H.L.College Alumni Association

The idea of forming an association of past HL-ites stemmed from the desire for fellowship and the pull of an emotional bond with the college where we as students spent the crucial years of our lives. It was at the H L College of Commerce that we the HL-ites were moulded to take on the challenge of the real world that awaited us. HL has contributed a lot in shaping our lives both at the personal and professional levels. Therefore we were asking ourselves how we could best serve not merely our Alma Mater but society at large. It was the sentiments that led to the founding of the HLCAA (The H.L.College Alumni Association) in April 1989. Shri Hemant Shah became the founder president of the Association and Dr.R L Sanghvi, the then principal of the HLCC, the First Chairman of the Association. Shri Hemant Shah, well supported by his team members, set the ball rolling.

The philosophy of the HLCAA has been to be a self-sufficient organization funded through Life Membership fees and the revenues generated from the various programmes organized by the Association from time to time. As a policy matter, HLCAA does not collect donations except in exceptional situations.
