Twenty-five years of shaping head, hands and heart
A multicultural institution that fosters a strong family atmosphere and lifelong friendships beyond its walls.
A Catholic public trust, built on service
Mother Velankani Education Trust, Nallasopara, was established in 2000 by founder member Mrs. Asha Mathew D'Souza and is registered as a Public Trust under the Maharashtra Public Trusts Act, 1950.
It enjoys a fine reputation not just for academic excellence but for its emphasis on personal development in sports, culture, philanthropy and ethics. Computer education begins in pre-primary, and the institutions are proud of their discipline.
We believe each student is a unique individual with equal potential to contribute positively to society — and we provide the direction, counsel and support each one needs to reach their full potential.
