Vagad Pace Global School, Virar

DESCRIPTION :

It was felt that schools and colleges amidst the dazzle of metro were not providing the right environment for the mental, physical, educational and spiritual growth of students. Therefore, a group of like-minded, wise men from the Vagad Community contemplated the idea and meticulously nurtured their thought. As a result, in 1997, a Trust by the name of Vagad Educational Welfare Centre was formed. Thereafter, the Trust started searching the land with the object to start various activities including Residential School and after doing the survey of many places around Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Bordi, Deolali, etc. Village Sakwar, located on the outskirts of Mumbai, on National Highway No. 8, finalized the land near Mumbai at Village Sakwar.

In the year 2001, the earthquake destroyed the almost whole of Kutch Vagad Villages and many schools and Trust as the part of its one of the objects decided to make the school at Village Sakwar to give the education to the students of the Vagad Community and after making many obstructions and road blocks encountered the process of development but the outcome was a rewarding reality. On 28th February, 2002, the foundation of the school was laid.

The response from the community and the society at large was overwhelming. Finally on 10th June, 2004, VAGAD GURUKUL INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, CBSE was started from Class VIII to X. VAGAD GURUKUL INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, CBSE is an ambitious project which emerged from the benign thought of Vagad Community, thereafter for the part of the huge development in the campus, the Trust needed the donation and Smt. Monghiben, widow of Shree Jethalal Nonghabhai Gada offered the donation for the School and on 19th May 2005, the name of the Trust was changed to Shree Jethalal Nonghabhai Gada Vagad Education Welfare & Research Centre. The Trust work for the betterment of Vagad Community settled in Mumbai and elsewhere
