Ludhiana Personality :: Kundan Lal
Kundan Lal Ji was a self-made industrialist, a man with a scientific temper who in association with great leaders such as Jawahar Lal Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi, Tilak,etc. involved himself in the struggle for freedom.
In 1941, when our nationalist leaders were involved in the freedom struggle, a visionary in late Sh.Kundan Lal Ji was working on initiating the Quit Illiteracy Movement in Ludhiana with the avowed aim of infusing a spirit of patriotism and nationalism among students. He founded in 1941 a school in Daresi in the heart of the city.
Starting with a handful of children, he displayed remarkable dynamism and very soon the school took off and had to be shifted to the premises presently occupied by the City Branch of the school.
A striking feature of this school was its emphasis on the glory of India's past and its rich heritage. Apart from the regular subjects, the students were given classes in music, yoga, training in lathi-wielding, etc.
The pressure from the Ludhiana community mounted to such an extent that in the year 1957, Rai Sahib had to set up another branch now at Civil Lines in Ludhiana.Kundan Vidya Mandir was the first School in Punjab to get affiliation to CBSE in 1963.
After the death of Kundan Lal Ji, a trust and managing committee was established to run both the institutions. It comprised of eminent public men, educationists and industrialists. Sh. Sunder Lal Gupta has been serving the institution selflessly since 1966.
