“Founded on faith, dedication, and the noble mission of spreading knowledge such was the beginning of an everlasting journey”
When four noble hearts came together with one purpose — to educate and enlighten — they planted the seed that blossomed into T & TV Sarvajanik High School, a garden of knowledge for generations.
On 7th June 1888, Shri Jaykishandas Ahluwalia, Shri Chunilal Ghelabhai Shah, Shri Dahyabhai Bardolia and Shri Bhaidas Ichharam Reshamwala established a school opposite to government school no - 6 in Gopipura. They started the school in the name of ‘The English School ‘with only 11 students which was popularly known as ‘Dhingli School’. In spite of adverse and odd situations, the aforesaid four great education lovers with their personal debts continued to run the school.
After 18 years of establishment of the school the Department of the Education decide to give Rs. 1500/- as government grant to the school, now the name of the school was changed to ‘The Sarvajanik School’.
It is interesting to note that Shah's wish was soon fulfilled, when largely owing to his own effort the Sarvajanik Education Society, as we shall see secured over Rs. 2, 26,000 from the Tapidas and Tulsidas Varajdas Trust Fund and the school was named the Tapidas and Tulsidas Varajdas Sarvajanik High School.
A well-known name in the field of education, T. &T.V. Sarvajanik High School, Nanpura, Surat was established in June 1888. Our Semi-Government Granted School, managed by well-known education trust of Surat city “Sarvajanik Education Society”, conducted 9 schools and 14 colleges.
The names of the two brothers Sheths Tapidas and Tulsidas have been naturally very familiar in the little world of the Sarvajanik Education Society, as it was that princely donation of Rs. 2, 26,453 received in their names, that gave a new life to the Sarvajanik High school and permitted the Society to direct its energies towards the expansion of other institutions for the fulfillment of its ideals.
The Sarvajanik Education Society was fortunate enough to receive this benefit, and a sum of Rs. 2, 26,453 was donated to its Sarvajanik High School. The school was thereafter renamed Tapidas & Tulsidas Vrajdas Sarvajanik High School.
The School celebrated Diamond Jubilee in the year 1948 and School’s old building was given magnificent and splendid appearance with an impressive main entrance which was later known as “Dakshina Bhavan” with all financial help of X-students’ of the School with all other primary facilities and enormous school ground which increased the school’s pride & reputation. Later Sarvajanik Education Society constructed a big hall in the memory of Shri Tribhuvandas Malvi known as “Malvi Hall “with the clock tower. Later in 2025, donation was given by Smt. Ushaben Jayvadanbhai Bodawala for the renovation of Malvi Hall and renamed as Ushaben Jayvadan Bodawala Malvi Hall. Seth Shri Gangaram Bhartiya gave donation for constructing a block consisting of six classrooms in memory his nephew Shri Natvarlal Bhartiya, known as “Bhartiya Block”.
For School’s continuous and complete progress as well as bright growth of the school the public society built the new building on the land donated. T. & T.V. Sarvajanik High School stands sturdy to educate Surat city’s children with lots of hard work and struggle with well qualified Principal’s, Supervisor's, Teacher’s and student’s working shoulder to shoulder in all educational and co-curricular activities, sports, inter and intra school competitions and for all round development of each student.
