Message from Principal
Welcome to Gandharva Mahavidyalaya Pune, an institution with a proud legacy that was founded in 1932 by Pt. Vinayakrao Patwardhan under the guidance of the revered Pt. Vishnu Digambar Paluskar. As the Principal, I take great pride in leading a center of excellence that has continually shaped and supported generations of artists, preserving the traditions of Indian classical music and dance.
At GMV Pune, our pedagogical approach goes beyond academic learning. We blend traditional methods with practical training techniques, providing our students with a holistic education. From hands-on performances that help overcome stage fright and offer students the chance to showcase their talents, to consistent assessments that ensure constant growth, we equip our students with the skills to thrive in their chosen art forms.
Our alumni’s success stories speak volumes about the caliber of education at Gandharva Mahavidyalaya. Many of our former students
have gone on to become prominent performers, educators, and cultural ambassadors in India and abroad. Their accomplishments stand as a testament to the dedication and mentorship they received here, and they inspire future generations to reach new heights.
As an institution, we take immense pride in our involvement with the community. Gandharva Mahavidyalaya is a hub for cultural exchange and engagement. We host a wide range of events – concerts by eminent artists and fundraising events. These events are not just limited to students; they are open to all, fostering a sense of inclusivity and ensuring that the rich tradition of Indian classical arts is accessible to everyone.
At GMV Pune, we believe in supporting every student. Through our Gurukul program, which offers hostels and scholarships for students from rural backgrounds, we ensure that no one is left behind due to circumstances. We are committed to providing a platform for every student to excel, and we encourage all our students to contribute to and benefit from the vibrant musical community that GMV Pune represents.
