Naveen Jain’s Life

Naveen Jain was born in 1959 in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. The son of a civil engineer, Naveen Jain did not grow up in affluence. As a child and young man, Naveen Jain witnessed firsthand the dire effects of poverty and illiteracy, especially upon women and children.
