Vidyadan Trust
The House of Mewar has throughout history given a special emphasis to education.
Maharana Shambhu Singh built the first school for girls in Udaipur in 1866, and
during the reign of Maharana Bhupal Singh (1930-1955) more schools, including one
specifically for girls, were opened. Hence, continuing this tradition, an important
element of the Eternal Mewar charities is its focus on education at both the pedagogic
and adult literacy levels.
Education is a vital step towards the improvement and understanding of life both
for the individual and the community. The Vidyadan Trust, through the MMCF gives
support to individuals from primary school through to advanced studies and even
to the post-graduate level. This assistance can also extend to studies abroad and
to attending international conferences and symposia.
Educational institutions funded by the MMCF and its ancillary body, the Vidyadan
Trust include the Maharana
Mewar Public School situated within the The City Palace Complex and
the Maharana Mewar Vidya
Mandir near Amba Mataji Temple.
