When I founded St.Xavier's in Panchgani, which is known as the education hub of Maharashtra, I had a dream. That was to create transformative excellence in character and quality. I do think that many parents in India are obsessed with grades and admission to top professional colleges. But our experience tell that success and happiness comes only with character and hard work. I am really proud to say that Xavierites are proving time and again that we can change lives beyond imaginations. Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, who visited us in Panchgani in 2003 as the President of India continues to be my inspiration to strive to keep St.Xavier's at the top.
Sports and Physical Education play a major role in students' lives at St.Xavier's. We provide a professional touch that accentuates the value of extracurricular activities, and each student's participation is effectively encouraged. Students of St.Xavier's have achieved many laurels at state and national level competitions.

In 2004, I entered my residential school as a quiet, unsure student, overwhelmed by the transition. Initially, I struggled academically and hesitated in sports and extracurriculars, but the constant encouragement of my teachers and peers transformed me. Over time, I improved academically, excelled in sports with medals at various levels, and discovered hidden talents in performing arts and leadership roles. These experiences taught me resilience, teamwork, and creativity, shaping me into a confident, empowered individual. I am deeply grateful to my school community for being the foundation of my transformation and helping me realize my true potential.
