It is nearly half a century now that Late Sir Padampat Singhania, the visionary founder of the JK Organization dreamt of an empowered India populace, through whom India would take its place as an equal in the comity of nations. According to him, empowerment pre-supposes education and knowledge. That then became the cornerstone of the Organization’s philosophy for discharging its social responsibility and the JK Cement Nimbahera Foundation (JKCNF) was born. Over time, involvement with education became stronger and deeper. Today, two decades later, it is associated with twelve educational institutions imparting education to nearly 14000 students at various levels of the learning curve.The Foundation constituted a think tank of eminent people from the industry, science and technology, and academia who prepared the blueprint of the university. The University is committed to academic excellence, entrepreneurial spirit, diversity, vibrancy, and creativity.Essentially, knowledge frees human beings. It is a profound source of power that encourages candid human interaction and provides people with vigour, as well as liberating them from various limitations. The creation and application of new forms of knowledge will no doubt determine the future direction of human society.
