BARODA HIGH SCHOOL

In order to bridge this gap in school education and with the object of providing high quality education at affordable cost to the citizens of Vadodara, the Baroda Lions Club Education Trust (BLCET) was formed in the year 1961. The journey began with setting up of the first school in the centre of the city [at Bagikhana a place where the horse-carts of the Maharaja were kept], fondly named as Baroda High School.
