Smt. Shalini L. Barve

Founder & Chairperson

Smt. Shalini L. Barve was deeply moved by her personal experience of sending her son away for education. She resolved to build a high-standard institution right in Kandri so children would never need to leave home.

As the school enters its third year, her unwavering zeal continues to drive its progress. VGPS has grown into a vibrant community of learners under her vision.

"Every child in Kandri deserves world-class education without leaving home."

Shri Liladhar G. Barve

Co-Founder & Chairman

Shri Liladhar G. Barve grew up in Kandri and developed a deep understanding of challenges families face. Rather than establishing a school in Nagpur city, he chose to invest in his hometown.

In collaboration with his wife Shalini, he founded VGPS to offer holistic education and foster growth in the community he cherishes.

"Building VGPS is our heartfelt contribution to the community we love."
