Education will be a big catalyst for driving India’s growth and development in the Amrit Kaal. As the fifth-largest economy poised to be the third-largest in the next two years, India is ready to make strategic technological, infrastructure, and education advancements. The nation’s diverse and skilled workforce, nurtured by world-class educational institutions, will boost innovation and productivity. Several progressive educational institutions are driving this change through world-class education. A leading name among them is Seth Anandram Jaipuria Group of Educational Institutions.
A legacy of 79 years in education lends this group an interesting concordance with the story of Independent India. Founded in 1945 with the establishment of Seth Anandram Jaipuria College in Kolkata, the group has evolved into a conglomerate comprising institutions delivering education from KG to PG. Today, the group boasts 21 K-12 schools, five preschools, two management institutions and a teachers’ training academy. The group has a base of 20,000 students and over 15,000 alumni, making a real difference in the world. The Jaipuria Group delivers education aligned with NEP 2020, focusing on holistic development and active learning. The emphasis is on multidisciplinary studies, skill development, and digital literacy. By fostering inclusivity and innovation, these institutions ensure students are well-equipped for future challenges and global competitiveness.
Shishir Jaipuria, Chairman of Seth Anandram Jaipuria Group of Educational Institutions, says, “When India was on the cusp of gaining Independence from the colonial British, my grandfather Padma Bhushan Mungturam Jaipuria started the group with the vision of empowering the country’s youth to drive growth. My father, Dr. Rajaram Jaipuria, carried forward the vision, an ardent industrialist, educationist and philanthropist who believed in a harmonious blend of Indian values and progressive pedagogy. To date, we are committed to stimulating holistic development in learners through knowledge, new-age skills, and positive values.”
To better understand how the group creates a seamless educational journey from cradle to career, one needs a deeper look into the different aspects of this conglomerate.
