The gates of Jain Vidyaniketan are always held wide open to children who wish to learn and develop their lives. At present 1800 chidren from 97 villages of Kanakapura taluk in the Bangalore Rural District have been admitted to the primary, middle and high school section. The total strength fo the school will ultimately be 3500 students. Jain Vidyaniketan creates a window of opportunity for these deserving children from the poorest sections of society, by providing a holistic, high quality education free of cost.

"What greater or better gift can we offer than to teach and instruct our health"

Swami Vivekanada had no illusions as to where the power of a nation lay. Its youth, he said, was a country's destiny.

Since quality education in the modern world is prohibitively expensive many rural children are deprived of good schooling which is their right. Millions are forced by circumstances to be under achievers and sufferers of low self esteem. Where, then, can one expect the productivity and knowledge so closely associated with 'marching into the 21st century?'

The primary beneficiaries are of course, the students themselves, because they learn and experience matter of importance they would never have known other wise. However, benefiting enormously too, are the parents, siblings and the other members of their extended families.

Once children are enrolled in school, they are given all the necessary support to instill in them the self-confidence to perform their best, especially when they wish to pursue further studies in their general main stream.

Teachers from Jain Vidyaniketan don't invite parents over to the school for parent teacher meetings but visit the villages to conduct meetings with them. A definite sense of involvement is felt by parents and students who in turn motivate others to pursue the path of education and enlightenment themselves.
