Mr. Rajiv Podar attends the 100th year celebrations of Jalan Family School in Ratangarh, Rajasthan

Mr. Rajiv Podar joined the 100th year celebrations of Hanuman Balika School in Ratangarh, Rajasthan build by The Soorajmalji Jalan family.

Honourable Union Law Minister Shri Arjun Meghwal ji joined live online and Shri Madan Dilawar ji, Cabinet Minister for School Education & Panchayati Raj Department, Govt. of Rajasthan graced the occasion apart from several other dignitaries.

The outstanding cultural program staged by the school children was a delight to watch.

A century ago, Shri Soorajmalji had the vision to educate women – a very rare thought in those days in India. He could foresee the important role women would play in our society. He started a school for girls and today it stands out amongst other institutions build by the Jalan Family.

While the world talks of CSR today, it’s heartening to see how it was actually practiced in India centuries ago. These education institutions depict the desire of the rich to give back to society.
