Brief History
SGSITS was first called "Shri Govindram Seksaria Kala Bhavan" when it was founded in 1952. Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's wish to build a technical institute was conveyed to a group of prominent Indore manufacturers, and as a result, the institute was established.
Seth Shri Kudilaji Seksaria, a local industrialist, replied by contributing a sum of money to establish the institute in his late father's honour, Seth Shri Govindram Seksaria, also referred to as the Cotton King of India.
Its name was changed to Govindram Seksaria Technological Institute (GSTI) in 1956 when it was transformed into a degree institution offering a course in civil engineering.
