His dream has turned into a reality today due to his hard work and dedication. He started with just 5 students in his first and very small school in Bhosari, on 15th August 1982. The school has today evolved into one of the best schools in Pune. Over the years, the number of students has also grown to over 15,000 in the Priyadarshani Group of Schools and Colleges. The institution today has a group of Schools and Colleges in 4 different locations that continue to grow at rapid pace.

The winners are honored for their spirit, for their nerve to soldier on despite odds, for making their dreams real, for their commitment to the society. To win an Indian Achievers Award, size does not matter; spunk does.
