BKM School

In the year 1967, in Bopal village with a population of around 2000, there were no facilities for secondary education. In such a situation, the existing trustees had to face great difficulties to obtain secondary education. Thinking that such difficulties should not be faced by the sons and daughters of our village, and that the residents of the village should not remain deprived of secondary education, the noble idea of starting a secondary school in Bopal village came to my mind. At that time, with the help of the village elders and social workers, a school was started in Bopal village by bringing school and educational materials in a bullock cart from a village named Shilaj, spending only ₹3300, and thus education work was initiated.

Bopal Kelavani Mandal was established in reg no. E-1556. In the early years, the organisation faced severe financial difficulties. The school was run in the Gram Panchayat building and also in the building of a new primary school. However, these buildings were not suitable from a facilities point of view. Therefore, the villagers and those who had settled in Ahmedabad came together, and  the trust board decided to construct a new building for the organisation. After continuous efforts, by 2023 the school building now has more than 60 classrooms and includes modern facilities such as attractive play area for k.g students, modern laboratories, R.O plant, a library, audio-visual rooms, modern toilets, a spacious computer lab, and smart boards in every classroom. All this has been possible due to the pious administration of the trust.

The aim of the organisation is to provide quality education at an affordable fee to middle-class and poor students living in and around Bopal, and to expand educational services. For this purpose, the institution appoints well-qualified and trained teachers and takes care of their welfare. The institution is completely self-financed.

As of now in 2023, the organisation includes B.K.M.Balvibhag , B.K.M. Primary School, B.K.M. English School, M.A. Patel secondary & Higher Secondary School, with Gujarati and English medium, where more than 3000 students are studying.
