Dr. Vikhe Patil Memorial School was founded in the year 1989 by Dr. Ashok Vikhe Patil, in memory of his grandfather, “Padma Shri Awardee”, Dr. Vitthalrao Vikhe Patil. The humble beginnings of the school can be traced back to the enrolment of a modest number of 25 students, in a small basement of a building in Karvenagar. The school was led by the Founder Principal Mrs Sheetal Vasant Garud. In the year 1991 the school shifted to Gokhalenagar with the strength of the school having dwindled to a mere 17 students. From 1991 to 2000, Mrs. Nalini Sengupta played a considerable role in the development of the school. To begin with there were classes up to Std 4 which gradually expanded to Std 10. It was a challenge at that time to get children enrolled in VPMS. The staff members had to go to the nearby areas, convincing people to send their children to this school. After Mrs. Nalini Sengupta left in the year 2000, Mrs. Smita Sawant took over the reins briefly for a couple of years between 2000 and 2002. She attempted to streamline the systematic working of the school.
