OUR RICH HERITAGE

On 14 February 1902, a group of eminent citizens met in the hall of the Bombay Municipal Corporation to decide how to best utilise the Victoria Memorial Fund – an amount of ₹ 253,800, collected through public contributions – to perpetuate the memory of Queen Victoria, then Empress of India.

This was the birth of The Victoria Memorial School for the Blind.

The rich history of the school was carved by its first trustees – Sir Jamshedji Jeejeebhoy, Sir Bhalchandra Krishna Bhatavadekar, The Hon. Mr. S. Rebsch, Hon. Mr. Ibrahim Rahimtoola, Sir Sassoon Jacob David and has been nurtured over the years by honourable visionaries like Mr. K N Jussawalla, Mr. J.B. Petit, Mr. Vijay Merchant, Mr. R. P. Masani, Mr. Madhavjee D Thackersey and Sir Pherozeshah Mehta, to name a few.
