"An embodiment of courage, sacrifice, and patience"
✦ This trust was founded in her honour — Mathura Pratishthan
"An embodiment of courage, sacrifice, and patience"
Born on 26 November 1923, Late Smt. Mathurabai lost her father in childhood. She was married young and became a widow at just nine years of age. She studied up to the 4th standard, worked as a teacher, and retired as headmistress in 1989.
From her pension and savings she built the Vitthal-Rukmini temple at Vyasnagar, Naldurg. That same spirit gave rise to Mathura Pratishthan — a trust for social and educational work.
Listen to a message from Mathura Pratishthan
We work across multiple fields for the holistic development of society
We support people in need with financial, medical, and emotional assistance to improve quality of life.
Learn more →Scholarships, books, and learning materials for deserving students working toward a brighter future.
Learn more →Self-employment, skill development, and vocational training to help women become self-reliant.
Learn more →A second home for elders — with love, dignity, and independence
Everyone has habits and hobbies — reading, writing, speaking, group games, indoor games, exercise. All of this is made available here. If they wish to do something different, that too is arranged.
Mathura Pratishthan was founded with a clear vision. Without self-interest, residents can stay as long as they wish and follow daily routines of their choice. Religion, caste, and community are respected. Only 20 persons — men or women — can register here.
An environment is created where elders can share experience, thoughts, and knowledge. Special programs encourage dialogue across generations.
Our location is visible on Google Maps. Nearby services are readily available. Just 500 metres from National Highway 65 and 500 metres from the state highway.
Luxury bus and MSRTC services run 24 hours. Air and rail connections are about an hour away. Transport is available day and night.
Our five-acre campus is in a scenic environment with no air or noise pollution. We strive to offer elders more comfort than their previous homes, as they prefer.
Independent living, couple accommodation, and community facilities are available.
We will monitor elders' health around the clock. An ambulance is available 24 hours within about one kilometre.
The sub-district hospital offers free care; medicines are free, and generic medicines are available at very low cost.
Centre for creative classical early education | Run by Mathura Pratishthan in memory of Late Smt. Mathurabai Tatyaba Jadhav
Good values, freedom, knowledge, ability
and opportunity — that is education.
Freedom means fearlessness, autonomy, spontaneity — that is education
A child is a living, independent person with the right to live and think freely. Investing in early childhood education is long-term savings — far better than saving money for the child alone.
We seek a good doctor for the sick, a good lawyer for complaints, a good shop for clothes. Why not seek a good place (school) for our sons and daughters?
Brain research shows 80–90% of information reaches the brain through the eyes. A child is a crore-party — they can be guided toward what they need with care.
Children naturally want to keep learning new things. At a young age their urge to learn is immense. The joy of learning keeps them from sitting still.
Through play and exercise — sweat, freedom from worry, openness, doing things oneself — self-reliance grows and dependence fades, building confidence.
Classrooms are large (75×98 ft), with admission for only 30 children at a time. Separate clean toilets for boys and girls. Pure drinking water. Study, teaching, materials, games, sports equipment, library, abundant reading material, first-aid kit, well-equipped building, e-learning, and ramp access.
"Do not bind children to school life —
let them roam freely in the school of life! That is all!!!"
The centenary celebration organized by Mathura Pratishthan included a grand statue unveiling ceremony attended by thousands of devotees.
