Message from the Chairman
Dr. Mohan Manghnani
Chairman, New Horizon Educational Institution
“Education is not just a mere accumulation of facts; it is preparation of life itself.”
In today’s world of globalization there is a paradigm shift in education. Education is not limited to the subjects learnt in school; it is a lifelong process that teaches one to grow as an individual, and to discover and re-discover themselves.
We have an unwavering belief in the intrinsic worth and potential of our students. Our aim is to provide each and every student with opportunities to discover their true potential and excel in their chosen field.
At a time when there is a crisis of moral values in society, it is imperative that we inculcate good values and a strong conscience in our students. At NHIS we strive to provide world-class education, steeped in the rich traditions and values of India. Our students are the future of the world, and our aim is to create excellence in every classroom.

Charting the future with compassion
His commitment to service was evident from a young age. Still a Pre-University student, he pioneered adult education centres in twenty villages across Maharashtra, fostering literacy and uplifting rural communities through knowledge.
With visionary foresight he has adopted more than 100 tribal villages nestled in the forests of Bandipur and Kabini, offering them a chance at a dignified, empowered future. Through his rural school at Bheemakkanahalli he provides nearly free education to more than 1,500 children, and supports government schools with furniture, desks and learning materials.
A firm believer in holistic development, he has instituted sports scholarships for young athletes, donated ₹25 lakh of life-saving equipment to Lions Eye Hospital, and trained thousands of government school children in internet literacy.
Every Deepavali, children from orphanages are not only remembered but celebrated with dignity and joy - new clothes, shoes, socks, books, a curated goodie bag and monetary support that sustains their academic journey.
Sustained giving
Through ongoing contributions to Namma Nele, Narendra Nele and the Child Fund Association, more than 1,200 children receive not just essentials, but the warmth, comfort and dignity they richly deserve.
In every act of giving he embodies a rare blend of visionary leadership, boundless generosity and genuine humanity - qualities that elevate him from a philanthropist to a living institution of benevolence.
Philanthropy with depth
Beyond academics, the Chairman has contributed to initiatives of national importance and sustained community work - sports scholarships for young athletes, a ₹25 lakh donation of life-saving equipment to Lions Eye Hospital, internet-literacy training for government school children, and continued support to Namma Nele, Narendra Nele and the Child Fund Association for more than 1,200 children.
