“Education for all!”
The inception of Kasturi Shikshan Sanstha (KSS) happened in 1997. It was the dream of Dr. Pandit Palande and Dr. Jayashree Palande to provide education to all - irrespective of age, caste, creed, gender, economic status, etc. to help transform the society by imparting holistic education which is the noblest way to do. Pratima Palande School (PPS) was started in 2003.At the initial stage the management provided free education, food, stationery, uniform and transport to all the students to motivate the parents to send students to school. It also chose to provide the best quality education and hence chose the ICSE board. It is the very first ICSE School in this vicinity within a perimeter of 40 kms. 07 batches of students have passed the Council exams with a 100% result, which is remarkable as these are first-generation learners, most of their parents being illiterate farmers.
Pratima Palande School (PPS) has a state-of-the-art infrastructure, qualified and experienced teachers imparting world class education through which is student-focused to enable students to conduct themselves and utilize knowledge and skills to achieve socio-economic and ethical transformation of the country and to face the global challenge in this competitive world.
We believe that education is not just a process of giving knowledge for a future job but a lifelong process which creates an understanding of moral and ethical values to guide one's life and make our students the future hope of the country. As the school marches ahead, it vows by its unwavering commitment to provide education to students from all sections of society regardless of race, caste, religion or economic condition.
During his schooling days our Founder Dr Pandit Palande walked almost 16 to 18 kms to attend school and college. He did not want the next generation students to go through similar harrowing years to complete their education. Hence, he decided to bring top class education to his taluka by establishing education institutes. Having worked in foreign universities, the fire to bring global education to the home town only burned brighter!At the onset, the Palande family prioritized investing into setting up PPS over meeting their personal comforts. With that began the ambitious journey of creating a world-class ICSE school in Shikrapur – our flagship school- PRATIMA PALANDE SCHOOL.
The CICSE board is a forward-thinking board that has devised a curriculum to empower its students to excel in all fields. It prepares your child to take on the challenges of the world and transforms its students to become global citizens.
Since the I.C.S.E syllabus lays great emphasis on application of what is taught rather than mere rote learning, it teaches them to critically analyze the text, and hence it provides them with a competitive edge over students from other boards appearing for competitive exams.
I.C.S.E syllabus is far more comprehensive and diverse than other boards; your child learns the skills of diligence, time management and focused study. The syllabus is especially designed to align with the needs of foreign universities which demand that the applicant displays a great work ethic.
Furthermore, the perfect balance of science and arts offered by I.C.S.E. ensures your child possesses just the right temperament for succeeding in any chosen field of study. The icing on the cake is that I.C.S.E. attaches great importance to language and literature. The students graduate with impeccable language skills that come handy along with the fact that it greatly increases the value and suitability of the student in job prospects.
