G.D. Modi College of Arts, Palanpur was established on 24th October 2013. It is one of the oldest and prestigious institutions of Banaskantha District.
The college is managed by Banaskantha District Kelavani Mandal, Palanpur whose vision is to provide quality education to students from diverse backgrounds, irrespective of region, religion, caste, economic strata and to promote scientific temper and spirit of humanism.
The area where the college is located can be considered as prime residential area vastly inhabited by people belonging to middle-class, lower middle-class and even poor people.
The college is affiliated to Hemachandracharya North Gujarat University, Patan and recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC) under section 2(f) & 12(B) on 11 September 2003 under Act, 1956. It is accredited by National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) with "B" Grade on 16th September 2004.
Since its establishment in 1964, the college has continued to perform well in implementing the vision and mission of “The Mandal”. It gives me the real thrill to witness my college making much progress at a gallop. The college is situated in one of the backward districts of the state.
80% students come from the rural area. Inspiring them to be a successful citizen of a global village is a mammoth task. In this environment of utter competitiveness, they have got really to push themselves to succeed in life. I am sure this college shall rise to this challenge.

Having successfully crossed the various hurdles encountered on the way to its growth, G.D.Modi College of Arts has grown in stature and strength today, and has become one of the finest educational institutions dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and excellence.
