History[edit]
BTTC was established in April 1969 as a grant-in-aid institution for the Sindhi-speaking (linguistic) minority by the Hyderabad (Sindh) National Collegiate Board, one of India's oldest educational trusts. At the time of its inception, it was affiliated with the University of Mumbai.
Constituent college of HSNC University, Mumbai[edit]
In 2019, it became one of the founding constituent colleges of Maharashtra's second cluster university called HSNC University, Mumbai[1][2] which is essentially a joint-venture between the Ministry of Human Resource Development (erstwhile, Ministry of Education), the state government (Government of Maharashtra), and the HSNC Board. The aim of creating this Cluster university was to overcome the lacunae in the existing University system of India. The university was established under the RUSA sheme initiated by the HRD Ministry.
Vision[edit]
It was the vision of the founders of the H.(S.)N.C. Board, ‘Vidyasagar’ late Principal K.M. Kundnani of K.C. College and a legal luminary Barrister Hotchand G. Advani who realized the need and importance of teacher education. Both these eminent personalities played a pioneering role in the field of higher education in Mumbai. Beginning with conventional degree courses, the H.(S.)N.C. Board continued to set up institutions of specialized learning.
Today, the Board manages a chain of professional, vocational, and job-oriented courses in various disciplines, and is one of the largest educational corpora in Mumbai & Thane District.
Leadership & Location[edit]
The college's founder-Principal, Dr. N. R. Parasnis, initiated the work of the college in four rooms of the K. C. College building at Churchgate in April 1969, and later in Cuffe Parade, Colaba in 1971. Dr. B.P. Lulla who served as Principal from 1973 to 1990, has played a significant role in shaping the personality and destiny of the institution.[3]
The college shifted to its current premises at Apollo Bunder in May 1991. Dr. K.T. Bhatia, Dr. M.M. Lulla, and Dr. Mintu Sinha took the college to even greater heights. Dr. Bhagwan Balani, the current I/C Principal took charge of the college in 2018.[3]
Courses[edit]
The college offers teacher preparation programs for various levels ranging from the Early Childhood Education Programme, the Diploma in Elementary Education, and the Bachelor of Education Programmes. It is also a center for Doctor of Philosophy (Education) of the University of Mumbai.
With humble beginnings in 1969, BTTC has become a resource center in education due to its prominent achievements in teacher preparation, in-service training[4], research, extension services, co-curricular activities, and add-on courses. The alumni of the college are well-placed in esteemed educational institutions both locally as well as globally.[5]
