To contribute to education in a young India, great visionaries and philanthropists: Pandit Madan Mohan Malviyaji, Shri Jamnalal Bajaj and Shri Anandilal Podar came together to establish the Anandilal Podar Trust in 1921. It is of utmost pride that Mahatma Gandhiji himself was the Chairman Trustee of the trust. Anandilal Podar Trust is honoured to be amongst the two private trusts that Bapuji ever accepted to be trustee during his life. Following this, the Trust has been committed to giving back and providing quality education to learners in rural and urban areas across the nation for over 100 years. The Trust has established over 37 charitable schools, colleges, management institutes, hospitals, and vocational training centres across India - including the first Institute of Management in Rajasthan, bearing the Podar name. Currently, over 30,000 students are studying in these institutions as the Anandilal Podar Trust continues growing to enrich more lives and contribute to lifelong learning.
