1. Dr Manjula Pooja Shroff Shares How Education is Fundamental to Building a Healthy Society Entrepreneurship has witnessed some stellar changes over the course of a few years. Women, especially, have started identifying themselves as entrepreneurs and have been doing a phenomenal job leading communities. While they've spread their wings of entrepreneurship across several domains, Dr Manjula Pooja Shroff is one such big name in the Education department. Reforms in women's education have helped many women identify their true potential and contribute considerably to our country's overall growth. After all, women studying in schools and colleges are the present and future of the nation. This is why offering quality Education to the present generation is much needed. As a promise to cater to all sections of society, Dr Manjula Pooja Shroff set her footing in providing quality education through Kalorex – an initiative by Dr Shroff in 1995 with a commitment towards excellence and professionalism in schooling. Kalorex is dedicated to empowering children to succeed in all spheres of life. With opening over 55+ institutions since inception and having empowered more than 65000 students over the span of 28 years, Kalorex follows a cradle-to-career approach and addresses the needs of all segments of the educational domain. Kalorex institutions cater to all segments of the society. The schools like DPS Bopal and DPS Mehsana, Kalorex Future Schools in Ahmedabad, Mundra & Calorx Public School in Bharuch offer CBSE curriculum while DPS East Ahmedabad and Saurabh English School offer State curriculum. The Calorx Olive International School offers a full spectrum IB program. The students having learning difficulties can study in Kalorex Prerna which specializes in Special Learning Needs and Visamo Kids Foundation gives shelter to underprivileged students and helps them get admission in the best partner schools for K-12 education. The Vocational Development Institute of Calorx, builds skills in destitute girls for employability. On discussing the importance of Education, Dr Shroff stated, "I've grown up in a Royal family and my parents had always emphasized on gaining education. While the expectation of settling down early on as a woman did prevail to some extent even in my family, I always had a rebellious streak and believed in going after my dreams. I strongly believe, every individual should be allowed to freely follow their dreams wherein proper education becomes a stepping stone. Through Kalorex, I aim to do so," She added that only if children today get holistic education will they grow up to be secure individuals who will genuinely know what's right and wrong for society. "I think major problems today stem from a lack of proper education. If a child is given holistic development in the institutions, our society will undoubtedly take a better shape than what it is currently." Dr. Manjula Pooja Shroff, MD & CEO of Kalorex Group fought her way through the societal norms to garner higher education from renowned universities such as York University, IIM
