The Dr. Pillai Global Academy is a well-planned initiative from the Mahatma Education Society, a trust committed to provide meaningful education with tangible results. It is the brainchild and the enterprise of Dr. K. M. Vasudevan Pillai, an educator with 40 years experience and a reputation that saw him establish over 48 institutions from schools and colleges, to teachers’ training institutes and colleges for Architecture, Engineering, Information Technology, Media and Management Studies.

True to his vision of developing local actions to create global options, Dr. Pillai has launched the Global Academy within the serene sequestered environment of Gorai, Borivali, an environment conducive to quiet study and application.

“The focus will be on mentoring,” says Dr. Pillai, “as opposed to book knowledge and cramming. We are seeking to unlock skills in the child and incite a natural curiosity that makes the pursuit of knowledge a matter of choice and not compulsion. Our whole system is engineered to take the stress out of education and to leave behind a well-informed, well-rounded youth, confident of himself and of the world he is about to step into”.
