At Vidyamandir Turst Diamond Jubilee Celebrations
Taleybaug, formerly Main Office of the Trust, now Planapur Museum
A number of donors, including members of the community, ex-students from the Trust’s institutions and other well-wishers, have collectively pledged large amount towards further development of the educational and social initiatives of the Vidyamandir Trust, Palanpur. The donations were all made during and soon after the massive Diamond Jubilee celebrations of the Trust that took place in Palanpur in January this year. Sixty years after it was set up Kantilal Chhotalal ‘Kanubhai’ Mehta as a small initiative to boost primary education in the city of the Palanpur, the Trust has expanded into a reputed educational institution. Its activities are spread over fourteen campuses, encompass 124 institutions, and bring together over six thousand children from varied backgrounds, and with different needs. The Trust has a staff of over 400 persons. Thanking the donors, Arun R. Mehta, chairman, Ashish Mehta, Managing Trustee and Kavin C. Parikh, Trustee of the Vidyamandir Trust said, “No educational institution can remain stagnant. The Trust realizes that but for the willing cooperation of our own people it would have not been possible to expand the scope and reach of its’ educational activities. The trust sincerely thanks the donors and well wishers for their continuing and increasing support.” The Trust has recently said that moving forward there was a need to regenerate and innovate, to bring in continuous changes in academic content, teaching methods, technology and infrastructure as well as to always remain relevant to the times. With the huge support it has received, it appears that Vidyamandir Trust is well set to take giant steps in the direction of fulfilling these objectives.
