Somaiya Vidyavihar

International Day of Education

Understanding the importance of education in the development of the individual, the family, the country and the world, the key goal of Somaiya Vidyavihar Education Trust has been building institutions that enable the means to realize it. We believe that be it in urban or rural areas of the country access to education must be matched by the quality of education

Leader Speak

Making the dream a reality! by Shri Samir Somaiya

My grandfather said, why not Somaiya. I said, no Chemical Engineering here, and Cornell is far better than Somaiya. He did not mind that. But said, ‘Go, but promise me, that when you return, in your lifetime, you will try to make our institutions to good, that if a candidate applies to Cornell, he/she will also apply to Somaiya’. And he allowed me to fly.
He traded dreams. Made my dreams his, and his mine. How powerful!!

Infrastructure

2018 the year gone by!

We continued building infrastructure for our institutions.

Infrastructure designed to incorporate being in touch with nature in our daily lives. Infrastructure that contributes to the development of our students and society.

Institution building is central to our service to the nation.
