Who We Are

People who succeed have momentum. The more they succeed, the more they want to succeed and find ways to achieve their goals. These words truly describe the journey of RSBDV trust and its many institutional tributaries.

Brief History

This trust was founded on the 29th March 1957 with one noble purpose in mind 'Education'. Mulund was bereft of good educational institutes when this trust embarked on its journey of literacy in the masses.

The first chairman of the trust, Shree Ravji Joshi had offered his own house veranda to start a pre-primary school 'Bal VikasMandir'. What started out as small 10x10 feet hall has now flourished into a well-established educational institute housing 2,000 students.

The Marathi Medium Primary section started in a building near Mulund station. In the late 1960s, a philanthropist in Mulund, Shree WamanraoMuranjan donated land near Mulund East Railway Station. A building on the land housed the secondary and higher secondary section of the Marathi medium school.

Looking at the changing needs and the response, the trust started an English medium school 'VidyaPrabodhini' in June 2000. Later, the institute got additional land in Mulund where the Marathi medium school was moved. In the year 2008 a Junior college was started which now has a capacity of approx. 1,100 students. Now all institutes together have about 2,500 students. The total teaching and non-teaching strength is above 100.

Our Mission & Vision

We at Shardanilayam Educational Complex believe in Quality Education

We all are concerned about diminishing moral values in school curriculum and growing discrimination in student's communities. On the face of this evidence the distressing certainty in the country is that we have made no serious changes in this regard. However it has been realized that the obligatory school education in our country has contributed to some extent to this worrying situation.

We push the students hard to a world of predetermined sets of competencies - to the process of learning something by repeating it until you remember it rather than by understanding the meaning of it. Our classroom teaching method deprives children opportunities to learn in a joint and thoughtful manner to help students acquire the fundamental social expertise. The old system of examination has contributed to a mad rush for Ranks, Seats and Jobs. The real objectives of education are never focused to students.

Sharadanilayam's efforts in this regard:

We are seriously bothered about the declining awareness of cultural backgrounds among students, and try our level best to restore the same through several performances, right from the root level. This year we had organized several cultural functions and student's involvement and participation were just immense.

Our Institution is equipped with an auditorium in a phased manner, cultural equipments -Tabla, Harmonium, Make-up Kit, etc.

We ensure that children from each sections of society recognize the moral ideas and attitudes that belong to a particular group or society and build up on those virtues.

Further realizing that, the approved textbooks to students be likely to provide insufficient plasticity in amalgamating local resources including local ‘texts’ and culture, we take enough corrective actions to refurbish the mindset of young children, with love for their own culture and heritage.

We are confident in the coming years we would be able to transfer our determination and passion to a more real and concrete state.
