"Anterior to life stands service, posterior to death stands love, initial of creation and end of destruction, all lives lay in the foundation of love."
The first act in the history of Nirmala Convent School was played out in far away Valencia, Spain, when the newly appointed Bishop of Ahmedabad, Rev. Monsignor Edwin Pinto, on a visit to his alma mater, persuaded the Bishop of Valencia to send some Spanish nuns to work in Rajkot. It was the involvement of the sisters of the Congregation of the Missionary Sisters of Christ Jesus including Sr. Maria Theresa Unzu in the educational field in Rajkot that paved the way for the establishment of Nirmala Convent School, on 14th June 1963.
