Over nine decades of philanthropic commitment, national pride, and transformative education.
Bai Kabibai and Hansraj Morarji Charity Trust has a rich and glorious history spanning nearly a century of nation-building.
In the mid-1920s, renowned and philanthropic businessman Seth Hansraj Morarji and his noble wife Bai Kabibai decided to donate their entire wealth to the cause of education and charity, establishing the Bai Kabibai & Hansraj Morarji Charity Trust in 1926. Ever since its inception, the Trust was deeply associated with freedom fighters and national leaders of India.
Shri K.M. Munshi, the eminent freedom fighter, statesman, and educationist, was one of the founding Trustees. Mr. Munshi envisioned starting a school on the lines of the finest public schools to impart quality character education to children in India. He started Hansraj Morarji Public School as a residential school in June 1939 off Ghod Bundar Road.
In 1938, Dr. K.M. Munshi acquired a vast piece of land in Andheri. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel laid the foundation stone of the hostel building on 28 January 1940. Following the outbreak of the Second World War and requisitioning of premises for military purposes, the school briefly relocated to Gujarat and Worli before returning permanently to Andheri in 1946.
On completion, the magnificent new school building was inaugurated by Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru on 19 August 1962. During its formative years, the institution had the privilege of welcoming eminent dignitaries including Shri C. Rajagopalachari, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, Shri Jayaprakash Narayan, and Maulana Abul Kalam Azad.
Over 80+ years, the Trust institutions have nurtured thousands of alumni who have achieved excellence in politics, civil service, defense, medicine, business, and arts at national and international levels. Every student passing out is an ambassador of our proud heritage.
