Our Founders

Mahadevi Birla World Academy was established in 1959 by illustrious industrialist Late B K Birla in the name of his wife, Late Sarala Birla. He firmly believed that a nation could progress only when industrial and educational development complemented each other. For him, this meant assigning adequate importance to women­s education. His compelling vision led to the founding of MBWA.

This legacy is continued by Late B K Birla, Late Sarala Birla and Smt Jayashree Mohta, who continue to provide inspiration and support to the school.

Nurturing the flame

Mahadevi Birla World Academy imparts contemporary education for girls and boys. It encourages them to accept modern ideas while respecting universal traditional values.

It prepares them to meet the challenges of the changing world and shape them into confident and conscientious citizens.

Our Goals

• To create an environment conducive to the integrated development of mind, body and soul.
• To foster traditional Indian values, culture and spirituality while inculcating a global outlook.
• To provide conceptual mastery of the curriculum, imbibing creativity, imagination and analytical thinking.
• To inculcate social and community awareness so that students grow up to be compassionate, responsible and patriotic citizens.
• To encourage students to acquire self-knowledge and venture on the path of self-realisation.
• To help students acquire skills with life skill training to meet the challenges of the changing world.

The Global Approach

MBWA, the co-educational school aims to provide multi-dimensional education by striking a balance between curricular and co-curricular activities for the all round development of the individual. Rather than being solely academically oriented, MBWA not only focuses on instilling a sense of confidence and discipline but also helps each student to develop a distinctive personality.

Students have always displayed a comprehensive interest in sports, cultural activities and academics and have proudly represented their school on many occasions and won many accolades.

The education process is designed to ensure that students realise their potential and grow into well-rounded personalities. It is beyond the purview of classroom teaching to inculcate a self-belief and inspires them to participate in social activities. This hones them into compassionate and complete individuals, ready to face the world.
