The Prime Minister released a commemorative ₹100 coin to mark the centenary celebration. Mr. Modi’s visit to the SRCC comes amid the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) ongoing outreach to the young generation. He last visited the SRCC in 2013, when he was the Chief Minister of Gujarat.

In April this year, the Prime Minister met the governing body and a delegation from the college at his residence to mark the institution’s 100th anniversary. He also released a special commemorative postage stamp on the occasion.
