Shri Amrish Patel President and Trustee, SVKM 2 Shri Vile Parle Kelavani Mandal (SVKM) Shri Vile Parle Kelavani Mandal is a Public Charitable Trust registered under the Society's Registration Act and Bombay Public Trust Act. The SVKM has always been committed to the cause of providing high quality education at various levels. From its humble beginnings in 1934, when it took over the Rashtriya Shala, a school established in 1921 in the wake of the National Movement, the Mandal today has grown into a big educational trust imparting high-level education to more than 40,000 students. The ethos of the Mandal, which is marked by patriotic fervor, selfless service and the spirit of indigenous enterprise, has its genesis in the days of India's struggle for freedom. These values permeate all the institutions set up by the Mandal and are the guiding principles for all of them. Over the past 80 years, the Mandal has developed a large educational complex in Vile Parle. All SVKM institutes have state of the art facilities and infrastructure in keeping with the strong vision and passion of the Mandal to enhance the quality of the modern education system. With its roots in the Swadeshi Movement, the Mandal is now an ever growing trust which promotes excellence in education. It also emphasizes on high values, professionalism, social sensitivity and dynamic entrepreneurship. Through all this it encourages global thinking without diminishing the importance of national interests. 3 SHRI VILE PARLE KELAVANI MANDAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 2013-2014 OFFICE BEARERS President & Trustee Shri Amrish R.
