sentence of Tirthankar Lord Shri Mahaveer says that one who has the knowledge makes the others knowledgeable so is to be respected as well saluted. The clear message to mankind is, " take me to the region of Light from the depth of Darkness."
Yes, it's the talk about the knowledge, the light of wisdom, the light of godliness which rose in 1943. Being carried with lots of futuristic imaginations in their Minds with great ambitions and to be knowledge worthy many of our brothers were coming to the infatuated Mumbai city from almost of all corners of the nation which became a great worry for their accommodations as well study. At this era of time, noble Lady Shri Tapibai Chunilal Mehta one who is Education loving, very affectionate personality came forward with her great will to resolve the matter. With her great charity in the region of Kot, Marz ban road one huge and magnificent building was bought and Shri Chunilal Mehta Vidyalaya was established therefrom.

The first branch of it became Shree Chunilal Mehta Jain Vidyalaya.

In this era of constant progressive education activities, Mumbai's Shresthi Shri Amulakh Ami chand released great Charity in the fond memory of his son late Madhukant and founded Madhu Balmandir in 1944. Thus, a new pathway was carried of The Jain Education Society there after. In the year 1946 when the great charities sponsor Shri Keshavji Monji Khetani and in the fond memory of his wife Late Ratanbai, at Mumbai Kolbhatlane Ratanbai Keshavji Khetani Ratnachintamani Sthanakvasi Jain KanyaShala was founded.

Here in this KanyaShala with the great Charity of Shri khimachand Maganlal Vora's charity a great, huge and beautiful library is established.
Thus, the The Jain Education Society 's constant progress of different educational activities were continued till the time. In the year 1947 along with India's freedom movement a wind started blowing of new makeovers. Ambitious, bright and to do something in the mind for the nation motive holder students were largely moving towards India's economical capital Mumbai.
To the east and western part of the city many new colleges and Universities came into existence. Accommodations of our Jain brothers were critical. Two great charities sponsor Jain brothers Shri Keshavlal Raghvji Sanghrajka and Shri Zaverchand Raghavji Sanghrajka came forward to tackle this critical situation for our brothers' help who came to the city were truly knowledge thirsty.
Sanghrajka family who had a pain in their hearts for the troubles of our brothers, came forward and as a result today's K.R. Sanghrajka and brothers Vidyalaya has come into existence which is located at Matunga (Vadala). In the year 1950 in Vadala a plot had been bought and there after in 1955 this Shri K. R. Sanghrajka and brothers Vidyalaya was inaugurated.
The progressive journey of The Jain Education Society started moving forward rapidly there after. One by one many milestones were put which is remarkable. As a part of Shri C.B. Mehta Jain Vidyalaya's expansion it migrated from V. T. Mumbai to Vadala. Two of the Great and generous charity sponsors Sri C.B. Mehta and Shri Sangharajka brothers' memories unitedly stabled in one complex and became a guide for thousands of students life. Out of us not even one has seen these great and benevolent people anytime but the fact is thousands of students are yet grateful to them. Without subduing the flame of service into the name of humanity thousands of students pathway had in darkness. For this our society would always be a debtor to them.
Our students would be able to gain knowledge and education from different and popular colleges in Mumbai, staying in Vadala's peaceful, enchanting complex and fulfilling their all dreams and ambitions. More than 3000 students have stayed here in the institute and have reached up to the top successful positions and have brighten the name of the institute as well as the society. Many of our students are on the top positions of the society as doctors, engineers, chartered accountants as they live pridely obtaining the degrees from our Institutes today. Many of our students have earned Prestige and respect in the society as being Industrialists. The students who who achieved ranks in different Universities and institutes with spontaneity, almost all are rank holders even today in the society with the same spontaneity. For this the whole credit goes to The Jain Education Society hence this was almost Impossible without the restless efforts, love, visionary planning’s and affection of The Jain Education Society.

Many of the students are the beneficiaries of this kind of efforts and have progressed in their lives. One can applause this beautiful combination of wealth and knowledge contributed by Jain Kelvani Mandal.
One more Glory was added into The Jain Education Society success story in the year 1962.
