Jaysingpur College, Jaysingpur was established by the Anekant Society way back in 1964 with inspiration from the blessings of Saint Late Samantbhadra Maharaj. The Jain Philosophical concept ‘Siddhiranekantat’ became the motto and ‘Anekantwad’ found its name in the nomenclature of society. It was indeed laudable to think of providing higher education to rural students at that point in time, more so, when there was no college of higher education within a radius of 40 kilometers. Thus that segment of society that stood deprived of higher education till 1961 found a ray of bright future and hope from the academic point of view.

In order to ascertain the aims of the establishment of the college, there is a need to have a look at the name of the society viz., ‘Anekantwad’ (multi-dimensional) ‘Siddhiranekantat’ which finds a place in the motto of the college. The aim of education in this institution is to enrich the quality of matter i.e. the body matter of the individual so that the soul ‘within’ helps him to become a good ‘Siddha’ who will be an asset to society.
