It is with immense pride and pleasure that we announce that The Jain Foundation (TJF) and Mr. Ramesh Kumar Shah, Founder of RK Group, have been honoured with the prestigious JAINA Institutional Award in recognition of their outstanding contributions towards the objectives of JAINA – the Federation of Jain Associations in North America

Founded in 1981, JAINA https://www.jaina.org/ is a non-profit religious organization committed to advancing research and education in Jain principles and promoting the timeless values of Ahimsa (non-violence), Anekantvad (respect for the multiplicity of viewpoints), and Aparigraha (non-possessiveness).

Established in April 2020 amidst the challenges of the pandemic, The Jain Foundation (TJF) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving, promoting, and making the core values of Jainism relevant to the present and future generations. The Foundation carries this vision forward through its nine key verticals: Jain Talks, Jain Yog, Jain Diet, Jain Parv, Jain Yatra, Jain Library, Jain Muni, and Jain Melody.

The vision of TJF is to bring the foundational values and timeless wisdom of Jainism to contemporary society, creating meaningful connections with the current generation while preserving these principles for generations to come.
