Maharashtra – January 8, 2026 : M. S. Pokar High School and Junior
College, Saphale, is redefining modern education with its experiential,
hands-on learning approach, nurturing not just academic excellence but
leadership, creativity, and social responsibility among students. Under the

in fostering holistic development for children.

practical learning experiences such as role plays, competitions, student-led
initiatives, public speaking platforms, and entrepreneurial projects. This
model equips students with essential life skills, including communication,
teamwork, problem-solving, and civic awareness, alongside academic achievement.
Sneha Virendra Surani, Principal of M. S.
Pokar High School, has played a pivotal role in transforming the institution’s
educational philosophy. With a unique background outside conventional teaching,
Surani combines academic rigorincluding a Doctorate, MBA, B.Com, B.Ed, and

initiatives in old-age homes. Social and cultural awareness is reinforced through
activities like Ashtami Kanya Poojan, tree plantations, cleanliness campaigns,
and charity drives. Festivals across religions are celebrated with inclusivity,
reinforcing unity and mutual respect.
Events
such as Annual Day, Sports Day, Parent-Student Sports meets, and Grandparents
Day involve parents, alumni, and the local community, offering students
platforms to showcase talent, build confidence, and foster a sense of ownership
in their school. Supported by a dedicated, regularly trained faculty, M. S.
Pokar High School ensures a nurturing environment where students feel safe,
heard, and inspired.
Building
on this legacy, M. S. Pokar is now expanding its footprint in early childhood
education with the launch of “KIDS”, a pioneering preschool in Palghar.
Offering Nursery, Junior K.G., and Senior K.G., KIDS combines health education,
young entrepreneurship skills, Olympiad-style learning, and a dedicated
indoor-outdoor playzone all under one roof.
The
preschool’s curriculum emphasizes health awareness, teaching children
hygiene, nutrition, exercise, and emotional well-being in a playful and
age-appropriate manner. “Young Entrepreneur Skills” modules cultivate
creativity, problem-solving, communication, and basic financial literacy
through stories, role play, and classroom projects. Olympiad-based activities
foster reasoning, structured thinking, and early confidence in academics from
ages 3–7.
Physical
development is integral to KIDS, with structured indoor and outdoor play
activities designed to enhance fitness, motor skills, and overall well-being.
By offering these facilities together in one campus, KIDS aims to provide a
comprehensive early education experience without requiring multiple external
classes.
Affordability
remains a cornerstone of this initiative, ensuring advanced early education is
accessible to middle and lower-middle-income families in Palghar. Surani’s
vision is to create a nurturing, value-based environment that prepares children
not just for Grade 1 but for a confident, healthy, and future-ready life.
With the
launch of KIDS and the continued innovation at M. S. Pokar High School, the
institution reinforces its commitment to shaping confident leaders, creative
thinkers, and compassionate citizens prepared to thrive in the 21st century.
