Our History
Established in 1984 under the guidance of prominent Jain scholars and with the blessings of Jain Acharyas, Kund Kund Bharti was founded with the vision of creating a premier institution for Jain studies in India.
Named after the revered Acharya Kund Kund, one of the most significant Jain Acharyas of the Digambara tradition, our institution strives to uphold his teachings and philosophical contributions to Jainism.
Over the decades, we have grown from a small research center to a comprehensive educational institution offering various courses and degrees in Jain philosophy, ethics, and spiritual practices.
