About Extension Activities
Jain Vishva Bharati Institute (Deemed-to-be University) is dedicated to the holistic integration of Teaching, Research, and Extension. Guided by the principles of human development, moral value orientation, and character building, JVBI considers extension work as a vital bridge between academia and society. Rooted in the vision of Acharya Tulsi and the Anuvrat Movement, community welfare and social upliftment have been at the heart of the Institute since its inception. Today, JVBI translates this vision into impactful action through organized units, statutory schemes, and academic outreach—fostering community resilience, social awareness, and civic responsibility.
