GENESIS OF EVOLUTION
- The year 1942 is a landmark, beginning of a new era in the history of Muslim Education in Baroda.
- In the year 1936 an organization with the name of “Lok-Upkarak Mandal” was created to propagate the cause of education.
- The progress from 1936 to 1942 was negligible as “Lok-Upkarak Mandal” was dormant
- Janab Rasoolkhan Pathan Saheb & Janab Azeem Tyabji Saheb took the reins of the new organization. Both were great visionaries. They established “The Baroda State Muslim Education Society High School” which started functioning from 1st December 1942 at Ambegaonkar’s wada in Raopura, Baroda
- Both Janab Rasoolkhan Saheb & Janab Tyabji Saheb wanted to build a citadel of learning with a motto that an enlightened Muslim is a source of infinite strength.
- Therefore to make Muslim community self – reliant and competitive, it was felt necessary to empower them with high quality education.
- Janab Rasoolkhan Pathan Saheb donated his entire property to Muslim Education Society (MES) & Janab Tyabji Saheb donated more then 60 years of his selfless services to MES. He was the President of the Society for more than 50 years of his life and left for his heavenly abode in 2004. During his tenure, the Society flourished and developed into a citadel of learning.
- Both acted in a manner befitting an epitome. They had ebullience, excellence, passion, perseverance, tenacity and commitment to a cause of Muslim education in Baroda.
- As a result, we have Four Kinder Garten Schools, Four Primary, Four Secondary & Three Higher Secondary Schools as well as two English Medium Primary Schools and a Technical Education Institute with the Strength of around 6000 Students. Out of three High Schools and Higher Secondary Schools, one of them in exclusively for girls.
