The Khaitan Family

The roots of the Khaitan family can be traced back to the village of Ramgarh, Rajasthan from where our forefathers established themselves as traders. At the turn of the last century, the family shifted base to Kolkata diversifying from trade into various industries such as tea, batteries, cinemas, bakeries, galvanized steel, finance, fertilizers, chemicals and law.

In 1966, Late Shri. G.N Khaitan and his wife, Late Smt. D.D Khaitan ventured into philanthropic activities by founding their first school, Bhagwati Devi Memorial Institute (today known as BDM International), in Kolkata with just a few students. Currently it is one of the premier institutes of West Bengal educating over seven thousand children. Thereafter, the mission of educating the future of India strengthened, motivating them to setup many more schools in their lifetime. The various schools established by them are as under:

-BDMI, Kolkata
-Sunny Preparatory School, Kolkata
-Radico Welfare Centre, New Delhi
-The Khaitan School, Noida
-The Khaitan School, Ghaziabad

Passion for education has been instilled in the Khaitan family for decades and the legacy has been deftly promoted as the above institutes are being managed under various Trusts and Societies headed by members of the family.
