Overview Established in 1893, The Sardar Dastur Nosherwan Girls' High School, Pune is a secondary school that offers the State Board curriculum and is under the management of the Sardar Dastur School Trust. An important point to be aware of by parents is that since it is an aided Govt.-recognized educational institute, as per the norms, free education is provided to the girls up to Class 10. This means that they do not have to pay the admission, tuition, and term fees. However, this is applicable only for those whose parents are residents of the State for the last 15 years and who have at least 75% attendance. In the case of siblings, not more than three of the same family can avail of the free education. A unique feature of the school is that the Sardar Dastur Schools Trust, which manages the school, proves a safety insurance policy to all students and staff. Campus infrastructure includes a library, computer labs, science labs, sports facilities for basketball, handball, athletics, etc.
