A Message from our President
"Service to education is service to the nation—and to the future of every child."
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Friends of Bardiya International School,
It is with profound pride and humility that I address you as the President and Co-founder of Bardiya International School & Junior College (CBSE). Our journey began with a purpose deeply rooted in my heart—the dream of my beloved father, Late Shantilalji Lakhichandji Bardiya, who envisioned a world where even the children of the most rural and humble households would have access to the best possible education.
In 2016, we took our first step toward turning that dream into a reality. We laid the foundation of a school not just as a building of classrooms, but as a temple of learning, service, values, and opportunity. We knew the road would not be easy. But we also knew the cause was greater than ourselves. Today, I can say with joy and gratitude that Bardiya International School stands tall as a beacon of hope, excellence, and transformation in the rural landscape of Bodwad Taluka.
Our school was founded not for commercial profit, but to serve society by empowering the children of farmers, labourers, and small-town families. I have always believed that education is the greatest equalizer, the strongest bridge between dreams and reality. Every child deserves not just to be taught, but to be inspired, mentored, and uplifted. It is this belief that fuels our mission each and every day.
We are proud to be the first CBSE-affiliated school in this region, a distinction that carries with it both honor and responsibility. Our team has worked with unwavering dedication to ensure that our students receive an education that is modern, yet rooted in values; global in outlook, yet deeply Indian in spirit. From academic achievements to personality development, from yoga and shloka chanting to science experiments and sports—we nurture the mind, body, and soul of every learner.
One of our proudest milestones was the 100% CBSE Class X result in our very first batch (2021-22). This achievement was not just a number—it was a symbol of what is possible when commitment, vision, and teamwork come together. It reflected the trust of parents, the hard work of students, and the tireless efforts of our teachers and staff.
At BIS, we strive to build not only scholars but good human beings. We teach our children to dream big, but also to stay humble. To aim high, but never forget their roots. To be successful, but also kind. We want our students to walk into the world not just with degrees, but with dignity and purpose.
As we continue this journey, I wish to thank every parent who has placed their trust in us. Your belief gives us strength. I also salute our dedicated faculty and staff who carry forward our vision with sincerity and devotion. And to all our dear students—I urge you to believe in yourselves. You are the future of this nation. With courage in your heart, wisdom in your mind, and values in your soul—you can change the world.
May the light of learning always guide your path.
With warm regards and blessings,
Mr. Arvind Shantilalji Bardiya
President & Co-founder
Bardiya International School, Bodwad
