The Seedling group started its journey with the Seedling Nursery School. Encouraged by the steady progress of the Nursery School, the Samiti established Seedling Public School at Jawahar Nagar, Jaipur and subsequently Seedling Modern High School at Durgapura to catalyse the holistic development of students under its care. In a succeeding step, the Samiti established the Seedling Academy of Design Technology and Managment (SADTM) followed by the Seedling Institute for Integrated Learning and Advanced Studies (SIILAS). Here were institutes to groom the future leaders of the country, nurturing and moulding them to become competent professionals in a hi-tech, industry focused environment. The Samiti's greatest success came with the establishment of Jaipur National University which is a landmark in the history of higher education in Rajasthan. A university with a perceptible difference and distinction and a strong research zeal. In the wake of rapid strides in Science and Technology, Mass communication, Law and Governance, Management, Social Sciences and Language, Literature and Culture, JNU promises to meet the aspirations of the youth by providing them a vibrant environment to live, to learn, to work and explore in. From what was a humble beginning, the Seedling group has traversed a long path to become an educational power to reckon with.
