Students receive valuable inputs in school which mold their intelligence, character, discipline . . These inputs make great foundation to make them successful in life & their chosen career. Many are moved to give back something to their Alma Mater in gratitude.

One such story is of the two Kothari brothers - Rajendra (batch of 1973) & Ashok (batch of 1975), who coordinated with the Principal & decided to sponsor the project of refurbishing the Secondary Computer Lab. So they also helped supervise vendors to make new furniture, wood panelling, concealed wiring and providing of 60 latest LENOVO computers for the Lab.

They dedicated this to their late father - Mr.Khupchand Kothari who was also a Vincentian.

The inauguration took place on 2nd Aug 2023 with Rajendra, Ashok with their family members, in the presence of the Pune Province Jesuit Provincial (Fr.Agnelo Mascarenhas), Jesuit Superior (Fr.Francis D'Souza), Principal (Fr.Francis Patekar), Vice Principal (Fr.Raja) & Fr.Valente Fernandes.

1973 batchmates of Rajendra as well as 1975 batchmates of Ashok attended along with some other Vincentisns.

Rajendra encouraged batchmates from the 1973 & 1975 batches to plan & coordinate the raising of funds over the next 3 years to replace these very computers, when they become obselete with newer developed technology at that time.

Fr.Patekar mentioned that what the Kothari brothers have done, epitomises the Jesuit Motto - "To Give & Not To Count The Cost !"
