Welcome to SHRI PANDIT RATNACHANDRAJI JAIN KANYASHALA TRUST
Educating Underprivileged Girls
It all began in the 1920s, at a time when female education was society’s lowest priority. A woman meant little to society except for her ability to please her husband and most importantly have male children.
At Kelewadi, Girgaum in South Mumbai, the Ratnachintamani Jain Kanyashala was taking shape as an education centre for girls. The trustee and donor Shri Durlabhjibhai Khetani, was happy with the development and the progress of the school. Shri Khetani was an industrialist, a freedom fighter and a social activist, living in Ghatkopar, a distant north-eastern suburb of Mumbai. It was then that he resolved to start a similar school in Ghatkopar, near his residence.
Our Services
Since the last nine decades, the Trust has worked determinedly in the spheres of education and women welfare activities, especially for needy, underprivileged women by providing them access to free/subsidised education so that they may have an equal opportunity to participate in socio-economic activities and be liberated and empowered.
