About Sponsor
Model Academy was founded in 1936 and over the last 9 decades has served the community in Jammu and Kashmir by providing quality and value education to lakhs of children. It is an educational institution that has played a key role in the Kashmiri Pandit community.
Hundreds of KPs have attended this institute as students and teachers. Model Academy has stood by Kashmiri Pandits in the Jammu area. Even in 1990 many of our children found their way to this institution and exceptions were made to accommodate the financial needs of the community. Dr Arun Gupta and his family have been huge supporters of the Kashmiri Pandit community. Two of the founders of iqwat received their education from this institute. Not just the school, the engineering college MIET which is managed and run by Mr Ankur Gupta continues to play the critical role of providing higher-level technical education and again KP community is finding it quite helpful. Many of our children are doing their engineering from MIET and a number of our professionals are involved in the management of MIET. When we spoke to Ankur about the noble cause of sponsoring some of our activities at iqwat, we did not have to persuade him at all. The management of MIET and MIER was very forthcoming and supportive of our cause. We would like to express our gratitude to them and look for continued support and engagement in the future.
