Sir K P College of Commerce, Surat was established in 1947 managed under Sarvajanik Education Society.

This new institution of higher education in commerce, started by the society in 1946 owed their existence to the generous donation by Sir Kikabhai Premchand, then president of the society.

The establishment of the Sir Kikabhai Premchand College of Commerce was a landmark in the growth and  development of the Sarvajanik Education Society. This new institution of higher education in Commerce, started by the Society in 1946, owed its existence to the generous donation of Rs.1,00225/- by   Sir Kikabhai Prerhchand, then president of the society, and to the untiring  efforts of some of the leading members of the society. In 1945 Sir Kikabhai Premchand, who had been greatly impressed by the educational activities of the Society, made over to it 100 ordinary shares of the Fort Gloster Jute Manufacturing Co. Ltd. and 50 shares of the Hukamchand Jute Mills Ltd. of the market value of  Rs.1,00225/- on the conditions that the society should start a commerce college within two years, i.e. by June 1947, that the college should be named after the person named by Sir Kikabhai, that the amount of the donation should  be utilized towards the construction of a building for the  commerce college and that a minimum amount of Rs. 3,00,000/- should be collected, by the society for starting and maintaining the college.

The Managing Committee of the Society accepted the donation and began to make arrangements for starting the Commerce College. An application was sent to the University of Bombay in August 1945. The Local Inquiry Committee appointed by the University for the purpose visited Surat on 23^rd December 1945 and the Senate of the University recommended to the Government in March 1946 the affiliation of the Commerce College for teaching of courses leading up to Intermediate  commerce  class for two years.

The college was named as Sir Kikabhai Premchand College of Commerce and it started working from June 20, 1946 with a total  number of 181 students.   Shri Y. D.
