UWC Mahindra College is a pre-university International Boarding School, located 40 km west of Pune in Maharashtra, India. It follows the International Baccalaureate (IB). It is one of the 18 United World Colleges. Established in 1997, by the patron of Mahindra Group, Harish Mahindra. The Chairman of Mahindra Group, Anand Mahindra is the current Chairman of the School. The college is a two-year programme with about 250 full-time boarders.
On 28 November 1997, Queen Noor of Jordan and Nelson Mandela inaugurated the UWC Mahindra College in India as one of the now seventeen United World Colleges (UWC) and the third UWC in Asia. The school was largely funded by donations (approximately US $8m) from the Mahindra family, especially Harish Mahindra.
The founding Head of College, David Wilkinson, had previously founded the Li Po Chun United World College in Hong Kong together with his wife Veronica Wilkinson. In 2009, Jonathan Long became the Head of the College. Since 2011, Pelham Lindfield Roberts has been the Head of College.
The college is located near the village of Paud in the Taluka Mulshi region of the western state of Maharashtra, India. It is around 40 km from the city of Pune (which, in turn, is around 100 km south-east of Mumbai). The MUWCI campus is situated on a hill surrounded by rural communities and overlooking the valley of the Mula river near Mulshi Dam.
