over by Virnagar Kelavani Mandal
in 1962, starting an additional
Class of Std. XI and the High
School was named "V. P.
High School - Virnagar" in
the memory of Late Shri
Virchandbhai Shah. The High
School was functioning on one
ground floor building only in
which 7 more Class Rooms were
constructed on 1st floor in 1992
and now no shortage of Class
Rooms is experienced. Computer

A
Boys' Hostel was started on a
small scale in June 1957.
Virnagar Kelavani Mandal took
over its resposibility from 1961
and a full fledged open Hostel
for Poor, needy students started
growing gradually. As there was
no other facility of High School
available in nearby vicinity,
about 200 students were taking
advantage of this Hostel.
Looking
to the increase in trend of
girls education and increasing
number of girl students from
surrounding areas, a separate
wing of Girls was also started
from 1996. The old Hostel
building was in dislapidated
condition and it was essential
to construct a new building with
all facilities. As a result of
Dr.Adhvaryujee's efforts and his
noble aim of selfless service,
many donors from India and
abroad donated humbly and his
dream for separate new buildings
of Hostels both for Boys and
Girls came true in 1996. At
present, 90 Boys and 70 Girls
students are staying in these
Hostel wings.
Similarly,
the charge of 'Shivananada
Balmandir' started in the year
of 1958 was taken over by
Virnagar Kelavani Mandal in
1961. Formerly it was working in
Panchayat owned building outside
the complex. In the year 1998. A
new building was constructed in
the Educational Complex of the
institution with modern
Montesory equipments and
facilities. At present about 125
infants are taking advantage of
this unique Balmandir and K.G.
