About Somaiya Vidyavihar

Padma Bhushan Shri Karamshi Jethabhai Somaiya’s first initiative in education was the founding of a school in 1942 in rural Maharashtra, to provide quality holistic education. It was founded on the belief that education is an important pillar of nation-building with the power to change lives, and that it is the duty of the privileged to provide education to the needy. Shri K J Somaiya guided Somaiya Vidyavihar until 1999; his son Dr S K Somaiya was at the helm of affairs till 2010. Presently, Shri Samir Somaiya, a Cornell University and Harvard University alumnus, serves as the President.
