The Beginning……………

On 7th September 1959 the Somaiya Vidhyavihar was founded to achieve the educational

objectives of the Somaiya Trust. The principal objective is to provide Education that will

develop an integrated personality as expressed by the first President of Vidyavihar Trust Late

Justice N. H. Bhagwati. Over last five decades the Society has diversified into multi directions

of disciplines viz. Vidyavihar, Tantrvihar, Ayurvihar, Sanskritivihar. The campus is today

humming with nearly 27,000 students and over 1700 faculty members. The Somaiya Vidyavihar

60 acre campus abounds with schools and other institutions preparing future engineers,

professionals, technicians. Doctors, teachers, executive and so on.

This very area viz. Kirol Village has been transformed into a Centre of Learning, Viz.

‘Vidyavihar’. The very name was also appropriately given to the railway station by the

authorities in September 1961 after the emerging of this educational centre.

Behind all this shining development, has been the inspiration and the guiding spirit of Late

Suchisriman Karamshibhai J. Somaiya. He remained as active as ever in implementation of new

projects and institutions to provide both value based education as well as work/job oriented

training-for young men and women and succeeded in achieving this objectives. His appealing

message in line with karamayog from Shirmad Bhagvad Gita is as follows.

“Remember nothing was ever achieved without Hardwork. Be bold but be not bowled over. Let

Truth and Duty be your watchwords. Never despair in the face of set backs. Keep courage and

continue to work with fortitude. Have faith in yourselves and in the Almighty. Strive for your

Goals and the future is yours.”

This message describes the essential qualities to be developed by “ktaktaktakta----” for success

Four success “ktaktaktakta----” is first and “dovamadovamadovamadovama\” as the fifth as expressed in Bhagwad Gita.
