“More Than a School: A Gurukul that nurtures a meaningful perspective on life.”
Our Identity: A Luminous Movement in Education
Established in 1990, Vivekananda Pratishthan, Jalgaon, stands as one of Northern Maharashtra’s most revered educational institutions, dedicated to nurturing value-driven, enlightened citizens. Over three and a half decades, the institution has evolved from a humble initiative into a premier Centre of Educational Excellence that seamlessly bridges India’s timeless pedagogical wisdom with the dynamic demands of contemporary global learning.
As the flagship educational project of the Keshav Smruti Seva Samuha (Group), Vivekananda Pratishthan is guided by a profound commitment to nation-building. We view education not as a commercial transaction or a mere path to academic credentials, but as a sacred, transformative journey, a lifelong process of character incubation, intellectual awakening, and social responsibility.
Our Heritage & Visionary Founders
The enduring foundation of Vivekananda Pratishthan rests upon the selfless service, moral clarity, and institutional foresight of its legendary founders:
Dr. Avinash (Dada) Acharya
An eminent social reformer, visionary activist, and thinker whose core philosophy laid the groundwork for an educational sanctuary centered on character formation, civic duty, and maternal empathy for society.
Shri Raghuji Raravikar
Founder Secretary and distinguished academician, whose tireless organizational leadership and devotion translated ideological vision into structured, academic excellence.
Shri Bharat (Dada) Amalkar
Dynamic social leader and catalyst of youth development, whose selfless community service instilled a spirit of Seva & Samarpan and voluntary commitment deep into the culture of the institution.
Together, these visionary leaders established Vivekananda Pratishthan on the firm conviction that true education must prepare students for life, not merely for examinations
