Jain board to set up educational institutes
Ludhiana, February 5 Giving details about the project, Mr Jain said that Atam Vallabh Jain Institute of Management and Technical Studies was being set up to produce BBAs and MBAs to speed up and regularize the industrial growth of the town. “Although Ludhiana is the industrial hub of the state , it has been felt that the town lacks professionalism especially in small-scale and middle-level industries. Besides, the MCAs produced by the institute will help promote the information and technology and fast-growing computer industries”, he said. The Jain Gurukul School will lay emphasis on character formation of students. It will try to revive moral values based on the fundamentals of jain religion along with the teaching of modern sciences and humanities. A big Vallabh prayer-cum-meditation hall will be constructed to fulfill the spiritual needs of the community in a serene, peaceful and stress-free environment. The ‘bhumi khanan’ (earth-digging) ceremony will be performed by Mr Sharanjeet Singh Dhillon, member of Parliament at Hussainpura site here tomorrow.
