Established originally in 1919 under the visionary patronage of the Saraswati Vidyalaya Union Charitable Trust, our institution has consistently served as an academic cornerstone within central Pune. We focus comprehensively on co-educational development path structures ranging from kindergarten steps right up to Higher Secondary standard specialization tracks.
Our educational model ensures clear cognitive transformations. By aligning with updated curricula frameworks and encouraging practical engineering mindsets early on, our students routinely clear metrics across state board evaluations and competitive entrance milestones.

Early Glimpses
Founded in 1919, Saraswati Vidyalaya Union began as a small initiative by a group of dedicated Tamil women in Pune. Their vision was to provide free education to children of the South Indian community. Over the years, the institution grew, adding new classes, facilities, and streams to serve the broader community.
In 1969, the High School division was established, followed by the Junior College, offering Science and Commerce streams. Today, SV Union stands as a testament to the vision of its founders and the dedication of countless teachers, staff, and supporters.
