Shri Govindram Seksaria Institute of Technology and Science (SGSITS), formerly known as Govindram Seksaria Technological Institute (GSTI), is an institute of technology located in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is an autonomous institution funded by the Government of Madhya Pradesh, India.

SGSITS is an autonomous institute for academic and administrative purposes. It is a part of the Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya. Its degrees are issued by this university.[citation needed]

History

[edit]

Established in 1952, SGSITS was initially known as "Shri Govindram Seksaria Kala Bhavan". The institute came into being as a result of the desire expressed by the Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to a group of leading industrialists of Indore for establishing a technical institute.

The institute is named after Seth Shri Govindram Seksaria.

An industrialist of the town, Seth Shri Kudilaji Seksaria, responded by donating an initial amount for starting the institute in the name of his late father Seth Shri Govindram Seksaria, who is famously known as the Cotton King of India.

In 1956 it was converted to a degree college with a course in Civil Engineering and its name was changed to Govindram Seksaria Technological Institute (GSTI).

With the introduction of M.Sc. courses in Applied Sciences, the name of the institute was changed to its present name. In 1989 the institute was granted autonomous status by the University Grants Commission and the AICTE.[citation needed]

The Department of Management Studies was established in the year 2012.
