THE PAST IS THE FOUNDATION OF THE FUTURE
Modern technology prides itself on its numerous advancements. But we shouldn’t forget that all of what we see today has been built on a strong foundation set down by those before us.
In a time where most see heritage and culture as relics of the past, and as separate from us, we are putting in efforts to make it relevant. By reviving, sustaining and creating opportunities for people to connect and appreciate heritage and culture and its significance in their lives.
With this in mind, and appreciative of our own values and ethics, we put a lot of emphasis on preserving, propagating and celebrating culture and heritage. Not just local culture and heritage, but also respecting the same around the world.
The best place to do this is to begin in your own backyard. We have first put these beliefs to work in our organisation and in our own institution – Mukul Madhav Vidyalaya. Seeing the resounding results here, we have then set about to take this mission to the world. Reaching out to include other schools and institutions.
Our mission is further supported through collaborations with various organisations. We have undertaken several projects to safeguard invaluable assets and support struggling artists. Our initiatives include promoting traditional arts and handicrafts, organising and celebrating various cultural music festivals and setting up public libraries. We are also helping to digitise rare Marathi manuscripts.
Through our efforts, we strive to safeguard and promote our cultural heritage, and keep our roots alive for future generations.

Language Conservation
We believe that language is integral to our cultural identity and it is our responsibility to preserve the diverse dialects spoken in our country. We encourage students at the schools we support to appreciate and study linguistics. Additionally, we support cultural organisations that promote and sustain art, culture and heritage.
Numismatics
We believe in promoting unique subjects that not only preserve our culture but also offer fascinating career options for young people. By supporting Numismatics, we aim to expand world views while fostering a deeper appreciation of our indigenous cultures.
Music
We inculcate a love for Hindustani classical music in the students of Mukul Madhav Vidyalaya with training and opportunities to perform. We also organise musical events for senior citizens at local old age homes. To conserve our musical heritage, we support organisations with the restoration of musical instruments and infrastructure, and offer livelihood support to musicians.
Cultural Programmes
We endeavour to promote cultural diversity and religious tolerance in society, beginning with the youth. So we support events that promote our rich cultural heritage, be it folk art, local theatre or a festive celebration.
