Kolkata - 700001 On the basis of the Jaina philosophy of 'Right knowledge, Right faith & Right character', some of the energetic and enthusiast people with Right attitude came forward and broke new ground. Those people truly believed in the words and spirit of selfless service to mankind as preached by Jain religion. Not to make news, nor to gain popularity or to obtain political mileage, but such men silently made a positive impact on the society. The credit must go to those who stood out in the crowd.
Consequently, 90 years back in 1928, they started the benevolent works through SHREE SHWETAMBAR STHANAKVASI JAIN SABHA, Kolkata (Shree S. S. Jain Sabha) in a rented room in Burra Bazar area. Meeting on Sundays during Samayik, they thought of taking a house in Pagiyapatti. In one small room, a school was established. 30 years later, land was bought at the Brabourne Road and the school and Sabha buildings were constructed.
They were people who established new trends, opened stable minds by activating the latent imagination of the people. They were the real leaders, the harbingers of change and growth. Their very first step was to set up Shree Jain Vidyalaya in the heart of the megacity, Calcutta (Kolkata).
Since its inception, Shree Jain Vidyalaya has been providing quality education to the pupils of all classes, castes and religions without causing unnecessary burden to the guardians. Presently the Sabha runs the following main institutions :
