Newsletter of PV
Sadar Jai Jinendra!
Happy and spiritual 'Rainy season religious period (Chaturmas)' to you all.
This newsletter is the initiation of a dialogue between management of Parshwanath Vidyapeeth 'PV' Varanasi and you, the supporters and users of PV's services. You will receive more frequent newsletters from us apprising you with developments at PV and seeking your advice, support and guidance.
PV had been a leading Jain education and research institute since 1937. Since 2010 the management of PV decided to rejuvenate it to be a truly foremost International Jain research and education institute. Dr. Shugan C Jain, Chairman, International School for Jain Studies, New Delhi, was appointed as President of the Institute with the objective of quickly reviving it and make it a self sustaining International Jain Education and Research Institute. A number of changes were introduced in shifting the Head Office of PV to Varanasi, renew its lapsed 80(G) status and make it a public (Sthanakvasi Jain community) owned and run Institute.
Promoters of PV since its inception M/S Ratanchand Harjasrai Jain family of Amritsar (in particular Harjas Rai Jain Public Charitable Trust through its trustees Shri. B. N. Jain, Shri Vidyabhushan Jain, Shri. R. C. Barar and Shri Indrabhooti Barar) deserve special mention and thanks for this transition of PV. All the above targets had been achieved and 80(G) is likely to be received by middle of August 2011.
HH Acharya Dr Shivmuniji consented to be the spiritual guide to PV and directed Shramna Sangh Secretary Muni Shirish ji and its Shravak Samiti to extend all out support to PV through this transition.
