The society began its activities by running various
coaching, typing classes, book distribution and counseling of students.
Later it was instrumental in getting the SSC centre for Anjar town.
During those days the members of the society also had to arrange for
the boarding and lodging of the outstation SSC candidates.
In the year 1990 it established the first English
medium school at Anjar. This fulfilled a long-standing public desire
and today the same school (Smt. K. G. Manek English School)
has carved out a place of its own. The Society went on expanding its
activities and later founded a Gujarati medium primary school (Anjar
Vidyalaya, founded 1996), an English Medium High School (Shree
Uttam Secondary English School, founded in 1998), Gujarati
Medium High School (Tha, N.P.N High School, founded
2000) & English Medium Higher Secondary School (Southampton
Vedic Society Higher Secondary English School, founded 2004).
In the year 2005 a Gujarati Medium Higher Secondary School was established
(Anjar Uchchatar Madhyamik Vidyalaya).
The people of Anjar had been aspiring for a college for a pretty long
time and many organizations had tried to establish a college at Anjar.
Till now no one had been successful. The continuous efforts of Anjar
Education Society and the dedication of the trustees bore fruit and Smt Hiraben Bhanukant Palan College of Arts and Commerce was established in the year 2006 At present more than 3100
students study in the six schools and the college run by Anjar Education
Society.
In the earthquake of 2001, the society lost all
its infrastructural facilities. The event failed to demotivate the
members of the society. It first began to run the schools in tents
and later was offered rooms (prefabricated) by Bharatiya Jain Sanghathana,
Pune. The school was also one of the first schools of Kachchh to
begin classes’ on the first day of academic year 2001-2002
(the year of the earthquake). |

Today, the society has a 12 acres plot at Survey no. 156
, Meghpar Kumbhardi , Anjar and has set up an educational
campus there. More than a hundred teachers dedicate themselves to
the children in this campus everyday. In all these activities the
sole objective of the Society has been to reach out to the common
man. The fees structure of the Society will justify this. We solely
work on a not-for-profit basis. We still have great hopes and dreams.
Lets see what the future holds in store for us.
