Jnana Prabodini : A PROFILE

Way back in 1960, Dr. V.V.Pendse, an educationist par excellence, dreamt of an institute that will awaken intellectual, physical and spiritual potential in our youth and develop them into integrated individuals committed to making positive contribution to the development of their motherland. Embodied firmly in Swami Vivekananda's views on education, what began as an experiment the gifts of the gifted, has now become a multi faceted, multilocational organization recognized at the national and international levels. Jnana Prabodhini (JP) has now grown into a movement for motivating intelligence towards social change.

Jnana Prabodhini is now an ensemble of 4 schools; research institute; a computer training center; 3 other training-cum-production units; a hundred bed hospital, and a rural development program spread over from four adjoining blocks of Pune District, Maharashtra.
