Vidya Prasarak Mandal, Thane (VPM) was
established in 1935 to take up the national and humanitarian
cause of meeting the urge of young and old, unprivileged to have
access to primary and secondary education. VPM as on today is a
pioneer educational institute in Thane, enthusiastically and
zealously catering to the basic needs of education to nearly
14,000 students everyday, across faculties in Arts, Commerce,
Science, Law, Polytechnic and Management Studies.
With the vision of expanding it's horizons, VPM (Thane) has
established London Academy for Education & Research in order
to emerge as a dynamic and responsive global organisation. It
has also entered into collaborative agreements with Northern
College, Ontario, Canada for Advanced Engineering Diploma
Courses and with Skovde University, Sweden for Postgraduate
degree programs in Medical Biotechnology, Physiology and
Molecular Biology.
It is observed that even professionals working in various
industries need mentoring and support for making them more
proficient in their work and free from any kind of fear.
Confidence and courage building exercises for students will be
devised. It is a continuous effort to keep on improving these
exercises and procedures for the benefit of all. The Center for
Career and Skill Development plays an active role in the
development of soft skills like Personality Development,
Communication skills, Voice Culture & Speaking Skills
programme that will help the students bring about an all round
improvement. We even plan to bringing about a positive change in
the education system through a qualitative improvement of
teaching and training methods.
