About US
Sindhu Education Society’s glorious journey from humble
beginnings to a premier educational institution in north Nagpur.Established on 1st July 1952, Sindhu Education Society was the brainchild of a colossal visionary and an ideal educationist. Shri K.C. Bajaj and his three brothers came to India from Pakistan at the time of partition.
What began as a small institute with just two rooms, a handful of students, and K.C. Bajaj and his brothers as teachers,
administrators, and everything else in Maskasath has now grown into a sprawling campus with a serene ambience for learning in Jaripatka. Over the years, it has flourished into several institutions under its wing, including Mahatma Gandhi Centennial Sindhu Kindergarten School, providing a strong foundation for young learners, and contributing to its rich educational legacy.
