JAINA Executive Committee 2013-15 | JAINA Executive Committee 2011-13

Raj Patil

VP Canada

"One of JAINA`s distinctive goal is to provide a forum where, through free inquiry and open discussion, the various lines of Jain thought may intersect with all the forms of knowledge. The organization prides itself on fostering the development of those disciplined habits of mind, body, and spirit that characterize educated, skilled, and free human beings. I will facilitate a concerted effort to further these goals."
