Mr. Pranay :  My grandfather and as a result my father is immensely attached to Indian culture and a firm believer of ‘ sarbangiya vikas’ or all round development of the student. They believed that only Vidya Bharati schools can provide adequate education along with all round development, thus they got me admitted to Parwati Prema Jagati Saraswati Vihar Senior Secondary School.

We give great importance to extracurricular activities and encourage our students to participate in different types of competitions. In fact our school ranked 1st (district level) in sports category.
