About Tridashakpurti Varsh – Celebrating 30 years of JPCEC’s Journey
Namaskar,
Jnana Prabodhini Competitive Examinations Centre was established in the year 1995. We are celebrating the year 2025-26 as ‘त्रिदशकपूर्ती वर्ष’ (Year of Completing Three Decades). For this, several activities such as get-togethers, panel discussions, documentation of the education system, and production and publication of books and documentary based on JPCEC’s journey, are being planned from April 2025 to January 2026.
The educational system developed during these 30 years in JPCEC, and the insightful Upasana Chintan sessions will be documented in detail, and books based on those will be published. A movable exhibition on important activities, milestones, events will be created. Educational equipment and student’s facilities will be developed and modernised.
Get-togethers will be organised in Maharashtra and across India of the 1500+ officers’ network, and 1000+ expert professionals. Serving Officers and Professionals who have done significant work in other fields will be interviewed about their learning experiences at JPCEC and Good Practices projects, and an online article series will be published based on this. A documentary and memoir will be prepared by compiling the experiences of all participating members in the center’s educational activities, experiments, research, and more.
We heartily invite all of you to participate in these activities. For this, members of JPCEC will communicate with you in the next few months. We are sure you will spare some time and respond to the requests. Please also save JPCEC’ official number +91-8624027134 for further communication.
