The Jain International Organization (JIO) will set up 24 universities across India to be on a par with Ivy Leagues internationally.
Jain monk Nayapadmasagarji Maharajsaheb, mentor and JIO founder said the new universities will be in the names of the 24 Jain tirthankars, and the community could avail of the benefits under the minority status recently awarded to them by the central government.
A host of constitutional and policy and religious experts came together to explain what lies beyond the minority tag. On Saturday, the monk addressed over a thousand Jains and spoke to them on benefits Jains can now avail and clear their doubts on matters like reservation in schools and colleges, scholarship programmes and tax benefits on charity and donations.
Three Union ministers, Pradeep Jain K Rahman Khan and Milind Deora were felicitated. JIO will also publish a booklet on the advantages of having minority status.
