Shri Vile Parle Kelavani Mandal (SVKM)

Shri Vile Parle Kelavani Mandal is a Public Charitable Trust registered under  (i) the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1960 No. 773 of 1934-35 and  (ii) the Bombay Public Trusts Act, 1950 (Bombay XXIX of 1950) No. F 30 (BOM) 1953. The Mandal was formed in 1934 & commenced its activities by taking over the Rashtriya Shala, a school established in 1921 in the wake of the national movement. The school was later renamed "Shrimati Gokalibai Punamchand Pitamber High School". The school has now grown into a first class institute, imparting secondary education to about 2300 pupils. To mark the 25th year of its valuable service in the field of Primary and Secondary Education, the Mandal decided to extend its activities to the sphere of University Education. The long felt need for a Science and Arts college in the growing western suburbs of Mumbai was fulfilled by the Mandal by establishing "Mithibai College of Arts and Chauhan Institute of Science" in 1961. The Trustees of Matushri Mithibai Balashram and sons of late Shri Mohanlal Dayal Chauhan made this possible because of handsome donations. The spirit of transcending horizons has its genesis in the values that the Mandal has conscientiously practised since the days of India's struggle for freedom. The values of patriotic fervour, selfless service and the spirit of indigenous enterprise serve as the guiding principles to all the institutions set up by the Mandal. During the last four decades or so the Mandal has established the following institutions besides Narsee Monjee Institute of Management and Higher Studies :- 1934 - Smt.
