Happiness is when what you think, what you say,
and what you do are in harmony.

Our History
Creation of JBV
14 October 1957: During his Bhoodan Yajna Padyatra, Acharya Vinoba Bhave spent six days in Bengaluru and was inspired by the people he met and the lovely weather. He wanted to create a ‘Sarvodaya Nagar’ to promote the ‘Sarvodaya’ philosophy, which is to ‘devote oneself to the service of others’. The overarching idea was to have people from all walks of life come together to share knowledge and experiences that would benefit the local community and the county as a whole.
To realize this dream, Kamalnayan Bajaj purchased 400 acres of land on Magadi Road, Bengaluru, and decided to build a campus, called ‘Vishwaneedam’.Â
Creation of JBST
The Jamnalal Bajaj Seva Trust (JBST) is a public charitable trust created under the trust deed dated 7 September 1942. The trust was formed by the late Shri. Kamalnayan Bajaj, at the insistence of Mahatma Gandhi, to honour the memory of the former’s father, late Shri. Jamnalal Bajaj. Gandhiji himself drafted the memorandum and articles of association as well as the objectives of the trust. Shri. Jamnalal Bajaj was born on 4 November 1889 in a small village called Kashika-bas in Sikar, Rajasthan. He was adopted by Bachhraj Bajaj, who brought him to Wardha, Maharashtra. Also known as Mahatma Gandhi’s 5th son, Jamnalal Bajaj devoted much of his adult life to India’s freedom struggle and to the service of the people of India. His last wish was to build a ‘trust’ from his personal wealth to serve the public. Thus, the Jamnalal Bajaj Seva Trust was created. Gandhiji had once mentioned in reference to Jamnalalji, ‘Whenever I wrote of wealthy men becoming trustees of their wealth for the common good, I had always this merchant prince principally in mind’.
