Kanodar in
Gujarat, India was famous for cotton cloth in the past. It was called
the "Manchester of Banas Kantha".
Kanodar is in
Palanpur Taluka and its district is Banas Kantha, Gujarat State in
India.
By the
Roadway, it is on state Highway 41 (Ahmedabad-Delhi) road. It is near to
Banas Kantha Headquarter (Palanpur). In Kanodar, there are about 12,000
people. The majority of the population is Muslim (Shia community) and Hindu,
Jain.
On the subject
of religion, Kanodar is also famous for Hussain Tekri and the Azadari
programme in Safar 22nd to 25th every year.
The
Jafary Education Society
In fact, The
Jafary Education Society came into existence after many hardships
during first phase of Kanodar during which they were in Saudi Arabia for
earning purposes. The people foresaw the well being of the next
generation who they thought would suffer as the older generation were suffering and facing
problems. Henceforth, in 1989 fourteen and fifteen persons gathered and
talked about the establishment of an Educational society. After some
time, a management committee was formed.
The
aim of our society is to provide knowledge and education to our
community. We started a typing class in 1989 because typing was a subject
in S.S.C. and in Kanodar there was not any typing class. In this class,
all students of S.K.M. High School, Kanodar took part in the nominal fees
(all community children). After 5 years, the craze of typing came to an
end. In 1994 bright ideas came in to existence. The ideas were
Computer Class or English Medium School.
 English being
the window language in this advanced and technology era, the emphasis was
placed on running one English Medium School right from K.G., thus The
Jafary English School came into being in 1994.
Initially,
people were hesitant to provide support to the school on account of the
new medium of education and new management. But the responsible persons
of this society and the school gave full enthusiasm, support and guarantee
to the parents. After being convinced, 29 parents showed their readiness
to have their children admitted into this school.
