The SKM was instituted in the year 1959 by men of vision. Driven by the desire to effect social transformation through education, these benevolent individuals with an acute sense of social responsibility brought up the first centre of learning in the year 1962 on the huge 2.09 acre campus. Today the campus boasts of 5 educational institutes which undertake the noble task of imparting knowledge to about 4000 students. The J. M. Patel College of Commerce is one of these educational institutes.
