The institute is named after the late Rev. Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues. Under the inspiration of its founder, the Agnel Fathers (the trustees of the Society of St. Francis Xavier, Pilar) realized that their contribution to the process of nation building would be through the spread of facilities for technical education. They founded technical education facilities in Bandra (Mumbai), Vashi (Navi Mumbai), Verna (Goa), New Delhi, Noida, Pune, and Ambarnath (Thane).
Though Fr. Rodrigues did not live long enough to see his dream come true in the form of the College of Engineering at Bandra, the clearance for this college had just been obtained days before his sudden death in 1984.
