Every educational institution has a purpose. Symbiosis has a truly unique purpose. 

Set up to take care of international students studying in India and to provide them with a 'home away from home', the Symbiosis International Cultural Centre was established in 1971. It has evolved from being a cultural centre to a renowned educational family with a host of institutions offering quality education from Pre-primary to Doctoral programmes. The Founder Director and President Padma Shree Dr. S. B. Mujumdar believed that education is the best medium to inculcate international understanding among the students. He hoped that Symbiosis students would become ambassadors of goodwill for our country. He envisioned a multi cultural campus where students from different parts of the world would study together, live together and play together. Even today he believes that Symbiosis students serve the world well by going back to their countries and fulfilling their potential of being true ambassadors of goodwill. A true manifestation of Symbiosis, a botanical term, meaning 'different species living together for mutual benefit'. The Symbiosis College of Arts and Commerce is proud to be part of this family.
