JEEVAN VIDYA STUDY CENTER, SOMAIYA VIDYAVIHAR

Inception of Jeevan Vidya Study Center at Somaiya Vidyavihar

Dr. S. K. Somaiya, Chairman, Somaiya Trust formally inaugurated the
Jeevan Vidya Study Center at Somaiya Vidyavihar on August 13, 2007 in
the auspicious presence of Pujya A. Nagraj Ji, Amarkantak (MP), the
propounder of ‘Madhyastha Darshan’. The other dignitaries who graced
the occasion were Mrs. Leelaben Kotak, (Late) Shri P. M. Kavadia Ji,
Shri V. Ranganathan Ji and Prof. P.V. Narasimham. The inauguration
ceremony was held at K J Somaiya College of Engineering, Vidyavihar
auditorium.

The Jeevan Vidya activities had already started amongst faculty of
various colleges of the campus in early 2006 by Shri Mahendra Singh.
Two groups of faculty were sent to IIIT Hyderabad and Abhyuday
Sansthan (Achhoti) Raipur during the year. At Achhoti more than 30
participants attended, out of which 5 were heads of the institution.
Dr. S. K. Somaiya himself attended the concluding session. He
discussed at length with Shri Nagraj Ji, the modalities of
implementation of JV at the Vidyavihar campus. He visited Amarkantak
and Achhoti twice to interact and take guidance from Pujya Shri A
Nagraj

Shri Mahendra Singh migrated to Canada in March 2007. The JV
activities in the campus were taken up by Dr. (Mrs.) Niruben Maskai,
one of the daughters of Pujya (late) Shri K J Somaiya, who with her
persistent efforts made JV a regular and consistent feature. This was
natural to her as she had always seen education as a carrier of values
just in tune with the noble legacy of her illustrious father.

Dr. (Mrs.) Niruben also visited Amarkantak to meet Shri Nagraj Ji. Her
incessant pursuit fructified in Dec-2007. Dr. Surendra Pathak and Mrs.
Sunita Pathak from Bhopal joined Jeevan Vidya Study Center, Somaiya
Vidyavihar as Director and Research Officer respectively. The task at
hand was to spread the message of JV amongst faculty and the students
of the campus. To begin with, a group of 17 faculty members from the
campus was sent to IIIT Hyderabad for a seven days workshop. Prof. P.
V. Narasimham, Mrs. Nikhila Vasavada and Dr. Surendra Pathak also were
part of the group.

1. Enhancement of humanness, human values and human consciousness.
2. To implant ‘consciousness developing value education’ in the
content of education.
3. To disseminate the humanness based code of conduct.
4. To promote synergetic (universal) world order, human constitution

Jeevan Vidya Activities in the Campus

The mission of value education through Jeevan Vidya started with a
multitude of activities. For faculty the orientation was planned in
two ways viz Jeevan Vidya workshops and formation of study circles at
different institutes. For students, classroom lectures were introduced
in the timetable of some of the institutes.

All the daughters of Pujya (late) Shri K. J. Somaiya viz Mrs. Leelaben
Kotak, Mrs. Savitriben Dayya, Mrs. Pratimaben Thakkar, Dr. (Mrs.)
Niruben Maskai, Mrs. Janakiben Thakkar, Mrs. Divya Mirani, Mrs.
Bharatiben Thakkar and the Somaiya family members also attended many a
session during the workshops.

Orientation of Faculty

It was Management’s desire that every faculty and non-teaching staff
of Vidyavihar should be introduced to the philosophy of Jeevan Vidya.
In accordance with this a series of seven days’ (30-35 hours) Jeevan
Vidya workshops were organized at different institutions at the
campus.

The first in-house workshop was held at KJSCE Vidyavihar, which was
inaugurated by Honorable Dr. S. K. Somaiya on January 15, 2008. In his
inspiring address Dr Somaiya emphasized the indispensability of values
in the present day education system. He said that Pujya Karamshibhai
took up the issue with utmost concern and all through his life he
remained committed for this noble cause. He remembered Pujya Nagraj Ji
quite fondly and with a deep sense of gratitude.

Workshops for faculty

Following workshops were held in the campus for the faculty of various
institutions from January to July 2008. The resource persons for these
workshops were from IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur, IIIT Hyderabad, Abhyuday
Sansthan (Achhoti) Raipur, Divya Path Sansthan, Amarkantak and other

Response of the participants

A feedback/ evaluation session is held at the end of every JV workshop
wherein the participants express their views on the concept and
content of Jeevan Vidya. Authorities from Somaiya Trust along with
college Principal attend the feedback sessions.

Almost all participants expressed that the workshop helped them have
clarity about their own self and an increased level of self-
confidence. This will ultimately result in better harmony in their
relationships in family, society, nature and the overall existence.

They perceived JV as a universal solution to present day problems and
opined that JV should be inevitable part of academic programme/
curricula and some assured of their active participation in this
mission.

Need of Consciousness Developing Value Education

In today’s global scenario the importance of human values for
individuals, institutions, organizations and legal systems is being
felt intensely. Need for setting the mankind free from animal
consciousness and its transformation into human consciousness also is
being realized fervently.

Content of present day education directly or indirectly incites
consumerism, sexuality and a blind lust for profit making. This is
leading the socio-ecological life to complete instability and
disaster. Protection of mankind from despair, depression and
frustration; society from exploitation, injustice and crime; families
from disintegration and valuelessness; nature from ecological
imbalance is call of the day. Jeevan Vidya can be a panacea for all
these ills. It has been put forth for human society in the form of a
proposal.

A National Convention on Value Education (VE) through Jeevan Vidya
(JV) was organized at IIT Delhi in collaboration with IIT Kanpur and
IIIT Hyderabad from May 22 to 24, 2007. The convention was inaugurated
and attended by H.E. the President of India Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam.
The participants were Vice Chancellors, Directors of IITs, Professors,
Heads and Scholars from over 50 leading academic institutions,
delegates from industry and representatives of various social groups.

At the convention it was strongly felt that VE must be incorporated in
education in general and technical education in particular. The panel
discussions highlighted the need for designing of VE courses based on
JV. It was recommended that a VE program must be universal (secular
and non-sectarian), Rational (based on reasoning and verifiable
through experience and experimentation), leading to harmony (within
humanity and with nature) and conducted without preaching. It was
concluded that JV satisfies the above criteria.

A national committee was formed to guide VE through JV. The
responsibilities of the committee were to present the recommendations
to AICTE and Ministry of HRD, work to develop the reference material,
disseminate JV amongst the academic community and to help provide
faculty training for this purpose.

A National Committee on VE through JV was formed which comprised of
Dr. Sanjay Dhande, Director, IIT Kanpur (co-chair), Dr. Surendra
Prasad, Director, IIT Delhi (co-chair), Dr. Rajeev Sangal, Director,
IIIT Hyderabad (co-chair), Dr. R R Gaur, IIT Delhi (convenor), Dr.
Abhijit Mitra, IIIT Hyderabad, Dr. Deepak Gupta, IIT Kanpur, Prof
Ganesh Bagaria, HBTI, Kanpur, Shri Pawan Gupta, SIDH, Mussoorie, Shri
Sadhan Bhattacharya, Divya Path Sansthan, Amarkantak, Shri Som Dev

Madhyastha Darshan : Sah-astitva-vad (Jeevan Vidya)

Madhyastha Darshan elucidates the inherent order in the Existence and
has been expounded in the form of universal aphorisms. It is
completely free of mysticism. For realization of human goal Madhyastha
Darshan: Sah-astitvavad contemplates on co-existence in the whole
existence, mutual fulfillment and cyclicity in nature, nature friendly
ways and behavior in society, value based justice in family and
contentment with right understanding in an individual.

A. Nagraj (Amarkantak)

Shri A. Nagraj (88) was born in a Vedmoorthi family at Agrahar village
in Hasan district of Karnataka. In his quest for truth behind the
Existence, quite in his early youth he migrated to Amarkantak, origin
of the holy river Narmada, in 1950. After around 20 years of sadhana
he attained the state of realization. He visualized the entire
existence, the inherent order present in it and answer to each of his
queries.

The human centric philosophy propounded by him, which he has
christened as Madhyastha Darshan – Sah-astitvavad, is a universal
remedy for all the ills that are marring the present day society and
the nature. The philosophy, which is quite comprehensive in nature,
has been presented in four parts viz: Manav Vyavahar Darshan, Karm
Darshan, Abhyas Darshan and Anubhav Darshan.

Vyavaharvadi Samajshastra, Avartensheel Arthachintan, Manav
Sanchetnavadi Manovigyan, Samadhanatmak Bhautikva, Vyavaratmak Janvad
and Anubhavatmak Adhyaamvad, Pribhsha Samhita, Manviya Samvidhan are
the treatise on universal human conduct, universal order and an
integrated society by Shri A. Nagraj.

Jeevan Vidya Yojna, Manav Sanchetanavadi Shiksha Sanskar Yojna and
Parivar Moolak Swaraj Vyavastha Yojna are the programs based on the
above philosophy designed to realize the cherished human goal.
