MH SET 2026 Paper 1 Question Paper (25-Oct-2026)
The correct answer is

Normal school of Ms. Mitchell, Pune

Savitribai Phule (1831–1897), India’s first woman teacher, was married to Jyotirao Phule as a child and was first taught to read and write at home by him.

For formal training she enrolled in a teacher-training (normal) course: she studied at the Normal School run by Ms. Mitchell, a Scottish missionary, in Pune, and also took training at an institution in Ahmednagar run by Cynthia Farrar. After this training she began teaching girls and, with Jyotirao, opened the first girls’ school at Bhide Wada, Pune, in 1848.

Gujarat Vidyapith was founded by Mahatma Gandhi only in 1920, long after her time; a ‘Dalita habitation school’ was not an institution where she studied – the Phules themselves later set up schools for Dalit children; and the Farrar institution was in Ahmednagar, not a school in Pune.

So the place in Pune where Savitribai received formal education is Ms. Mitchell’s Normal School.

Hence, the answer is Normal school of Ms. Mitchell, Pune.
