International Alumni Association of Shri Mahavira Jain Vidyalaya (IAAMJV) Mahavira Jain Vidyalaya, well known for its constant service in the cause of education is one of the oldest pioneering institutions of its kind in India. Realizing the importance of education in the 20th Century, Shri Vijay Vallabhsuriwaraji Maharaj inspired the leaders of the Jain community to build a hostel for bright and needy Jain college students about 80 years ago.
From this small beginning in 1915, it has grown to 8 hostel servicing some 828, male and female college students in Maharastra and Gujarat, India.
