Welcome to Parle Tilak Vidyalaya Association
The local stalwarts from Vile Parle contributed generously, despite difficult times, to construct the school buildings. The student strength increased, and the management soon realized the need for facilities for higher education beyond the school level. This led to the establishment of Parle College of Science and Arts in 1959.
The management soon felt that a Science and Arts College was not enough. In order to meet the growing demand for Commerce, the Parle College of Commerce was started in 1960, which was later named “M. L. Dahanukar College of Commerce”. The Parle Tilak Vidyalaya Association also made its presence felt in the central suburbs when it started “Mulund College of Commerce” in 1970. Also in 1970, in the nearby suburb, Andheri, Parle Tilak Vidyalaya Association opened another Marathi Medium School named “Paranjape Vidyalaya”, comprising both Primary and Secondary School. Very soon, that school also became a force to reckon with, with students featuring regularly in the merit lists.
In 1982, the Parle Tilak Vidyalaya Association took two very important steps. Firstly, it introduced a much-needed Commerce Faculty in Parle College and, secondly, established Parle Tilak Vidyalaya (English Medium) Primary and Secondary School (SSC curriculum).
To cater to the ever-growing demand for English Medium Schools, PTVA’s English Medium School
was started in 2017 at its Marathi Medium School campus in Andheri.
Parle College was renamed “Sathaye College” in 1994.
In 2008, a new I.C.S.E. School was started in the English Medium School building. The school has now
been relocated to a separate building. The first batch passed the 10th standard in the academic year
2014–2015.
The Parle Tilak Vidyalaya Association also started a management institute known as PTVA’s Institute
of Management in 2008, which is affiliated with the University of Mumbai. This institute offers a 2- year degree course, MMS, and also conducts 3-year part-time Master’s programmes in Finance, Marketing, and HR.
The Association also runs a sports academy for the benefit of its students. Currently, it concentrates
on cricket and conducts coaching for school children. As a result of this professional coaching, the Association’s schools have performed exceptionally well in the Harris Shield and Giles Shield tournaments.
At present, Parle Tilak Vidyalaya Association, under its umbrella, is imparting quality education to
