I remember coming to Maitree Foundation after 10th standard exams, when I was quite unsure about the path I wanted to take. The test I took and the counseling and guidance that followed helped me think more clearly about my options and make more confident decisions.
That support played an important role in shaping my academic journey. I went on to pursue my BA (Economics Honors) at Fergusson College and later completed my MBA from IIT Madras. More importantly, it helped build a habit of staying curious and open to learning.
Even now, every time I visit, that influence continues and there is some new learning. It motivates me to keep growing and stay connected with academia, rather than settling into a fixed path.
Overall, the impact of that mentorship has been long-lasting and continues to guide how I approach my choices today.
Thank you sir for the guidance, it truly made a difference.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Maitree Institute and Dr. Dhananjay Gaikwad Sir.
Sir guided me very well on how to study, how to plan properly, and how to maintain consistency.
Because of his guidance, my studies improved and my confidence also increased.
I have been selected for MBBS (GMC Latur), and Sir’s guidance has played a very significant role in this.
Thank you, Sir 🙏
Respected Dr. Dhananjay Gaikwad Sir,
Warm greetings.
First of all, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you. It is only because of your proper guidance that my son, Prithviraj, is now pursuing MBBS.
I would also like to appeal to all parents in Latur district and across Maharashtra that Latur is truly a hub of education. Every year, thousands of students prepare for national service through NEET and JEE. This is why students from all over Maharashtra are drawn towards Latur.
I would like to remind aware and responsible parents that the two years of Class 11 and 12 are extremely crucial, as they shape the dreams and future of both students and their families. Naturally, parents have high expectations from their children. However, under this pressure, many students struggle to manage their studies effectively and fail to handle stress properly. This often leads to depression, anxiety, and feelings of inferiority.
As a perfect solution to these challenges, there is a remarkable personality in Latur whom I would like to specially mention — Prof. Dr. Dhananjay Gaikwad Sir, Director of Maitree Institute. For many years, he has been guiding students of Classes 11 and 12 on how to study without stress and how to achieve their goals without falling prey to pressure and anxiety.
He carefully analyzes every internal and external aspect of students and communicates the same effectively to parents. Not only students, but even parents receive valuable guidance from him. This helps build a positive understanding and coordination between parents and students within the family. As a result, parents remain stress-free and are better prepared to support their children’s successful careers.
I can confidently say that most of the students who have joined under his guidance have successfully qualified in important exams like NEET and JEE.
Therefore, I strongly appeal to all parents who wish for their children to face NEET or JEE with confidence and a positive mindset, and achieve success, to get in touch with Sir and make the best use of his valuable guidance.
Thank you.
Prof. Sambhaji Navghare
Headmaster, Ankur Vidyaniketan, Latur
