About Us

Shri Gauridutt Mittal Junior College is run under the aegis of “The Balak Education Society”.

“The Balak Education Society.” was formed in the backdrop of India’s struggle for independence. It was therefore logically guided by the old adage:
‘Education makes people easy to lead, but difficult to drive.
Easy to govern, but impossible to enslave”.

The “Balak Education Society” was founded in the year 1936, with the primary objective of providing value-based, relevant and good education intertwined with character building and inculcating a spirit of national fervour among the students. Till MAY 1966, the School was run in a rented building at Matunga under the name of “BALAK MANDIR HINDI HIGH SCHOOL”.

From its humble beginnings at Matunga, Mumbai to its present location at Sion (E), Mumbai, the history of the institution has been the result of dedicated, pragmatic, progressive, relentless and untiring efforts of the management and staff of the institution.
