As a nation, we have always upheld traditional wisdom while embracing emerging new radical ideas. At Udayachal, we have the advantage of a rich cultural heritage, and several endearing and empowering stories from over the years. Here we recount one of our favourites, the story of how we started.

15th August 1955 – The birth of Udayachal, an institution which embodies the vision of our forefathers.

On his routine visits to the Company, Pirojsha Godrej was disturbed by the plight of children who, having nothing constructive to do, were whiling away their time on the streets. Being a man of vision and enterprise, Pirojsha Godrej knew that education was the only way to change the condition of these children and contribute to the development of the nation. He immediately decided to provide his workers and their families the best of facilities. This endeavour led to the birth of Udayachal schools in the garden township of Pirojshanagar.
