Koyana Education Society, Taldeo

Western valley of Maharashtra is very remarkable landscape, from geographical pont of view among these valleys, Mahabaleshwar is the birth place of seven rivers among them koyana and major ones. Taldeo is the village situated on the top of the mountain in koyana river valley. In 1957 the lifeline of Maharashtra i.e. 'KOYANA DAM' was being started to construct by Government of India. Among these valleys many small villages are situated. People in these villages are very poor. Due to 'DAM CONSTRUCTION' so many villages were affected. rehabitation of many villages were taken place by the Government. But people from these villages didn't move anywhere. They placed themselves on the bank of back water of koyana dam.

Still Government provided all the basic facilities to the villages. The condition of the people in this remote ares is very worse, critical, poor. Most of the families were under below poverty line. One member from each family had to go to mumbai, pune and any other big city to serve his family. Agriculture was not enough support to run the family. Only one crop 'rice' is their yearly food.

about us

At that time some Government officers, social reformers, political leaders, teachers thought that only education could change the situation of the people. Education could change the people economically, educationslly, cultually. Education meant the secondary school education. Out of this need in 1964, KOyana Education Society was established and the society started New English School, at Taldeo in 1967.

The school was started with only 75 to 80 students. There was lack of aducational attitude. Higher poverty, no transportation, not any Government Grant, heavy rain fall up to 4 months, no electricity. In earlier times, students were not interested in school activities.

On the other side no qualified teachers were ready to stay at school.Students had to come to school on foot. So it was tough time for institution with all these adversities the president and all board of directors overcome with the situation. They explored all the ways to run the school. This task of the institution was noticed by many great men and helped the institution in many ways.

Today the institution has 8 branches and one extension school of Taldeo at Tapola, as well as five hostels.
