History (Brief History and Milestones of the School)
Nirmalmata Primary School, Shelti, has been a cornerstone of elementary education in the Shelti village of Dadra and Nagar Haveli for decades, fostering young minds and contributing to the community’s progress. Our journey began in 1962, a pivotal year that marked the establishment of our institution with a vision to provide accessible and quality education to the children of the region.
From its inception, Nirmalmata Primary School has been managed privately, with crucial aid that has allowed us to sustain and grow. Our commitment has always been to serve the rural community, providing a nurturing environment where children from diverse backgrounds can learn and thrive.
Over the years, the school has consistently offered instruction in Marathi, deeply rooted in the local culture and ensuring that children can learn in their mother tongue. We cater to students from KG to Grade 4, and proudly include an attached pre-primary section, laying a strong foundation for early childhood learning.
While specific details about the founding individuals or initial struggles may not be widely documented, the spirit of those who envisioned and established this school continues to resonate. Their dedication to education in a then-developing region laid the groundwork for countless students to gain literacy and knowledge, empowering them for a brighter future.
Nirmalmata Primary School has evolved with the times, continually striving to enhance its infrastructure and educational practices. We have grown from humble beginnings to a school equipped with dedicated classrooms, a functional library, and essential amenities that support a conducive learning environment.
As we look back at our rich history, we celebrate the thousands of students who have passed through our doors, the dedicated teachers who have shaped their lives, and the community that has consistently supported our mission. Nirmalmata Primary School, Shelti, remains committed to its founding principles, continuing to be a beacon of learning and a source of pride for Shelti and the surrounding areas.
