With a graceful charity of rupees 2 lacs (in 1960 A.D)donated by his highness Shri Vitthalbhai Shivabhai Patel, V.S.Patel college of Arts & Science, Bilimora was started on 15th June 1961. Because of unavailability of infrastructure 4 classes which included 2 of Science previous and the other 2 of inter Arts were inaugurated by late Shri Thakorbhai Manibhai Desai at Sir J.J.Mehta High School, Bilimora. The trustees of Sir J.J.Mehta High School offered this intermediate provision with out any expectation of monetary remuneration.
The proposed college got an affiliation of Gujarat University, Ahmedabad. After that Shri Naushir Manchersha Bilimoria donated a piece of vast land on Chikhli-Bilimora road, for a new building of V.S.Patel College, after the name of his father late Manchersha Burjorji Mengusi, where presently the whole campus is named as Mengusi Park.
The foundation stone of the new college building was laid down by the Chief Minister of Gujarat State at that time, late Shri Hitendrabhai Desai. The college which was started with merely four classes has now bulged up with a big college comprising of various sophisticated,well equipped departments glorified with well trained subjective teachers and vast, well furnished classrooms.Beside the main building, college comprises of chemistry laboratory for post graduate course which was developed by the graceful charity of Shri Kantidev Jethabhai Patel and Shri Kanubhai Zaverbhai Patel (BIPICO industry, Bilimora).

With a noble aspect of developing an innovative talent among the students of college, we are publishing a yearly magazine called TRIVENI, where the students who come from different social, cultural & educational back ground, reflect their ingenuity in the form of research and artistic articles.
The authorities including teaching and non-teaching staff are making continuous efforts to imbibe and upsurge a notion for social welfare among the students through various schemes like National Cadet Corps, National Service Scheme, Planning Forum , etc. As and when the need from the various sections of the society, especially during natural calamities like flood, earthquake, epidemics, etc, have araised, these cells have proved to be efficient.
This institution has hosted many conferences, seminars & sports events of district, university and
state level.
And last but not the least, our college, which has been continuously trailing the path for its all-round betterment, would have been next to impossible without the motherly care graced from our respectable & profusely respectable Principal.
