Education

IMRC’s primary focus is education. Education is the key to upliftment of individuals, families and ultimately the society. IMRC sponsors programs that provide study materials, scholarships, food and uniforms to students throughout India. Over the past 26 years IMRC has helped educate over a quarter of a million needy and deserving students. This year, IMRC helped 22,570 students in over 123 schools in addition to sponsoring several individual cases, small schools and vocational programs.

Jahangirabad Institute of Technology (JIT), a minority institution for higher learning, has been established by Jahangirabad Educational Trust (JET) in the picturesque and historical Jahangirabad Fort; spread over 40 acres of orchard land. It is about 40 kilometers from Lucknow, UP. The historical palace has been restored to its original pristine beauty for housing this new institution.

It is a dream project of a large number of professionally successful Indians who have settled in USA, who are keenly interested in advancing the well-being of people in India and the promotion of higher education amongst the disadvantaged people particularly the minorities and the rural youth.

The Indian Muslim Relief and Charities (IMRC), USA, has sponsored and pledged to support the JET Trust. IMRC has been serving the people of India for the past 25 years by providing aid to schools, scholarships to poor, orphanages, and victims of natural and unnatural calamities and the needy, targeting the disadvantaged and minority communities.

The Trust has already established a Media Institute at JIT with a state of the art facility for training in electronic media, film making and mass communication and is currently running a number of diploma programs. Starting with July 2007, the Media Institute will also be offering postgraduate courses in Mass Communication and Electronic Media. Concurrently, a postgraduate centre will come into existence, starting with premier courses in IT, Management and Media, besides some Social Science programs. The Centre will have modern teaching aids, classrooms, and library and sports facilities. Highly qualified faculty members are being recruited, besides the visiting faculty from across the country and abroad.
