Late A. K. Patil Education Trust's Rajiv Gandhi Vidhyalay

children of Nilegaon village. While a great leader, the 6th Prime Minister RAJIV RATNA GANDHI had been assassinated on 21st May 1991 who was known for "working round the clock", who had "drive, zeal and initiative" for "outstanding success" and who had contributed in implementing National Policy on Education to modernise and expand higher education programs across India, the founder shared the same visionary and had the basic thought of educational environment available to all. The founder Shri Manik Anant Patil sensed that education too would have to become more broad based and more vocational in nature if India was to stand up to the world competition in quality, so he and the trustees then came into agreement of initiating primary education in English medium and starting a school for the deprived village kids who had no chance of attending an English medium school due to poverty. The school aimed to provide vocational training with basic education in English medium, but later it was seen that the parents in nilegaon village still wanted their children to take education in their mother tongue and hence Marathi medium was soon started as well so the kids wouldn’t have to travel far foe Education. Since inception, the school has maintained high academic standards and has always believed that the foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
