Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Vidyalaya: 42 years of learning, leadership, and legacy

Mira Road’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Vidyalaya (SVPV) has been nurturing young minds for over four decades. Established in 1982, the school stands as a beacon of vision, perseverance, and faith in the transformative power of education. The CBSE section, introduced in 2024, marks a new chapter in its journey of excellence.

Founded by philanthropist Dr. Kiran Patel, SVPV was envisioned to empower students with knowledge, character, and purpose, shaping them into responsible citizens and contributors to society. Over the years, it has evolved into one of the city’s most respected and progressive institutions, celebrated for its academic distinction and holistic education.

A Legacy of Visionary Leadership

Managing Director Mr. Rakesh Patel has catapulted the institution into a new era of innovation and excellence. With a bold, future-ready outlook, he has championed digital learning ecosystems, cutting-edge science and robotics labs, state-of-the-art campus upgrades, and global exposure initiatives. Under his dynamic leadership, SVPV seamlessly blends tradition with transformation, staying rooted in values while soaring towards modern frontiers.

More Than Academics

The Institution celebrates the belief that every child is a masterpiece in the making, embracing a personalized learning philosophy that rejects the confines of a one-size-fits-all approach.

As Principal Dr. Sabina Keshwani affirms, “Our shared mission is to touch lives through learning — to inspire generations not merely to succeed, but to make a difference.”

Supporting her are the dedicated Headmistresses, Mrs. Marjorie Augustine, Dr. Dixita Dave Khan, and Ms.Esperance Kumble- each bringing expertise and care to their sections.

A Journey of Learning

The vibrant Pre-School Programme ignites curiosity and a lifelong love for learning, leading seamlessly through the foundational, preparatory, middle, and secondary stages. Innovative pedagogy, personal mentoring, and a perfect balance of academics and activities define every step of this journey.

Behind this success stands a dedicated, dynamic faculty—mentors who teach with empathy, inspire with purpose, and deliver excellence. Since its first graduating batch in 1988, SVPV has upheld an unbroken 100 percent SSC success record, a testament to its enduring academic strength.

Nurturing Values and Confidence

Beyond scholastic brilliance, SVPV shapes character, confidence, and compassion. Rooted in respect, integrity, and intellectual humility, students grow through sports, arts, and community engagement—emerging as grounded yet visionary individuals.

Here, smart classrooms meet spirited playgrounds, and tradition harmonizes with technology. Guided by visionary leadership and a child-centred philosophy, SVPV continues to honour every learner’s potential and elevate every dream.

Everyone makes mistakes. Don’t dwell on them, learn from them and make things right. Perfection doesn’t exist, whether in life in the world around us. Even if it does, we have to sometimes prioritise Progress over Perfection.
Mr. Rakesh Patel.
