RACHANA SCHOOL

About Institution

RACHANA’- the name itself has a special significance. Keeping up to its name RACHANA has always been growing, experimenting, trying to solve problems in different ways and hence is not shackled by fixed traditions and ideas.

Smt. Pannaben, a visionary par excellence, laid the foundations of Rachana School way back in 1963. Having operated from its original location

at Bombay Garage for nine years it moved to Shahibaug in the year 1972 where it majestically stands today. Thanks to the world renowned architect Shri Balkrishna Doshi for the unique design and the stately façade of the building that proudly claims to house about a 1000 odd students. In the year 1986 a new wing was added to Rachana School. This building designed by Shri Nimish Patel and Smt Parul Zaveri became a wonderful playhouse for the tiny-tots of the Kindergarten. A well equipped auditorium was added to our school building in the year 1993. Shri Bimal Patel, an acclaimed architect, helped add another wing.This was erected as a tribute to our Founder-Director Smt Pannaben and we proudly call it our ‘Resource Centre’. The Resource Centre with an auditorium at the ground level was inaugurated on 8th January,2007.
