Padmashree Dr. D. Y. Patil
Founder

Dr D Y Patil, a Padmashree recipient, and former Governor of the Indian States of Bihar, Tripura and West Bengal is the founder of the D Y Patil Group. In the realm of education and healthcare in the state of Maharashtra, one name stands out like a shining beacon, that of Dr D Y Patil. His vision, dedication and passion have been indelibly influenced, by his wisdom and generosity and have left several benchmarks, be it in the schools for imparting basic education or institutes for higher learning.

His regard and respect for traditional values and openness to modern ideas, blended perfectly with his admirable personality. The Ramrao Adik Institute of Technology in Navi Mumbai, established two decades ago and the Krish Vigyan Kendra in Kohlapur bear a testimony to his chosen causes. Amongst the hundred and over institutes founded by him, the Padmashree Dr D Y Patil Vidyapeeth is virtually the jewel in his crown.

Humble and unassuming Dr D Y Patil is better known for his work, rather than the awards and recognition he has received over the years. For his pioneering contribution in the field of education, he was honoured with the title 'Padmashree' by the President of India.

"Your child has an inquisitive mind, a willing heart, and a vigorous spirit. As a parent, you desire him to develop multifarious skills in as many areas as possible-scholarship, the arts, technology and sports-so that he grows into the truest and best version of himself. So do we."

At DYPIS, no matter what your child tries we are always in support. We foster curiosity, spurring him to new discoveries. We help him to leap from knowledge to understanding. Here he learns how to stand up for himself and for what’s right-and realize what he’s capable of accomplishing.

Mr. Vijay Patil
President
D Y Patil University, Navi Mumbai

An educational institute to be truly world-class has to be solid and state-of-the-art when it comes to infrastructure. The person responsible for making this happen is Mr. Vijay D. Patil.

Mr. Patil possesses the right qualification (Bachelor’s in Engineering and an M.B.A. from the Bond university, Australia) and the organizational capability for managing the infrastructure needs of a group of this magnitude.

A pointer towards his skills is the establishment of the state of art stadium at Nerul with all kinds of facilities international cricket demands.
