Smt. Sunderbai Hansraj Pragji Thackersey  
(
11-06-1885 to 12-01-1980)  
Smt. Sunderbai, a soul of religion and education, selfless service and philanthropy, had  
lived a meaningful life, just short of only five years, to become a Centenarian.  
At just the blooming age of 12 years, she was honoured with the nuptial sanctity in the year  
1897, with Shri Hansarj Pragji Thackersey, the grand son of Shri Thackersey Muljiseth. At a very  
young age, Shri Hansarj Pragji Thackersey had settled down well in business and won laurels in the  
social and political arena as well.  
At the age of 39 years, having lived a wedded life for 27 years, the cruel fate snatched away  
from her, Sheth Shri Hansraj. At that time, though miserably bereaved of the lifeb s partner, her profound  
faith in Almighty and her religious mental spirit, accorded in her great courage and strength, to take  
up faithfully and creatively all the responsibilities of unfulfilled assignments and cherished dreams of her  
loving counter-part.  
She created a Trust, b Hansraj Pragji Thackersey Education Fundb  in memory of her late  
husband and from its corpus, set up the Hansraj Pragji Thackersey Girlb s School.  
She channelised her wealth for many good causes. Her donations for the development and  
maintenance of educational institutions in Dwarka and a college at Nasik are worth the note in the  
history of the progress of education for girls.  
She had made a royal donation to Vanita Vishram, at Bombay and Surat, and offered her  
devoted services, for about three decades, on its Managing Committee.  
She also encouraged many students to go abroad for studies or business. For more than half  
century, this spacious building at Maharshi Karve Road (Queenb s Road) stands monument, now housing  
the Gujarati medium H. P. T. Girlb s School, an English medium - The Blossoms Sunderbai  
Thackersey English High School, and a large Assembly Hall, popularly known as Sunderbai Hall.  
She was also one of the pioneers and the main supporter of the Bhatia General Hospital, which  
she equipped with the latest equipment and made it as one of the leading hospitals. Here she rendered  
her services as the Hon. Secretary for many years.  
She, under the close association with Lady Premlila Thackersey, her nearest relative, the founder  
of the S.N.D.T. Womenb s University, Mumbai, had directed her donations to this University and to-day,  
in her memory. stands SHPT School of Library Science and SHPT College of Science at Mumbai and  
one of the Sections of Polytechnic of this University at the Juhu Campus. She was a member of the  
Senate of this University, for a number of years.  
The heritage she has left behind her, is benevolently utilised with the same zeal and spirit,  
bearing in mind her ideals of life, by her devoted loyal Trustees, who execute her cherished dreams,  
with no axe to grind.  
She had lived a life in the service of humanity,  
keeping her goal, b Work is Worshipb .

It is indeed a matter of pride for the college that Research Horizons is now in  
the eleventh year of publication. The college has always been sensitive to the need of  
promoting a pervasive research culture among the faculty members.  
I must thank the members of the expert panel for scrutinizing the research papers and  
for having given their valuable feedback to the contributors. Congratulations to the  
members of the editorial board for their hardwork to get the journal published in time!  
Congratulations to the paper contributors for sharing their research experiences and  
knowledge! We are very grateful to Shri. Chandrasen Merchant for providing the  
necessary financial support for the publication of the journal for last 11 years.  
The patronage, goodwill and support of many well wishers have helped to make  
Research Horizons a quality peer reviewed journal. It is my view that the phrase  
research culture must be taken to refer to both internal and external enlightenment, to  
individual and institutional attitude. Every effort must be made to actively and  
continuously awaken intellectual curiosity. This is what our institutions of higher learning  
are expected to aim and strive to achieve if we wish to be called the honorable  
members of the knowledge society.  
Research, particularly academic research, had been relatively isolated from the  
demands of economic utility. It is complained that the academic underperforms in  
research and also that a good deal of research in our universities is marginal and  
deficient in originality and quality. One of the reasons usually given is that our universities  
have not created pervasive research culture among their products, that there is no  
encouraging ambience in our society for creativity, for producing quality and or doing  
research. With the UGC norms teachers should have research aptitude.  
I wish all the teachers the very best in this endeavor. Certainly Research Horizons will  
continue its efforts to become a journal that attracts the best and the brightest scholars.
