Principal Shree Jain Vidyalaya, Kolkata
Decades old Association with Shree Jain Vidyalaya & S. S. Jain Sabha
I Sincerely imagine and think of myself apart from Shree Jain Vidayalaya and S. S. Jain Sabha. I feel that these two above mentioned premiere institutions are inseparable from me and I am compelled to feel and think so as I have the peculiar and proud distinction of both being a student of this school and at present heading Shree Jain Vidyalaya, Kolkata. It is, no doubt, a great feeling to feel the heat both from inside and outside the fence. As a student, I was fortunate to be blessed and taught properly by the teachers. At that time also, I felt that there was large liberal helping hand behind the running and development of the school and that "hand" was Shree S.S. Jain Sabha which always helped and encouraged the students. Sabha and its selfless services left an indeliable impact on my innocent mind. Sabha's active and alert officials were very positive in their approach towards the development of the school. The Journey from being a taught to a teacher of the same institution has a remarkable place in my heart. As a teacher also, I came closer to the activities of the sabha and it has been an extra ordinary experience for me. Despite being very busy in their pursuits, the members and office bearers of the sabha, never hesitate in contributing their parts for the welfare of the underprivileged dwellers of the society.
Jain Education International
The glorious and proudest moment of my life arrived when Shree S. S. Jain Sabha bestowed upon me the responsibility of being the Principal of Shree Jain Vidyalaya, Kolkata. So much water has flowed in the Hoohgly and tremendous changes have taken place during the last few decades but if something has not changed that is the ever widening thought and action of Shree S. S. Jain Sabha, Personally I feel that I have the greater responsibility to keep up the reputation of Shre Jain Vidyalaya and it is my dream not only to maintain the School's high profile glory but also to take it to the zenith in the educational arena. For This I am more than hundred percent sure that S. S. Jain Sabha will provide me full fledged support.
Shree S. S. Jain Sabha has completed eighty years of service and benevolence. It has always followed the dictum "Service to mankind is the best and truest religion". The sabha has added many feathers in the forms of several schools, colleges, hospitals, book banks, charitable organizations to its crown. It is still performing several generous deeds in the different fields and I hope it will continue to do so in the future also. A few words of congratulations and tributes are just triffle in comparison to the deeds of the sabha. At this moment, I am reminded of these words:
छ अष्टदशी / 650
"Let us then be up and doing With a heart for any fate Still achieving still pursuing Heart within and God o' erhead".
