Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat (JPK) Education has made an attempt at entering the Limca Book of Records by facilitating 5,700 of its girl students and also those in Mangarh at Pratapgarh District of Uttar Pradesh for the largest largest self-defence demonstration.
According to a statement from the institution on Monday, the feat was performed over the weekend in the presence of Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Anupriya Patel, Actor Randeep Hooda and institution’s President Vishakha Tripathi.

Tripathi said that JKP is committed to supporting the less-advantaged of India and will continue to bring the necessary tools that our community needs to further develop the society towards a brighter future. Also added that These girls will soon be a part of a self confident youth of our society.
