About the School
The Primitive Tribe Boys’ and Girls’ Residential School is run by the ABM Samaj Prabodhan Sanstha Trust, which also runs the acclaimed Bharatratna Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Tribal Residential School in Shirole. Both schools were founded and are run by Mr. Sitaram Gaikwad, a prominent educationist and social reformer in the Thane district. This is a government-aided residential school, which runs exclusively for the benefit of the primitive tribe community in Thane district. The school currently hosts more than 300 students up to standard 10. Education is offered free of cost to all students, as the students come from low-income communities and cannot afford to pay school fees.
