ATNN, 21st June 2025: The third Foundation Day of SPK Jain Futuristic Academy unfolded as a vibrant celebration of progress and purpose, commemorating both the young institution’s evolving journey and the 97-year legacy of its founding body, Shree Shwetambar Sthanakvasi Jain Sabha. Revered for its sustained contributions to education and social development, the Sabha brought together community members, benefactors, and alumni in an event that echoed with gratitude and forward-thinking resolve.
Chief guest Dr. Rikhab Chand Jain, Chairman of TT Group and a distinguished philanthropist, was warmly received by Shri Sardarmull Kankaria, President of the Sabha. His presence underscored the institution’s vision of aligning tradition with innovation. Shri Kankaria, who has long championed the Sabha’s holistic development initiatives, continues to be a guiding force behind its educational mission.
The day began with a vibrant cultural showcase by the Academy’s students, featuring performances in music, dance, and theatre—all thematically rooted in unity, creativity, and excellence. This was followed by the felicitation of alumni who have excelled in diverse academic and professional fields, illustrating the impact of the Sabha’s value-driven approach to education.
Several key supporters were honoured for their unwavering encouragement and contributions to the Sabha’s mission, including Sri Panna Lal Kochar, Dr. Rikhab Chand Jain, Sri Rajendra Sethia, and Sri Pradeep Jaideep Patwa. Their involvement was acknowledged with deep appreciation for strengthening the Sabha’s enduring legacy.
The gathering paid homage to the visionaries who first imagined an institution that would combine moral grounding with modern learning. That early aspiration, initiated by Shri Sardarmull Kankaria, was later realised through the dynamic leadership of Principal Dr. Jayeeta Ganguly, who has continued to shape the Academy into a vibrant learning ecosystem.
In his address, Shri Kankaria reflected, “Our journey has always been rooted in the spirit of service. SPK Jain Futuristic Academy stands as a living embodiment of our belief in education that goes beyond textbooks—nurturing integrity, intellect, and empathy.”
Dr. Jain praised the Academy’s forward-thinking ethos, emphasizing that educational institutions like these are critical in preparing the next generation to lead with wisdom and compassion.
Addressing the audience, Shri Nevendera Singh noted, “A foundation day is more than an anniversary—it is a reaffirmation of ideals. SPK Jain Futuristic Academy is not just educating students; it is shaping future citizens. I commend the Sabha for its steadfast devotion to Seva, Shiksha, and Sadhana.”
Principal Dr. Jayeeta Ganguly expressed sincere gratitude to the Sabha and its supporters: “What started as a noble idea has blossomed into a nurturing academic space. Watching our students grow into capable, grounded individuals is our greatest reward.”
The day’s celebration served as both a look back at nearly a century of devoted service and a forward glance at the Academy’s evolving journey—carried forth with purpose, vision, and enduring values.
