The purpose of Pawan Public School is to constantly create and nurture a vibrant teaching environment, where the principles of Nayi Talim, Santiniketan and other progressive education methods are implemented in tandem with the prescribed course curriculum.

The ultimate aim is to start a movement by creating an ecosystem of such schools which will create the impact on emerging citizens of India and finally help us achieve 'Education for All'. PPS aspires to continue imparting education that will not be limited to books but will enable the all-round development of children.
PPS strives to ensure that the next generation grows with wider latitude of acceptance for different cultures, traditions, communities etc. Thereby making it free from regional, racial, ethnic, gender differences, and ingraining attitude of service to the society.

The journey of Pawan Public School began in 1987 when Eknath Bawankar, a native of Pauni noticed that this hamlet of 21,000 in Bhandara district of Maharashtra was served by a single municipal school of questionable performance.
In response, he set up the Pauni Shikshan Sanstha and started Pawan Vidyalay, a Marathi medium school to impart better quality primary education.
Pawan Public School followed 12 years later in 1999, with a goal of delivering high quality English medium education to make its students more employment-ready in a changing India. From the beginning, the method of learning was Traditional Indian Participative Learning promoted by Mahatma Gandhi and Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, unlike the vicarious learning by rote from books.
In 2009, Vrundan, a 21-year-old girl, gave up the chance of a promising career in the armed forces to dedicate her life to grass-root work. Today, she serves as the Executive Director, Mentor, and face of the school.
