. Maintaining the same pace of commitment, a Degree College, affiliated to University of Mumbai was established in the academic year 2003 –2004 in the memory of late Shri Mahendra Pratap Sharada Prasad Singh. The very next year a Jr. College named Uttar Bharatiya Sangh Junior College of Commerce and Science (Maharashtra State HSC Board) was established in the year 2004 – 2005. The journey which started in 1949 continues with future plans to set up Vocational Training Institute, Sports Academy, Guest House, etc to empower the nation.
All the activities of Uttar Bharatiya Sangh are managed by fairly elected working Committee members.
