Centre For Jain Studies
The Centre for Jain Studies has been established to emerge as a global centre of excellence, utilizing an interdisciplinary approach to foster holistic wellbeing, societal upgrade, and a sustainable world. Grounded in classical Jain wisdom, the Centre integrates traditional teachings with modern sciences and technology to create innovative courses that build professional competence. With an experience-based worldview of the universe as a reality, a rational theory of karma, and a reverence for all life, Jain philosophy promotes an ethical lifestyle that preserves ecosystems. Although ancient, this philosophy remains highly relevant to modern society by proposing solutions to contemporary global problems. Practitioners of Jainism respect diverse viewpoints and advance both personal and global peace. Indeed, the core principles of Jain philosophy—non-violence (Ahimsa), non-absolutism (Anekantavada), and non-possessiveness (Aparigraha)—may prove to be the foundation for world peace.
To achieve this, the Centre actively cultivates deep academic inquiry into Jain metaphysics, encouraging truth-seeking through textual scholarship and internal philosophical realization. The College offers Doctoral study programmes, alongside a multidisciplinary minor specialisation in Jain Studies for students of different streams. These programs design community projects and value-based leadership models that promote social harmony, inner transformation, and sustainable lifestyles. After successfully completing their courses, students are eligible for both government and non-government services.
Within the Jain Studies concentration, students analyze Jain philosophy, ethics, and living streams of religious experience based on non-harming. They will have the opportunity to explore the Jain culture’s primary texts, doctrines, and contemporary applications. Research topics may include diaspora Jainism, sacred and commentarial literature, pilgrimage, ritual, material culture, monastic traditions, lived Jainism, cultural exchange, Jainism and ecology, and Jainism and the natural sciences.
To support this robust academic environment, the Centre also publishes The Journal of Jain Studies, a peer-reviewed platform dedicated to advancing original research and critical discourse in the field. Furthermore, the Centre bridges Jain philosophy with non-humanities fields, providing students across other disciplines with the ethical framework and sustainable mindsets required to lead responsibly in their respective industries. Ultimately, the Jain tradition is studied in conversation with other Dharma traditions to deepen the understanding of their mutual illumination as well as the unique contributions of Jainism.
