Welcome Note from Hon’ble Trustee

It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to Chimanbhai Patel Institute at Ahmedabad. This institute operates under the umbrella of Sardar Vallabhbhai Education Trust, one of the oldest and reputed educational trust, engaged in providing knowledge as well as platform for the future career of the students.

Education liberates the mind; opens up amazing possibilities and opportunities. Today’s youth is energetic and is constantly searching for new information and knowledge. It is our objective to mentor them and help them to explore their true potential so they sparkle with new ideas and to equip them to make strong impact.

Today’s need is to provide transformational education where one gains much more than a degree. Along with the academic excellence, our aim is to enhance personal, intellectual, professional and culture abilities of our students to make them leaders of community.

Once again, I welcome you to the world of difference.

Thanks,
Siddharth C. Patel
