The House of Garwares was founded by the dynamic visionary, Late Padmabushan Balchandra Digamber alias Abasaheb Garware. The GICED is his brain-child as much as that of the university, signifying the joint venture of education and industry. Shri Abasaheb advocated the re-orientation of education, because in his view traditional arts, crafts and hereditary skills that passed from one generation to another were disappearing and there were no facilities for formal training in these areas. Further, trained manpower in various skills and trades migrated from India to other countries causing an acute shortage of skills at home.
The Garware Institute of Career Education and Development (GICED) turned based through the University of Mumbai in 1984 thru joint efforts of Padmabhushan Shri Abasaheb Garware and Prof. Ram Joshi then Vice-Chancellor of the University of Mumbai with an imaginative and prescient of carrying out diverse vocational and profession orientated courses.
