About Us
In the late 1950s a group of sensitive and visionary Gujaratis living in Delhi came together andfounded the Gujarat Education Society with a view to establish an institution commemorating the memory of our great national leader Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.  Thus came into being Sardar Patel Vidyalaya in the heart of New Delhi.  

In 1960-61, the Vidyalaya came up with the innovative idea of adopting a village where the students could go at regular intervals for social service.  The Vidyalaya therefore started taking them to Mandi, a small village on the southern outskirts of Delhi,  initially to acquaint the students with  rural life.  In 1972, the Society started  ?Mandi Centre? with the dual objectives of improving the quality of life in the village by rendering suitable fiscal and physical assistance (Shramdaan) and to provide  an opportunity for the students of  Sardar Patel Vidyalaya to learn to serve society.
