On the afternoon of 15 January 2021, the usually bustling markets of Nawalgarh in the Shekhawati region of Rajasthan were eerily quiet as stallholders and shops had downed their shutters in a unilateral show of respect for one of the illustrious sons of the town who had breathed his last. For Kamal Morarka and his eponymous foundation had impacted every fibre of the town and benefitted inhabitants of the region in a unique manner, creating physical, educational, sporting and social institutions and also providing flourishing livelihoods to farmers yet preserving the environment. Some of these initiatives are as follows.
A community for learning
Belabai M. Morarka Vidyamandir, a co-educational English Medium senior secondary school established by Belabai Morarka Charitable Trust was inaugurated in July 1998. It is partly a measure of repayment of the immense debt of gratitude which the Morarka family owes to the town of their birth and origin. The school has been the pious wish of Belabai M. Morarka, wife of the Late Shri Mahavir Prasad R. Morarka and mother of Kamal M. Morarka that the students of the town should be educated and should be made self sufficient.
The vision is to make this Vidyamandir a learning community of motivated students and staff engaged in active learning through the best use of modern technology.
The school aims to prepare the students to face the challenges of life by imparting quality education that shall foster academic excellence, physical fitness, psychological and mental development in each student.
