Looking for the best engineering college in Haryana.
Seth Jai Parkash Mukand Lal Institute
of Knowledge and Service is one among twenty two institutions spread over
Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab and owe their existence to the munificent and
philanthropic spirit of Seth Mukand Lal, a close adherent of Gandhi Ji. He came
under the Gandhian influence in earlier twenties. Gandhi ji had fondly
nick-named him “Pagla Bhagat”. Seth Mukand Lal reportedly bore the entire
expenditure incurred in the holding of All India Congress Sessions on the banks
of river Ravi, Lahore in 1929 where resolution for complete independence of
India was adopted. Illiterate himself, he vowed to dispel the darkness of
ignorance by opening educational institutions in the part of the country.
Hence, he established Mukand Lal National High School at Abdullapur (now Yamuna
Nagar) as the first institution of the Mukand chain.
Seth Jai Parkash, his illustrious son
accelerated the pace of opening institutions in the name of his father. A
selfless man, he motivated the rich, particularly the business community by
saying “Rain water accumulates on the roof top without an outlet, shall bring
down the roof. Likewise, wealth without charity will ruin the household of
wealthy”. He acted on this principle till the last and contributed large sums
of money to the educational institutions.
