Prabodhakant Damodardas Pandya, known as P.D. Pandya (1944–2021), was a social worker, educationist and philanthropist. He founded Meghdoot Education Trust in 1970 so that good education could reach ordinary families. In 1992 the trust opened the P.D.

He also served as a member of the Gujarat Legislative Assembly (2002–2007) and as a Minister of State.
“This campus and everything that you see here is the gift of God. We are mere instruments in His hands.”
