The founder of the prestigious Ramjas College of Delhi University was Late Shri Lala Rai Kedar Nath Ji. He was born on 17th January, 1859. He pursued his studies with great dedication and distinction and rose to the position of Sessions Judge, a great feat considering the constraints of poverty. He was a man of keen intellect and had a combination of sterling qualities like fortitude, strong will and an irrepressible zeal.
He was in real sense a true “Karma Yogi”. The attainment of his high life mission, by way of establishing, organizing and administering schools, is a clear mirror of his dedicated spirit of service and untiring hard work. He was a beacon of light and left no stone unturned to dispel darkness of ignorance prevailing in the society. He resigned from the post of Session judge and made a significant, mark in the annals of history by devoting himself to serve the cause of education.
He was no way less than Pt. Madanmohan Malviya in his matchless service to work, for propagation of education. Rai Kedar Nath Ji’s saintly personality was a center of attention for one and all. His glowing example of altruistic social service and pursuit of his ideals had a deep impact on his countless social co-workers. The spirit of his great noble soul will forever continue to guide us all in our ceaseless Endeavour’s in the pursuit of truth, knowledge and wisdom.
He founded the Ramjas Education Society [Ramjas Foundation] in 1912 to commemorate the name of his father Lala Ramjas Mal Ji. At present the Society runs 16 schools, one day boarding school, one post graduate Ramjas College and Ramjas Sports and Mountaineering Institute.
The Ramjas Foundation fervently rededicates itself to his lofty ideals and pledges to stand committed to work for the cause of education – the education that includes an all round development of the child, the training of the intellect and also the refinement of the heart and the discipline of the spirit to become a balanced citizen to serve the country, to the best of one’s ability.
We hope that the spirit of his great noble soul may forever continue to guide us all in our ceaseless Endeavour's in the pursuit of truth, knowledge and wisdom.
