Saraswat Vidyalaya

Saraswat Vidyalaya is an educational institution located in Khorlim, Mapusa, Goa, India. It was founded as a primary school by the Saraswat Education Society in March 1911, and gave instruction in the Marathi language. The original school building near to Mapusa police station survives and was repurposed as a bank after the school moved to Khorlim. Saraswat Vidyalaya is now a high school with feeder units of pre-primary and primary. On the same site, the Society also manages Purushottam Walawalkar Higher Secondary School, founded in 1988 and Sridora Caculo (formerly Saraswat Vidyalaya’s) College of Commerce & Management Studies, established in 1991.

Besides the general streams, the higher secondary manages vocational courses in Auto Engineering Technology, Office Secretaryship/Stenography and Accountancy and Auditing, Floriculture and Landscaping.
