ABOUT US

Nutan Marathi Vidyalaya(NMV) was a highly acclaimed school in the Mumbai Region before Maharashtra was declared an Independent State. Late Shri Shankarrao Patankar Sir, a geography teacher from NMV handpicked a few students and imbibed into them the love and intricacies of Kho-Kho. His love and dedication for the game made him a face to reckon with in the Kho-Kho arena. He took immense efforts in building his team. Late Shri. Shankarrao Patankar Sir’s teams for Kho-Kho and “Atyapatya” were largely responsible for NMV becoming General Champions in inter school events and tournaments.

Late Shri. Shankarrao Patankar used to be regularly present supervising everything from watering the ground, marking the ground, exercises and diet of players. Late Shri. Shankarrao Patankar carried out his duties effectively and efficiently for a decade and then handed over the reins to an ever smiling and great personality Late. Shri Modak Sir. Subsequently the reins were passed to Shri. Suresh Dinkar and then Shri. Arvind Patwardhan.

NMS, not only sets an example on the field but also in its working. NMS is proud to abide by all legal rules and formalities, a high level of social responsibility and transperancy in all legal and financial transactions. Though the club was started to increase the popularity of Kho-Kho it also brought with it a lot of legal formalities and paperwork. The Club was registered under Society Registration Act, 1860 on 10th June 1968 and on 9th July, 1968 under the Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950. The Registration was later obtained as per Income Tax Act, 1961.

The club also obtained the 80 G exemption certificate for donation. The former players are themselves the office bearers who have dedicated their time to the game. The office bearers and players of NMS are always striving to propagate and promote the game of Kho-Kho.
