About the school: Pragati Vidyalaya is a modest, Marathi-medium aided school focusing on foundational education for primary grades. With a small team, basic facilities (library, computers, ramps), and community orientation, it serves local needs but may lack the sparkle of more tech-rich or extracurricular-driven institutions.
