Nine institutions. More than 5,500 students. One enduring conviction — that education anchored in values is the truest form of nation building.
“Degrees help a student get a job. Values help them build a life.”— Dr. Naval Singh Jain
Every institution Dr. Naval Singh Jain has built began in a village called Sarwania Maharaj, in Madhya Pradesh. His father — a headmaster honoured by the President of India — passed away when Naval was seven. He was too young to inherit his father's knowledge, but he inherited something greater: the certainty that a teacher's life is the most consequential life a person can lead.
Education became his ladder. A B.A. from JNVU Jodhpur. An M.A. in Sanskrit — the classical mind of India. An MBA in Human Resources — the machinery of modern institutions. And a Ph.D. devoted to the Shilank Teeka of the Sutrakritang Sutra, one of Jain philosophy's most demanding canonical commentaries.
His career rose through every rung of Indian education — hostel superintendent, government schoolteacher, TGT at Jain Vishva Bharati, Ladnun — before he was entrusted with a modest small-town school in Bijainagar. He left it one of the top-ranked schools in Ajmer district, and went on to lead the entire Pragya family: nine institutions spanning play group to postgraduation, built on the belief that a child in a tehsil town deserves the same quality of education as a child in a metro — without ever leaving home to find it.
From play group to postgraduation — every campus built on the same foundation of academic rigour, modern method, and enduring values.

At a ceremony held in Jaipur, the Pragya Group of Institutions signed memoranda of understanding with representatives of around 30 foreign universities, opening pathways to international admissions, career counselling, application guidance and scholarships. Director Dr. Naval Singh Jain said the initiative is designed especially to help students from rural and semi-urban backgrounds compete at the global level, describing it as a step towards preparing quality-conscious, internationally competitive graduates.
