Goa Vidyaprasarak Mandal (GVM) was originally named as Liga da Propaganda de Insrucao em Goa and was founded on the auspicious day of “Vijayadashmi” in the year 1911 A.D. (which was Monday, 2nd of October), by some great visionaries of those times, namely, Dr. Dada Vaidya, Shri Sitaram Kerkar and Shri Vinayak Sarjyotishi.
Goa was passing through a difficult historical period, as the entire region along with Daman & Diu was under the Portuguese rule. Fortunately, the establishment of Republic in Portugal in the year 1910 created a window of opportunity for the Goan community to establish their own institutes.
The first school of the Mandal was “Colêgio Almeida” popularly known as Almeide College. Subsequently, when Goa became independent in 1961, Goa Vidyaprasarak Mandal started a number of institutes and today GVM has more than 12000 students and 750 staff under its ever spreading Umbrella, providing educational facilities to
all sections of Goan population, right from pre-Primary to the Post-Graduate level.
