It is named after Vitthalbhai Patel, the eminent freedom fighter who became the first Indian President of the Central Legislative Assembly during the British regime. It was with this college that educational process began in the newly founded Vallabh Vidyanagar, which later flowered into a unique township with institutions of education for all levels and branches - from KG to PG. Birla Vishwakarma Mahavidyalaya (Engineering College) was born the following year (1948) and Bhikhabhai Jivabhai Vanijya Mahavidyalaya (Commerce College) was ushered into existence in 1951. All this was achieved despite a host of acute problems, mostly financial. It must be remembered that the engineering college was the first ever to be started by a private trust in the entire Bombay State which then spanned from Karachi (now in Pakistan) to Dharwad! Bhailalbhai Dyabhai Patel, later warmly taken to their heart by the people of Gujarat as 'Bhaikaka' had earned reputation for his sense of values, dedication and absolute integrity. He took along with him Bhikhabhai Kuberbhai Patel, endearingly called 'Bhikhabhai Saheb', a dedicated and farsighted teacher, and established the colleges, schools and residential quarters etc. for the staff through Charutar Vidya Mandal and Charotar Gramoddhar Sahkari MandaI. Not only this, they founded Sardar Vallabhbhai Vidyapith (University) within eight years. Visits of several very important persons like Lord and Lady Mount batten, Jawaharlal Nehru and Sardar Patel in quick succession and their expression of high opinion of the boundless courage of the duo's selflessness and practical idealism shot Vallabh Vidyanagar to national fame and the growth and development of the educational township, which now has a short past of merely Sixty Six years but a long history, continued progress by leaps and bounds. Bhikhabhai expired in 1956. When Bhaikaka entered active politics in 1958 he handed over the reins of administration of Charutar Vidya Mandal to H M Patel, popularly called H M, an ICS officer of great repute. Among other things, he had provided strategic guidance to our country during the partition of India. H M Patel & Development H M nurtured the Mandal with great care and established numerous institutions like Bhailalbhai & Bhikhabhai Polytechnic, Nalini and Arvind Arts College, Kala Kendra College of Fine Arts, Rajratna P T Patel Science College, H M Patel Institute of English, S M Patel College of Home Science, College of Architecture, A R College of Pharmacy, I B Patel English Teaching School, Higher Secondary Complexes of Arts, Commerce, Science and Home Science, H M Patel Career Development Centre and Sardar Patel Renewable Energy Institute etc. Sardar Patel University-run Agro– Economic Research Centre is also his creation. He built hostels for students and started memorial lecture series in the names of Sardar Patel, Bhaikaka and Ishwar Petlikar. He conceived the projects of Vitthal Udyognagar and Medical College and Hospital Complex and worked day and night for their establishment on a sound footing. After H M Patel passed away, the public spirited Dr C L Patel, former Executive Engineer in the Gujarat Electricity Board, succeeded him as Chairman of the Mandal. Endowed with sound realism and solid and unshakable endurance, he harnessed his boundless energy in holding aloft the resplendent torch he inherited from his illustrious predecessors and joined the relay race. He founded here in Vallabh Vidyanagar countless self-financed colleges such as G H Re-Accreditation Report.
