The Hyderabad (Sind) National Collegiate Board (Sindhi: حيدرآباد (سنڌ) نيشنل ڪاليجيئيٽ بورڊ HSNCB) is an Indian non-profit organisation founded by Principal K. M. Kundnani in 1922 in the British India province of Sind which was later carved out as part of the Partition of British India in 1947. After Partition, he re-founded it in Bandra, Mumbai in 1949. It is one of the oldest educational trusts of India and currently administers 27 institutes under its umbrella including the Thadomal Shahani Engineering College, Mumbai.
The first college established by this Board was the Rishi Dayaram National College or R. D. National College, more commonly known as the "National College", located on Linking Road in Bandra, a suburb of Mumbai (then Bombay).
R.D. National College was founded in 1922 in the city of Hyderabad in the then Sind Division of the Bombay Presidency (i.e. province) of British India by the Sindhi speaking Hindu community, under the inspiration of Dr. Annie Besant and Rishi Dayaram Gidumal, a Sindhi Hindu religious leader. After Partition, Mr. K.M. Kundnani, who had been its principal, re-founded it in Bandra, Mumbai in 1949, with critical assistance from Advocate H.G. Advani.
The Hyderabad (Sind) National Collegiate Board, well known as HSNC board, is a charitable trust established by the Sindhi Community in 1922. It currently manages and administers 27 institutes under its umbrella and is presided by Mr Niranjan Hirandani, one of India's most respected entrepreneurs.
