About the School

In June 1971, four young professionals – Adv. Hirba M. Naik Gaunekar, C.A. Ganesh M. Daivajna, C.A. Uttam N. Bene, C.A. Sheela N. Borkar – met to share their concerns about the yawning gap between the need and availability of higher education opportunities for students of South Goa.

The mismatch was most pronounced in the area of Commerce education. Students who could afford it, travelled to cities like Mumbai, Pune, Belgaum or Panaji to get their degrees. Other less fortunate youngsters either made do with the Science/Arts degree or did not pursue a higher education. Thus, they decided to establish a Commerce College.

Encouraged and supported by Shri D. B. Wagh, Director of the Centre for Post-Graduate Instruction and Research of Bombay University in Goa, they set up Vidya Vikas Mandal, a charitable society, devoted to the cause of education.

With a team of talented, caring and strong leaders, Vidya Vikas Academy has been fulfilling its mission of providing collective and inclusive growth to its learners from K – 12. It has undoubtedly been the foremost fountain of knowledge to students as they are exposed to valuable life skills and lasting relationships.Beyond teaching academics, the school has focused on enriching the lives of students in innumerable ways. As the process of a child’s development is rich and complex, a supportive environment and a sense of compassion for others is fostered in the school. Importance of imagination is stressed upon and students are prepared to face the competitive world.

We envision an institution of excellence that aims to create responsible, patriotic and holistic individuals who will participate and contribute to the global society by being deeply rooted in their culture and values.
