Former CM's son, daughter-in-law to run Vashi school
Before relinquishing his post as Maharashtra Chief Minister, Vilasrao Deshmukh did all he could for his family members. He gifted a school to his son, not to study but to run it. The Marathwada strongman will inaugurate Goldcrest High, an ICSE school in sector 29, Vashi later this year. The school will be run under the aegis of the Manjara Charitable Trust.
While Deshmukh is the founder of the school, his son Amit serves as the executive trustee, brother Dilip serves as President and daughter-in-law Aditi is the managing trustee.
Even before the school building is ready, Goldcrest High has already announced admissions for pre-primary and primary school (up to class IV). Work on laying the foundation of the building is on in full

swing on the prime plot adjacent to Haveli. The authorities, however, hope to complete one part of the building by March this year. When contacted, principal Subhendu Sarkar affirmed, "When we have started admitting students, it just goes to show that we are confident our building will be ready by then. As of now, we are admitting students up to class IV."
The school is also offering world-class facilities. The school personnel confirmed that the school will impart training in creative arts, languages, public speaking, yoga, sports and other subjects. The school brochure mentions facilities like playground, gymnasium, computer laboratories, science laboratories, a swimming pool, auditorium, cafeteria and so on when none of these facilities exist at the moment. Besides, the school authorities are also promising student exchange and community service programmes.
Mumbai-based JBCN Education Pvt Ltd has joined hands with the school management to provide quality education. Their pre-school brand Children's Nook and high school brand Spring Field International (SFI) will help create future leaders.
Over the past 20 years, the trust has set up educational institutes in various fields. The trust is also building an international school offering IGCSE and IB curriculum at Versova and a residential school in Deshmukh's home district Latur.
Social Welfare Officer R R Dixit from CIDCO confirmed that the plot had been allotted to the trust few years back. "The plot was allotted many years back but they started work only now," she said.
