"Educate to empower "
R Chenraj Jain, a visionary, is the founder chairman of the Jain Group of Institutions. He is a person with a strong conviction that much more is possible than people ordinarily think. He always wishes to do something for a country like India and change the history of illiteracy. He wishes to do the same by following the principle “educate to empower “.
Here were a few questions that this man who was hard pressed time answered to .
What or who has been your inspiration to start the JGI ?
“I idolize swami Vivekananda. When he has been able to do so much for the country, I wish I could follow at least one bit of what he emphasized on .
Do you think formal education is necessary?
“Well, in today’s scenario it is a must as it is unlike in my times. So I advice one to at lest get a UG degree.
What is that one thing you ensure to privilege the students of the JGI with so that they stand apart from the crowd?
“I ensure every student gets exposure, conviction, a boost in the confidence level and develop a sort of passion towards their field.”
Do you think attendance is necessary?
“yes ,of course . the college functions only foe about 110 days every academic year .if a student has not attended 75% of these days I am pretty much sure that the knowledge and info acquired would be so limited . so I insist the students must have at least 75% .
Why is it that the commerce students are given more preference?
“That is a very wrong notion. Arts and science are given equal preference too. It appears so because the commerce strength is more than double the strength of arts.
What are your future plans for the JGI ?
“I have always dreamt of having a total of 1000 branches al across the country from where efficient leaders for the country could be picked .
