Jagannath Temple's Research Institute

Hindu temples and religious institutions have always tried to contribute to the welfare of the society. For a substantial period in India's history Hindus were so poor due to foreign invasions restricting their faith that this spirit of charity somehow came in the shadow, still we have fine examples of people renouncing all they have for the welfare of society. In this light, a recent news appears to be very positive. 

Gujarat Chief Minister has inaugurated Shree Jagannath Cultural Academy and Research Centre (JCARC). As Indian Express reports in its news article titled "CM inaugurates Jagannath temple research institute", June 30, 2014, Shree Jagannath Cultural Academy and Research Centre (JCARC) near Adalaj houses a replica of Puri Jagannath temple of Orissa and a centre that will also impart training to students on various subjects of public wellness, skill and entrepreneurial development, art and culture, education and philosophy. “I will be going with this new concept (of a place which has a temple and which also imparts training) from here today,” Patel said. “The IAS officers should go and bring trustees of various temples and show them (JCARC),” Patel said.
