Her world, as ours, was the staff and students in all our schools, and the desire to give the best education to them to make a difference to our world. As the Chairperson of our Managing Committee, there wasn't a meeting that we were not reminded of the fact, that any change we wanted to see in the students, and the school would have to be a reflection of what we believed in, and how we wanted it to be. Mrs. Bansal was an integral part of the team that set up the Pawar Public School in Kandivli, and the subsequent schools in Mumbai and Pune. She was our guide, philosopher and Go To person with all our queries, concerns, complaints and solutions. Her vast experience in the field of education and administration, ensured that the vision we had at PPCT would be fulfilled, and that quality and affordable education would be available to all who applied to our schools. Her demise has left a void that would be hard to fill. However, our greatest gift to her would be to enhance and build on the principles she laid down for the schools to follow. Given her vast experience in the education sector, these very practices, systems and procedures were implemented in a way that education would be taught differently by working within the broader framework laid down by the authorities – in short, “You must be the change you wish to see in this world”. We pay tribute to Mrs Kumud Bansal and to the legacy she has left behind. We will continue in the same spirit, determination and resolve as she displayed to us, to provide the best education to our students, and ensure the success in their endeavours. - Trustees and Managing Committee Pawar Public Charitable Trust focus inside...
