KANERKHED HOUSE
The motto of the house is, “Vidya Bhanti Sadguna”.What is Kanerkhed?
The roots of the Scindia family can be traced to the village of Kanerkhed, 16 miles East of Satara in Maharashtra. The early Scindians joined the Maratha army raised by Peshwa Balaji Vishwanath in the 16th century.
About the Housemaster:Ms. Manisha Singh, faculty member in the Social Science Department, joined The Scindia School in October 2016.
