Long, long, ago, in a kingdom called Bhavnagar, lived a queen with great foresight and vision. Maharani Nandkunverba Saheb, a strong and powerful partner to her husband Maharaja Bhav Sinhji, realised that the only way to empower women and ensure a progressive society is to educate the female population. Thus was laid the foundation for Shri Nandkunverba Kshatriya Kanya Vidyala in the year 1917.
One of the first in India to abolish the “Purdah System” and a pioneer in the emancipation of women, Maharani Nandkunverba Saheb left behind a rich legacy that our institution strives to live up to. We aim to instill in our girls a strong value system of culture and tradition, simultaneously arming them with all the skills required to live a happy, successful and fulfilling life, following their dreams and helping make the world a better place.
Knowledge and courage can surmount mountains, and the students of our school are moulded from childhood to become dynamic young ladies. Our institution takes on the responsibility of preparing them for life. While wisdom and a thirst for knowledge is imparted in the classroom, the sports field inculcates the philosophy of grace in victory and dignity in defeat, simultaneously ensuring that the girls are team players, fit, healthy and strong. Character building activities like social work camps (NSS) and field excursions are an integral part of student life here, as are discipline and duty honing (NCC) events. Dance, music, theatre and cultural festivities ensure that our girls have a happy, creative and spiritually sound childhood.
The Nandkunverba Kshatriya Kanya Vidyala Trustees and Staff follow the principle that education does not simply mean a degree, it is an eternal quest for learning and growth that becomes a part of the person and stays for life. Our students here are given strong roots and then finally, wings to fly beautifully
