• Gud Afternoon Ma'am Myself Mrs.Monica Puri Parent of Madanlal n Mehek Puri. It really feels so good devotional and refreshing by watching the videos on our class grp. This is the good will of our school that each and every festival is celebrated with so joy and happiness and dedication.Every student gets involved and participate with a great energy and interest. Celebrating festivals in school is a lifetime knowledge and good memories for students in their childhood gallery for future. Meal served according to the festivals gives a feeling of home. students come back with the happy smiling faces from school is really a great deal.☺️ Sending review for each and every activity its difficult but since 9 years we had a good and positive result from Vikhe Patil School Staff and specially a good co-operation from you ma'am. It just feels like a family bonding with the school. Words are many to write but just will say that Our School is Florishing under excellent leadership n Guidance of our Respected Principal Ma'am🙏🏻. Hope this surrounding continuous and remains the same always with postive vibes. Last but not the least i always pray and wish my children come out with flying colors and bring up the name of Vikhe Patil School n become a well deciplined n mannered citizen.

  • "Respected Principal Ma’am (DVVP'S EMS), Today’s Har Ghar Tiranga rally and the Operation Sindoor outreach programme were truly inspiring and well-organised. It was heartwarming to see the active participation of every student and mentor, and the patriotic spirit was evident throughout. The opportunity for students to interact with army officers and express gratitude through their letters was a memorable and meaningful experience that will surely instill respect for our soldiers and our nation. Thank you to you and the entire school team for creating such impactful experiences for our children. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳 [AKANKSHA PARAG PARAKH] Parent of [PREKSHA PARAG PARAKH,Class 1stA]

    Dear Principal ma'am I am Pratik Shelke Daughter of Arvi Pratik Shelke from 2nd A Recently I took admission for my daughter. The school staff is very well trained ,help and guided us for admission process. After school started My daughter started to go to school after 2 to 3 days she was little low as she was new to school. She started saying " I don't want to go to school" We tried to convince her but she was not listening. We took her to school any how but as soon as she reached the school she started saying I don't want to go to school. She was crying, every teacher was convincing her to come with them. As soon as Principal ma'am heard the crying noise of my daughter she came out and took my daughter in her cabin. She treated her like a child. She very well guided my daughter to come to school and my daughter was comfortable with her. 2 to 3 days my daughter directly use to go to principal ma'am cabin she doesn't used to scold. She used to say good things about school and later on she was convinced to sit in her class. Principal ma'am used to call even in holiday how is my daughter filling. Principal ma'am treated as a daughter and really she guided very well. I am really happy to have my daughter in vikhe patil English medium school. Really the best experience I have got. I am now totally tension free for daughter in the school. The teacher and all the staff members of the school are well trained and treat everyone equally. Regards Pratik Shelke
    Thanks & Regards,

    • " Hello everyone,I am Mr. Kuldeep Chaudhary, father of Abharika Chaudhary (one of the students in UKG) Actually as a concerned parent, today I had a visit to the school campus so as to know the ground level scenario regarding how things are going to be for our children considering their academical, physical & mental growth. Obviously we all are aware about the strict regulations given by the government bodies to be followed as a protocol during this pandemic, but still the proper academical growth of our children should be least compromised I believe. That's why I thought of going to the school and clearing my worries as such. No doubt I was afraid if I could find someone to meet. But certainly I was really happy & amazed to see all the staff, the teachers, administrators as well as all the cleaners & bus drivers present on duty (even when the school has waived off the school bus fee) I found a renovated school with all the safety measures considered such as for example all the walls are now OIL PAINTED which makes those extremely simple & easy to sanitize & wash on daily basis, suddenly I realized that if somehow anytime tomorrow we get a surprise news of everything getting back to normal, I am ONE HUNDRED % sure that this school is absolutely ready to start the sessions right from tomorrow itself. So many things are achieved by the fees I paid for my child's education. It's Abharika's school after all. After the meeting with the Principal Mrs. Namrita Ohri, Pre-primary coordinator Ms. Asha Amar & having few discussions regarding my concerns, she gave me the complete idea of how things are going to be taken forward. I found it very exciting personally. She herself will let us all know about those plans soon. I thought of sharing my experience & views with you all."
      Thanks & Regards,
      Kuldeep

    
    

    • " DVVPF’s English Medium School has consistently evolved with time. They go beyond mundane ways of teaching and have proactively engaged students in new ways of learning. This has encouraged children in the school to be more adaptive and responsive in changing times. The school administration is quite promising and believes in building character and inculcating ethics which to me is more important than a mark sheet."

    • " Hi,I am Dr.Mahesh Gavhane from rahuri father of Manasi and Mrunal respectively studying in class V and class VII.Honestly I was about to switch the school this year, but went and met Principal ma'am before taking a final call. She devoted almost 90 minutes to all my issues for which I was about to change the school and practically we had a round of school which changes are already implemented. I was very satisfied with it.
      Best part was when online school started and I was about to visit the school, the same morning my 10 year kid telling me on her own" Papa our school has upgraded a lot this year." I think this was the biggest compliment for the school and all staff.
      Thank you Principal Ma’am and all the staff working hard for students in these tough times. Keep up the good work."

      Words of Appreciation from Parents on Annual Program 2022-23:-

      
      

      • "It was one of the best evenings spent for an event. The twilight of dawn, the breeze of winter evening, UBa prideful Flag hosting in sky, a twinkling of the guiding star besides it, and performances of my daughter's school on the patriotic theme for their annual day. It was too poetic as if you're dreaming of it. The crowds cheering on every performance was adding a joyous moment. I didn't believe the little wonders, performing exactly as they were trained, Ditto as their teachers steps, believing their teachers. You can see very few programs that are arranged flawlessly. Every activity, right from planning of parking, sitting arrangements, handover of children to the parents, dinner, sound, light, the selection of performances, the well decorated and amazingly lit campus, welcoming parents with smiles and the guests all set to be high above excellency. Any big event management people wouldn't have done better than this. Thank you to all the teachers, non-teaching staff, Students, Student Council members. Special congratulations to Shital Ma'am and all the teachers in black coats ️. And the highest compliments to the captain of the ship once again. Every time you have proved Ma'am you're a boon to this school.
        

      
      

      • Good morning ma'am, Yesyerday I attended the annual function of Vikhe Patil School for the 7th time as due to Covid we missed it for last 2 years but honestly this was the best function that I attended from arrangment point of view. The school was glittering from the highway itself with the Indin Tricolor flying high ,it increased the curiosity to go in and the moment I entered the school premises and saw the stage and all i was like WOW.... Nice arrangements, no single minute was wasted ,all children were included given apt justice to their skills. Food was nice and nk chaos even for the dinner surprisingly inspite of such a big crowd. As a Leader ,many a times you have to take unpopular decisions but those decisions are for the betterment of the institute and the people and now we can see the changes in the students and the school due to visionary leadership of Mrs.Namrata ma'am . Thank you .
        Regards Dr.Mahesh Gavhane.

      
      

      • Excellent Annual day Event...superb presentation by all the staff members. Congratulations to you. It takes a lot to put everything together. The school looked so impressive...just wow!!
        

      
      

      • Gaurav Gatha Lovely Evening. Beautiful concept execution ..tremendous efforts behind it and its a memorable evening.
        

      
      

      • The farewell for them was like the biggest and most memorable festival in their life. The best feeling in anyone's life is when you experience tears and smiles together. A nicely decided attire, the girls in sarees, and boys in the blazers showcased them to become a future ready 😀. I hardly know any school presenting a memento for their students. This was seriously unexpected for them and for the parents too. I think, they'll carry this memento throughout their life. Rashi getting the 'Caring Student Award' suggests how well the teachers know each and every student. Seriously, the teachers were and will always be their part of life. Without them their journey won't have on this path. The wet eyes of their teachers while having lunch were cleary saying that they will miss these tiny tots who have been more than 10-12 years with them. They used to hold their fingers and now it's sad to see they are flying away. Last to say, thank you Ma'am for giving them a chance to enjoy the last day of their school in this grand wonderful farewell event. All menus for the lunch were of their liking. The noodles, gulab jamun, chole, bhature made them full. The awards, teachers setting the pet names for their students, and the 9th standard students performing to make them laugh and relax them was good thought Saying a bye for their seniors in this form is certainly a nicest idea. There is no single word or a phrase to express the gratitude to you, teachers, the school. We handed over a raw dough years before to you and you returned a well seasoned prestigious article to us. Many thanks to you all once again.
