SDD Nagar, Nagpur
Heritage & History

Founded in 1854 by the Shri Dadasaheb Dhanwatey Nagar Vidyalaya & Jr. College, SDD Nagar has served families with trusted schooling for over 172 years.
What began as a humble initiative to provide quality education has grown into one of the most prestigious educational institutions in the region.
