The Challenge

Why We're Building This

For Students: Most Jain schools either compromise on spiritual depth for academic rigor, or sacrifice competitive preparation (NEET/JEE) for dharmic education. We refuse to choose.

For Parents: Boarding schools are distant black boxes. Our "Atithi Bhavan" model allows parents to stay on-campus for weeks or months, performing spiritual practices while staying connected to their child.

For Teachers: Remote-location schools suffer attrition. Our "3-On / 1-Off" rotational model (3 months work, 1 month paid leave) attracts top talent who can visit cities regularly.

CBSE + Jain Values

100% NCERT syllabus for NEET/JEE success, integrated with daily Pratikraman, Swadhyay, and Jain philosophy classes.

Alumni Governance

After 20 years, only graduates of this school can become Trustees. The students build the institution they wish they had.

What Makes Us Different

4 Revolutionary Pillars

No other school in India combines all four of these features.

The "Sunset Clause" Governance

  • Years 0-10: Founding Board (Donors & Visionaries)
  • Years 11-20: Hybrid (50% Founders + 50% Alumni)
  • Year 21+: Student-Run Trust (Alumni elections every 3 years)
  • Checks: Guardian Council of Jain Monks veto religious violations only

Atithi Bhavan (Parent Housing)

  • 20 Studio Apartments for long-stay parents (2-4 months)
  • ₹25,000/month (vs ₹2,500/day in Palitana hotels)
  • Parents do Ayambil/Updhan while child studies
  • Dissolves the "boarding school guilt" completely

"3-On / 1-Off" Teacher Rotation

  • Teachers work 3 months → 1 month paid leave → Repeat
  • Requires 34 teachers (33% bench strength) for 500 students
  • Prevents burnout & attracts city-based talent
  • Teachers work 9 months but paid for 12

Inclusive Jain Sect Model

  • All sects welcome: Swetambar (Murtipujak & Sthanakvasi) + Digambar
  • Parents choose which Kriya & Tithi their child follows
  • 10-20% of schedule dedicated to sect-specific practices
  • Shared core values: Ahimsa, Satya, Jivdaya
