An investor looking to invest in education must look into various factors prior to clinching a franchise deal for launching a K-12 school. We tell you why partnering with The Jaipuria School shall spell success for you.
The association of Jaipuria Group of industries with the education sector goes back to the year 1939, when Seth Anandram Jaipuria Education Society was established with the objective of promoting and spreading quality education. Seth Mungturam Jaipuria who was actively involved in the freedom struggle strongly believed that as and when India becomes independent, its citizens especially the youth, will have to be given opportunities for quality education which is the best method for empowerment. His vision culminated in the establishment of Seth Anandaram Jaipuria Degree College in Kolkata in the year 1945. Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru who was then in the forefront of freedom struggle, inaugurated this college.
The Jaipuria family since then has carried forward this legacy and further strengthened its presence in the field of education. Subsequent to this, another institution in the name of Seth Anandram Jaipuria Inter-college was established in Anand Nagar, Maharaj Ganj, Gorakhpur (U.P.)
The Jaipurias thereafter moved to the city of Kanpur where they set up textile business with factories in Kanpur and other major cities of U.P. Consistent with their commitment towards education, they planned to set up a premier institution in Kanpur to cater to the growing demand of students in the city, which by that time had grown as a big industrial metropolis. In the year 1966, the foundation stone of the Seth Anandram Jaipuria School, Kanpur was laid by Late Smt. Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India and its inauguration was done by the Late Dr. Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, President of India in 1974. The school completed 40 years of its existence in December' 2014.
Seth Anandram Jaipuria School, Kanpur is rated as No.1 in the city of Kanpur and 3rd in the state of U.P. All this has been the result of concerted and collective efforts of management, several Principals and faculty who nurtured the institution with dedication and hard work. The Jaipuria School attracted the best students from different parts of the state and today it boasts of a strong alumni base who have brought great laurels to their alma mater. The school continues to excel in all areas including academics, co-curricular activities, sports, fine arts etc. The school has also been commendably characterized by following an inclusive strategy of hosting and organizing various events wherein students of various institutions in Kanpur and other cities also participate. The events like 'Comfest' attract students from various institutions both at national and international level.
The school, has also been specially privileged and honoured by the visits of several eminent personalities like Shri R. Venkatraman, President of India, Shri C.P.N. Singh & Shri B. Satya Narain Reddy, Former Governors of U.P., Dr. Karan Singh, Jagadguru Sankaracharya, Shri Kapil Dev etc to name a few.
Encouraged and buoyed by the successful experience of running the school in Kanpur which earned great support from parents and different social groups, Seth Anandram Jaipuria Education Society decided to set up a school in Vasundhara, Ghaziabad. The vision was to set up a school in Ghaziabad, a national capital region which would compete with the best institutions in and around Delhi. This was a great challenge because Delhi and its surroundings already had many great institutions which had been imparting quality education for last several years. It is extremely creditable that in a short span of 10 years, Seth Anandram Jaipuria School, Ghaziabad excelled in all parameters of performance which qualified it to become a highly progressive school.

Working in highly competitive environment, Seth Anandram Jaipuria School, Ghaziabad strove hard to achieve excellence in academics, co-curricular activities, sports and the holistic development of its children. One of the major areas in which the School made a significant impact was in sensitizing the children about protection of environment which earned the school 'Paryavaran Mitra Award' from the Ministry of Environment and Forest, Govt. of India.
The school established a strong association with British Council after being assessed by them on certain strong indicators of performance. This helped the school in creating linkages with other international schools operating in UK and France, which In turn strongly influenced the teaching methodology with strong cross-cultural overtones.
The school has been making special endeavours in ensuring collective participation of all the stakeholders like parents, teachers, students, local community which is manifested by several signature events like Founder's Day, Grand Parents' Day, Sports Day etc. The philosophy behind this strategy is that the school would like to stay fully connected with everybody who holds a stake in the future of its students. Moving from strength to strength Seth Anandram Jaipuria Education Society is launching another K12 school in Lucknow starting in academic session 2016-17
In response to the growing need of the industry, Seth Anandram Jaipuria Education Society also decided to set up 3 management educational institutions in the city of Ghaziabad. They offer degrees in BBA, MBA & PGDM and have already an alumni base of 3000 members.

The obvious and the most natural choice was to step into the world of Franchise. While the group continues to open its core schools, they are expanding more aggressively in the franchisee space. The first franchisee license under the name of The Jaipuria School was awarded to a school in Farrukhabad and ever since, they have signed up four more schools in Hamirpur, Unnao, Kanpur and Lucknow.
