History
When established, it was known as Shri Govindram Seksaria Kala Bhavan. The institute came into being as a result of the desire expressed by the Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru to a group of leading industrialists of Indore for establishment of a technical institute.
An industrialist of the town, Seth Shri Kudilaji Seksaria, responded by donating the initial amount for starting the institution in the name of his late father Seth Shri Govindram Seksaria. In 1956 it was converted to a degree college with the course in Civil Engineering and its name was changed to Shri Govindram Seksaria Technological Institute, Indore.
With the introduction of M.Sc. courses in Applied Sciences the name of the institute was changed to its present name. In 1989 the institute was granted autonomous status by the University Grants Commission and the AICTE.

“The history of progress is written in the blood of men and women who have dared to espouse an unpopular cause, as, for instance, the black man’s right to his body, or woman’s right to her soul.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
“Culture, the acquainting ourselves with the best that has been known and said in the world, and thus with the history of the human spirit.”
