It was 68 years back, in 1958 that few Jain visionaries of the Godwad belt conceptualized and seeded ‘Vidyawadi’ with just 3 girls. The concept was to uplift the female segment of the society, by imparting education to girls who were deprived of education those days. It was a tough time convincing people to move there girls out of the parda system and let them gain education. But these gems of the Godwad belt were dedicated to inspire, motivate, people for girl education.
Today Vidyawadi is spread over 65 acres of sprawling lush green land, with a huge sprawling infrastructure encompassing 4 educational units, 7 hostels, adequate administrative building’s, canteen, tuckshop, mess and residential quarters for faculty and staff. We have a whooping strength of 2300 and growing, of which 700 girls from all over India are enjoying residential facility in our 7 hostels. Residential girls enjoy healthy nutritious jain food in our mess, clean and healthy surrounding, spacious airy hostels, disciplined lifestyle full of values and culture, sports facilities, friendly mentors and wardens, skill development center, coaching facilities, basically - ‘A home away from home’.
We have grown slowly and steadily in the past 6 decades. We started with Hindi Medium school in 1958, moving to add on College in 1997 and English Medium School in 2004, similiarly we started with 2/3 hostels initially today we have 7 and one is under construction. Vidyawadi has always been conscious about the needs of its students, teachers and employees, at the same time the requirement of the society and has developed this institute with this perception.
