When qualified Indian nationals were denied attachments as teachers and doctors to the Grant Medical College, Mumbai, few groundbreaking Indian doctors who had studied in UK decide to set up their own medical college. It was decided that only Indian nationals would be admitted as teachers and doctors. This led to the establishment of the Gordhandas Sunderdas Medical College through a handsome fund donated by the heirs of Seth Gordhandas Sunderdas, an affluent merchant of Bombay.
