The Kalamkar News, CMS Founder Passed Away:  Deeply influenced by Mahatma Gandhi, Vinoba Bhave and others, the young and idealistic Dr. Jagdish Gandhi took up the task of creating a new mindset through education in 1959. With only five children, no personal property and borrowed capital equal to ten US dollars. 

Dr. Gandhi started his personal experiment in Lucknow about sixty years ago under the name of City Montessori School, which is now popular. Which is now known as CMS. Since 1999, the Guinness World Record for the largest school in the world is in the name of CMS. 

He was very active in politics, everyone in the assembly knew his name. He was playing a big role in a big state like Uttar Pradesh. But he felt that the best way to stop conflicts was not to simply make agreements or make rules from above. 

Rather, people's minds will have to be prepared so that fights do not occur. For this work, he left politics and started on another path. 

Dr. Jagdish Gandhi was born on 10 November 1936 in Barsauli village. It falls in Sikandrarau of Aligarh district of UP. Talking about education, he studied from GS College, Sikanderau till high school. 

After that he passed 12th from Champa Aggarwal College, Mathura. He did his graduation from Lucknow University. From there he took a bachelor's degree in commerce. 

Dr. Gandhi was 11 years old and he was distraught after hearing the sad news of Mahatma Gandhi's death. At that very moment he decided to follow the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi throughout his life and decided to change his name from 'Jagdish Agarwal' to 'Jagdish Gandhi'.

In his childhood, Jagdish Gandhi was influenced by his uncle, Prabhu Dayal, who was a veteran freedom fighter and a social activist in India's freedom struggle. 

Took inspiration from him for social service. Dayal went to jail several times during India's freedom struggle. Since childhood, Jagdish Gandhi was deeply influenced by Mahatma Gandhi's teachings of truth and non-violence and he always dreamed of meeting him in person.

Jagdish Gandhi was ill. After a 25-day struggle in the hospital, Dr. Jagdish Gandhi died on 22 January 2024 at the age of 87.
