"Whatever You Do Will Seem To Be Insignificant; But It Is Important That You Do It !"
- Mahatma Gandhi

With the efforts of our team, we were able to give wings to our maiden Education Project and were to give name to our dream - Smt. SavitribaiPhuleVidyalay, located in a remote area of Maharashtra,

Currently, we have strength of 600 students. We do not believe in charging any capitation fee or donations from any of our students or their parents. However, we do take a nominal fee from each student.

How the Seed was Sown?

It was the vision of our Chief Trustee, serving as a faculty member in education institutions that we were alarmed at a big gap prevailing in society between children of different strata. There was a huge difference in their outlook, which raised an requirement of bridging the gap between these two kinds:

  • 1. The parents who could afford to pay high fees, decided to enrol their kids in an already existing school
  • 2. The labourer parents who worked as labourers and were daily wagers &did not send their children to the local school as they could not afford the fee or due to social reasons.

Analysing the Need of the Hour - Educating Each Child.

Why Diva?

It is no secret the India’s heart beats in the rural land.

In 2003, Diva Village was totally underdeveloped, where the inhabitants were considered adivasis. Their academic level was absolute nil and almost all of them were illiterate. They worked as labourers in construction sites and were earning very little amount as daily wages. None of them understood the need of education for themselves or for their children. Living under such conditions, they were never able develop the mindset to understand the value of education. Spending more time with the locals and inculcating the value of education to their children, we also found that

slowly the adults wished that their children could be educated. But the affordability was the stigma. Our survey revealed that there was only one school in the whole area, which charged an admission fee that was in no way affordable to these poor labourers.This was our gut feeling which made our maiden venture to be located in a rural belt. As the cosmopolitan town of Mumbai already has various academic options, we decided to tap the rural public of DIVA who were then not very familiar with educational exposure.

Hence, we identified a plot of land in DIVA as our location of the learning center.
