Rai Bahadur Gujarmal Modi

" Change we believe is the only constant,
But if a vision remains constant. There is no limit to what can be achieved"

Rai Bahadur Gujarmal Modi had a multi-faceted personality. He was a born administrator and an ardent believer of God. He won respect and esteem of everybody because of his inimitable capacity to distinguish between right and wrong and to stand up fearlessly for what he regarded as his moral duty.

As a philanthropist, he contributed greatly in the field of education. He established a chain of schools and colleges at his birth place, Mahinder Garh, in Patiala and in Modinagar. He also contributed a lot in the field of higher education by giving grants to established institutions such as Banaras Hindu University, and different colleges in Meerut and other places.

He established a Women's Training College and Nurses' Training Centre in Modinagar in 1965. All established institutions provide education to more than 16,000 students.

Interested in Scientific Research and Development, he founded the Modi Science Foundation in Modinagar in 1975, producing highly yielding varieties of natural fiber. He also founded the Eye Hospital and Ophthalmic Reasearch Centre in Modinagar which now works in collaboration with the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness.
