The concept of night schools in Pimpri-Chinchwad was born out of a need to educate child labourers and school dropouts. With the establishment of Hindustan Antibiotics Ltd. and the subsequent industrial boom, many young workers migrated to the area. For them, night schools became a lifeline—allowing them to earn a living while continuing their education.

To provide education to financially disadvantaged students, Saraswati Mandir Sanstha established Chintamani Ratra Prashala in Pune in 1921, later expanding to Pimpri Chinchwad. Over the past four decades, this night school has transformed countless lives in the region’s industrial twin towns.
