Podar Education was started and operates with the prime purpose of building young minds to spearhead a dynamic future globally. Podar is a growing network that has a wide spectrum of brands including pre-primary options, primary, secondary schools, junior colleges, part-time courses and teacher training courses.
Headquartered in Mumbai, there are a host of Podar Schools all across India. Podar offers a wide choice of academic boards including International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE), International Baccalaureate (IB), Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE), Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and Secondary School Certificate (SSC).
Podar’s key strength emanates from its teaching team. The schools employ the best quality teachers, most of whom have years of experience and a commitment to quality education. National and international trainings are a regular feature to keep the staff abreast with the latest educational developments from around the world.
A focus on technology and innovative educational teaching methods has helped Podar establish a leading position among schools in India. In all Podar schools, education technology is given special attention and state-of-the-art facilities are available for all the students.
Podar also lays extensive emphasis on sports and extra-curricular activities. Specialized and experienced coaches are deployed in a wide
spectrum of sporting disciplines.
Founder’s Day celebrated on the 2nd of August marks a pivotal moment in the legacy of the Podar Group of schools which began in 1927. The
Podar Group of Schools was founded by the eminent philanthrope Seth Anandilal Podar, in collaboration with the father of our nation, Mahatma Gandhi.
As the very first President of the Anandilal Podar Trust, Mahatma Gandhi’s contribution to the Podar Education Group stands testimony to the fact that at Podar, traditional Indian values of honesty, integrity and service, combined with a zeal to touch new horizons, form the foundation stones upon which young minds are nurtured.
We continue to uphold Mahatma Gandhi’s teachings and philosophies with the same sincerity and dedication as we did at the inception of
Podar with the vision, and desire to uplift India. Being the only educational group in India that can claim such a strong heritage we are
the flag bearers of his vision, mission and principles in the education space.
At Podar, the initiative that started with a single school in a Pre Independent India, is today a multi-school, multi-city, multi-brand entity that is ambitiously executing a growth strategy at par with the current global standards. Podar today is a trusted name and an acknowledged leader in the collective effort to shape the future of our children, and for the nation.
We will forever be indebted to Seth Anadilal Podar for his selfless and tireless contribution to the field of nation building and education with a strong commitment to serving the nation with humility.
Message from Chairman’s Desk
Children may be 20% of the population, but they are 100% of the future.
Keeping this thought deep rooted in our minds, Podar strives to nurture
every child so that each child can harness their inherent potential and
spread their wings.
This century belongs to the youth. We at Podar believe in empowering
our youth brigade with the resources that will allow them to take life’s
most difficult challenges head-on and shine above the rest. At Podar, we
train young minds to think independently, nurture them to excel at what
they are best in.
The Podar Group of Schools started its first institution in 1927 with the
prime purpose of building young minds to spearhead a dynamic future
globally. We are committed to operate and manage schools that provide
quality education with a focus on development that is in sync with the
needs of the individual child.
Our enduring legacy is shaped by the ethics, values, and principles set
forth by the first President of Anandilal Podar Trust, Mohandas
Karamchand Gandhi. Only when one can preserve deep rooted values
along with the vision to stay up-to-date with this fast-paced world, can
we ensure a bright future.
We are committed to giving our children only the best and holistic
development, whether in academics or extra curriculars. Each student
studying in Podar is a shining star of our Podar family, and we inculcate
the philosophies and values that allow our stars to go out and change the world.
Mr. Raghav Podar
Chairman, Podar World School
