Great men are remembered for the strong foundations they leave behind on which stands the future of the coming generations.
Late Shri Jaganath Ji Bajaj, the visionary, the path maker, the revered mentor. As we go back in the annals of history to the year 1929, we read about the sacrifices and valor and bravery of those who fought for the Independence of the world’s largest democracy, India. There were not many then, and are not many even today, 84 years later, who have worked for the society, for the up liftment of the weaker section, who have worked against the thought process in the society against racism, who have worked for providing facilities and amenities to those who no one ever thought of as important in the growth and development of a nation. Late Shri Jaganath Ji Bajaj , without a thought of the laurels it would bring to him, without a thought of how well will his work be appreciated or not by the various corridors in possession of authority , started working for the betterment of the standards of living , for the people from small villages in Rajasthan. His aim was a free and growing society, were people from all casts and creed would live as one. He believed that irrespective the demarcations created by the so called flag bearers of the society, Independence for India in the true sense would not just be a fight against the atrocities of the British Raj, but also a war had to be fought internally against the incorrect thought process, the bias that people were living with, the incorrect beliefs of the people, the manner in which they were nurturing and breeding the youth , and transforming all of this into positivity was his combat field and focus.
A young man of 35 years of age, Late Shri Jaganath Ji Bajaj, started this journey and today this strong edifice, the RNB Global University, which is a result of the foundations that he laid as a part of the various peripherals of the society, stands strong and projects in its own silent way the teachings and learning’s he left behind in all his contributions to the society. Human Values in Higher Education is what he professed in that era, to a not so literate society and it is the same MOTTO with which we march on ahead at RNB in 2016.
The 3rd of September 2016, saw celebrations, as an assortment, in a platter garnished with the presence of Dignitaries, words of motivation which work as inspiration, awards and recognition for all who have rendered in making this journey successful, since the inception of RNB in June 2015.
The day started with the welcoming of the Dignitaries who graced the occasion, the Hon’ble Chairman, Dr.R.N.Bajaj, The Hon’ble President Lt.Gen R.k.karwal and the senior management.
It was then the garlanding and tilak ceremony of the bust of late Shri Jaganth Ji Bajaj, as all with solemnity remembered our revered mentor and founder. This was followed by the auspicious lamp lighting as yet another chapter unfolds with blessings of the Almighty.
After all were seated in the seminar hall, the Hon’ble guest of honor Dr.R.N.Bajaj was welcomed with heartwarming words, and then it was Reminiscences as a few glimpses of the life, contributions and works of Shri Jaganath Ji Bajaj , our revered founder were given an ode.
The Hon’ble President, RNB Global University, once again swayed all off their feet with his pearls of wisdom , which smoothly in each event manage to inspire the soul of Team RNB , which feels proud to be under his helm of affairs.
The Hon’ble Chairperson Dr. R.N.Bajaj then addressed the gathering, and this was the moment that the audience was really looking forward to, as the head of the family, may be seen and heard less, but to know that he appreciates the hard work of each member and acknowledges us all in our own small ways as a part of the journey to laurels for the organization, is the real mantra of man power management.
This was followed by a gracefully presented cultural program, which in a silent manner once again reminded all of the era of the beginning of this journey of transforming minds in 1929 by Late Shri Jaganth Ji Bajaj.
Scholarships and awards for the students, staff and faculty members were announced thereafter, as the Hon’ble Chaiperson, did the honors and felicitated each.
These awards were in various categories like Best Student for the Academic year 2015 to 2016 in various disciplines, like Academics, Best student Overall, Sports.
For the faculty members the award was for Best Faculty in various disciplines and for the staff and employees as per the nature of their work. It was indeed encouraging and overwhelming to see how each one was appreciated in their own way for the work being done, which is privy to the fact that , no work , if done with integrity and honesty goes unnoticed.
After the vote of thanks by the registrar, the Dignitaries were escorted for the tree plantations, a campus visit, and there after The Hon’ble Chirperson person addressed the faculty and staff members, leaving behind him a very focused and enigmatic audience.
As human beings we always look forward to celebrations, and the life and teachings of our revered founder and mentor Late Shri Jaganth Ji Bajaj clearly profess that if we look around, in every day, in everything that we do, in every way in which we contribute to our surroundings, there is a reason to celebrate. With this the proceedings of the day winded, as all at RNB get set rolling for yet another day full of celebrations.
