The
success of a Company is known by what it gives back to the society. In 1959,
Late Lala Shyam Lal Gupta established Shyam Lal Charitable Trust to serve
the cause of education and medicine. In 1964, the trust set up Shyam Lal
College which is the first college to come up in trans-Yamuna area for
formal Education to cater to the educational needs of the student community.
Late Dr.Zakir Hussain, the then Vice President of India and Chancellor of
Delhi University, laid the foundation stone of what would become one of the
finest institutes of learning in the country. In September 1969, evening
classes were started at the college. At present, the college has over 3000
students on its rolls. The college had also received an award from Delhi
University for providing best facilities for Computer Science education for
the under graduate stream. The trustees have identified the
challenges of higher education and believe that many changes are to bring
relevance and to focus the needs of today and the future.
The group is identifying new areas of reforms, expansions and building
effective partnerships as the contribution to the institution.
