Origins of Veerayatan in Kutch
On 26th January 2001, a terrible earthquake struck the region of kutch. Seeing the
devastation caused, the Sadhvijis of Veerayatan were deeply moved and immediately
rushed to the area to initiate relief and rehabilitation work. With the blessings of Acharya
Shri Chandana ji, under the dynamic leadership of Pujya Sadhvi Shri Shilapiji, several
stopgap schools and vocational training centers were set up to support local people.
Realizing the vast need for ongoing rehabilitation and for education at all Levels,
Veerayatan then established many permanent centers of Learning in Kutch. Using a
professional approach, along with inculcating moral and spiritual values, Veerayatan has
created a revolution in the educational field in Kutch.

skilled and educated manpower is in high demand in all industries in this burgeoning
economic and industrial hub of Gujarat, one of India’s fastest growing states,

areas, Veerayatan has embarked on the journey of providing first class technical
education so that young people can be involved in this process at the outset. Education in
this field is vital for the health of the local community and the country as a whole.
Veerayatan Institute of Engineering, Management and Research

in our country. However, this human resource remains largely untapped, because at the
moment, only 14% of those eligible for the higher education register to continue their
studies. Because of the lack of growth in the rural areas. The majority of young people
