The History of Jogwad Primary School
From Humble Beginnings to a Pillar of Learning in the Community.
Jogwad Primary School was established on January 6, 1906. At that time, it was under the authority of the Surat District Local Board, as Navsari had not yet become a separate district.
Initially, the school was located at Fulat Street, where a Balwadi (kindergarten) operated. However, the building was in poor condition and required improvements.
To address this issue, a new Gujarati school was constructed next to Yusufali Salim Desai’s house, where the primary school is located today. Initially, it offered Grades 1 to 4. The land for the school was originally owned by the Jogwad Sunni Muslim Jamat (community). The Jogwad Jamat sold the land to the Surat District Local Board, allowing for the construction of the school. With the help of a government grant and additional funds contributed by the villagers, four classrooms were built.
In 1953, the new building of the Jumma Mosque was inaugurated, with Revenue Minister Rafi Ahmed Kidwai (1894-1954) present at the event. During this occasion, he also inaugurated the new building of the Gujarati School.
Due to financial constraints, the school’s flooring was initially made of smeared clay. During this period, Fakirahmad Asmalji Mulla, who had returned from South Africa, donated ₹1,500. This donation was used to install stone slab flooring, which remains intact to this day. In 1957, the school expanded further with the addition of three more classrooms.
Jogwad Primary School played a vital role in the education of children from nearby villages, as it was the only school in the surrounding area. Students from Chitali, Bodwank, Chasa, Kumkotar, Kankriya, Kangwai, Bhoriya, Nagdhara, and Saraiyya attended this school for their primary education.
At one point, the government proposed upgrading Jogwad Primary School to include a high school. However, the residents of Jogwad village opposed the plan due to concerns about the potential deterioration of the village’s social atmosphere. As a result, a ban was imposed on constructing a high school in Jogwad. Instead, a high school was later built in Kangwai village by Mast Mangera Saheb.
In 2011, the Gujarat government restructured the education system by moving Grade 8 from secondary schools and merging it into primary schools.
Jogwad Primary School continues to serve as a pillar of education for the village, preserving its rich history and legacy while providing quality education to future generations.

Students of the Early Years
Jogwad Primary School, established on 6 April 1906, has been a foundation of education for Jogwad and the surrounding villages. The oldest student enrollment register, preserved from 1915, holds nearly 50 years of records. During that time, when the village population was small, this school served as the only educational institution in the area.
Students not only from Jogwad but also from neighboring villages such as Chitali, Nagdhara, Kangwai, Kumkotar, Saraiya, Bhoriya, Kankariya, and many others came here to pursue their primary education.
To honor and remember those early learners, we have collected details such as student names, dates of birth, admission dates, the standard in which they were admitted, leaving dates, caste, and their native villages. While the records are vast, we have curated and presented a selection of this invaluable history below in a tabular format.
Below is a glimpse of the student records from the early years.
