Shri Gajanand Palriwala
Founder & Former ChairmanPalriwala Educational Research & Training Society (PERTS) was founded by the late Shri Gajanand Palriwala, a great visionary and philanthropist, firm and fearless in his conviction. He was motivated by his faith in God and a determination to serve the poor, underprivileged, and needy sections of society for which he worked relentlessly and with dedication.
Born on 22 April, 1926, in Lachhmangarh, he joined his family business at the age of 17. By sheer hard work, he developed his business acumen and knowledge and successfully managed a number of companies, some of which had their reach to countries like Australia, Japan, New Zealand, UK, and the USA.
Under his guidance, will, and vision, PERTS established two institutes in Lachhmangarh, first the Palriwala Vocational Training and Research Institute and then the Industrial Training Institute (PITC). He remained Chairman of the Society till his demise in 2014. His work and the social welfare schemes supported under his Chairmanship have earned PERTS recognition, esteem, and respect.
Though his activities in educational philanthropy were long standing, Shri Gajanand Palriwala spent the last two decades of his life in trying to make his own and his elder brother’s vision into a reality by setting up the Seth Madanlall Palriwala Foundation (SMPF) for this purpose.
