Shri Diwaker is much indebted to his, parents. His father late Singhai Kuarsainji was a profound scholar of Jainism, all India Jain leader and a successful business-man and landlord, Shri Diwaker has six brothers. Amongst them Dr. Sushilchand Diwaker, Dean of Faculty of Commerce, Jabalpur University, is a forceful and remarkable writer and an eminent educationalist. He commands great respect as a prominent social worker. Shri Diwaker Shastri is the eldest amongst the Seven brothers. Shri Shreyanskumar Diwaker B. Sc. is good social worker. His younger brother Advocate Abhinandan Kumar Diwaker, M. A. LL. B. is great and influential social worker and a much talented lawyer. Other members of his family are very religious and humble Shri Rishabha Kumar, son of Shri Diwaker's brother Shri Shantilal, is M. A., I. P. S.
Shri Diwaker is ever ready to guide our Mitra Mandala; therefore we have selected him as our patron. In fact this has brought honour to our institution.
We pray that our great, noble and selfless worker, our guide and philosopher may enjoy best health and perform remarkable services to Jainism and humanity.
We promise Shastri Diwakerji our hearty cooperation in his arduous and sublime services for the cause of universal brotherhood.
