Passionate about intellectual as well as creative pursuits, Manisha enjoys undertaking new challenges that transform visions into reality by efficient execution.  “I am a strong believer in Education. I started my career as a teacher. Ekal’s mission to bring education and development to the most underprivileged people resonates deeply with me. I am delighted that they are branching out to bring health services and skill training to the villages, making them self-reliant. I look forward to working with Ekal to make a difference in the lives of the underprivileged” says Manisha Jain.

A collaborator and team player to the core, Ms. Jain has been actively involved in the community as a volunteer for several organizations such as Ekal Vidyalaya, Palakurthi Foundation, Hindi Manch, Saheli, IIFFB, and Triveni School of Dance, among others, wherein she likes to lead silently and by example. Manisha has been instrumental in conceptualizing and organizing several fundraiser events for Ekal New England in the past few years. During Covid, she started her own organization Sew-We-Care and galvanized 150 community members to provide 25000 PPEs to local hospitals and other organizations. Manisha was honored as one of the 20 outstanding women of 2020 -21 by India New England News and was awarded the "Excellence in Community Service in Healthcare" award for the year!
