Shri Vile Parle Kelavani Mandal is a Public Charitable Trust registered under the Society's Registration Act and Bombay Public Trust Act. 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 complex imparting high-level education to more than 35,000 students.
The ethos of the Mandal is marked by patriotic fervor, selfless service, and a spirit of indigenous enterprise. These values permeate all the institutions set up by the Mandal and are the guiding principles for all of them.
After beginning its journey in the early 1930s, SVKM has blossomed into an educational colossus that has attained national recognition in multiple streams of higher education. With a strong guiding philosophy of providing education to all levels of the student community, SVKM has mastered the art of being able to transform itself into a close-knit family while helping its students achieve all-round development and success.
Over the past 80 years, the Mandal has developed a large educational complex in Vile Parle, Mumbai, and has spread its wings to metro cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Ahmedabad, and Navi Mumbai. SVKM today is proud of some of the finest educational institutes in the country like NMIMS Deemed University, N.M. College of Commerce and Economics, Mithibai College, D.J. Sanghvi College of Engineering, and Bhagubhai Mafatlal Polytechnic — to name a few.
From its beginnings in the Swadeshi Movement, the Mandal has grown into an educational foundation promoting global thinking consistent with national interest — nurturing values, professionalism, social sensitivity, and dynamic entrepreneurship.
“At SVKM, our unwavering mission is to provide students with world class education rooted in values, innovation and excellence. Since its inception, SVKM has been driven by the vision of nurturing individuals who embody the highest standards of integrity, while empowering them to aspire towards greater achievements.”

Through an ideal blend of academics, extracurricular activities, cultural engagements and sports; we aim to make learning an enriching and joyful experience. Our focus is on strengthening the physical, intellectual, emotional, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of every student, preparing them to confidently face the challenges of real life.
Our greatest strength lies in our dedicated faculty and staff, who consistently mentor, guide, and support students with passion and commitment.
