Welcome To Jidnyasa Trust
A voluntary organization working in the field of students. We strive for the multi-pronged development of the students, including their academic improvement. We strongly believe that if the culture of the mankind has to improve, it will be done only if the students are properly groomed. The development of their personality can be achieved by building a sense of confidence in them, by various means of extra-curricular activities. We are based and active in the Thane city region, next to Mumbai, and we give these kids an opportunity to see and experience the world outside their schools and homes. To reach this goal of imbibing the confidence in them, we provide them with lots of regular and incidental courses, training sessions, workshops and visits to important establishments.
Jidnyasa stands for -
Jidd - Determination
Dnyan-Knowledge
Sahas- Adventure.
Our activities spread in these three domains.
Since our aim is improve the confidence and enrich the personality of the students, we make it a point to see that all the functions of JIDNYASA are conducted and compared by these students.
