About Us

Seth Jai Parkash Mukand Lal Institutions of Knowledge and Service is a chain of twenty eight institutions spread over Haryana and Uttar Pradesh 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 “Pagle 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 this part of the country. Hence, he established Mukand Lal National High School at Abdulapur (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 accumulated 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 money generously to the educational institutions.
