    At Pitara, we salute our spiritual consultant, whose ideas work as beacons giving direction to our work. Late Shri Ratan Lal Jaiman was an educationist, teacher, Gandhian and philosopher who inspired more than one generation to learn and to live fruitful lives.

    In the Pitara team we must include the name of Siddharth Jaiman and Damini Jaiman. When Pitara was launched in 1998, 4-year-old Siddharth was our inspiration and Quality Control Manager. Today, his sister Damini (age 6), is an enthusiastic contributor of ideas, illustrations, comments and suggestions that keep the Pitara editorial team on their toes.
