About TGPS
A gurukul spirit for a modern school
Takshashila Gurukul Public School is run by D.V. Patil Pratishthan in Shikrapur, Taluka Shirur, Pune. Its name points to Takshashila, one of the oldest seats of learning in India, and the school carries the same belief: learning should build character and give something back to society.
Our purpose
Education that serves society
We are a beacon of learning and growth for families across Shikrapur and the MIDC belt. Our classrooms are digital, our labs are hands-on and our campus is secure. We also take children out to plant trees, clean the village, lead rallies and see India's history for themselves.
Each child gets attention matched to their needs: remedial help for anyone falling behind, extra coaching for those aiming higher, and counselling for everyone. The school belongs to its community and works for it.
