Padmashali Education Society
In order to support the community in the field of education, a separate educational institution called "The Padmashali Education Society" was established in the year 1975 and registered under The Mumbai Public Trusts Act 1950 and also registered under the Societies Act. We are slowly progressing in this field. And celebrated our Silver Jubilee on 30th December 2001.
At present we are only able to support the student community by awarding scholarships, due to the paucity of funds. We are looking forward to the day when we can SPONSOR every child who needs education or wants to go to school.
Because our motto is 'A LITERATE INDIA IS A STRONG INDIA'.
