Guru Nanak Vidyak Society

Guru Nanak Vidyak Society is as old as our freedom milestone. It started operation in the field of education in the year 1947. Imbued with such a mission over many years back a band of energetic workers met together on June 22, 1947 in Bombay (Mumbai) and a decision was taken to start a school at Koliwada. This decision was in fact long overdue, for the need of a school for Punjabi speaking pupils in the premier city was being persistently felt. Hundreds of Punjabi families had permanently settled in Bombay (Mumbai) & made it their home even before the great political upheaval of 1947. The thousands of migrants from Punjab, North West Frontier Province and Sindh felt the need for shelter, education more obvious and urgent. The task was formidable & available resources in men & material were quite meager. The urge however, could not be resisted and thus Guru Nanak Vidyak Society came into existence in July 1947 with S. Pratap Singh as president. Some more public spirited and philanthropic friends rallied around the same and took the first step on 1 July, 1947, registered with the registration No. F-98 (BOM) (BPT ACT, 1950) REGN NO. 1621/1947-48 (SOC REG ACT, 1860).
