Mohini Jain, an Indian-origin Philanthropist has endowed $1.5 million to US University to study Jain religion at the University of California.
She was a research scientist at the University of California, Davis during 1980's and later served as the High school science teacher for 19 years.
"In our multicultural, global world, it is important to escape boxed-in points of view," Jain told the media.
"This gift will further diversify and strengthen our expertise in world religions and is another step toward UC Davis serving as a leader in India religions and Asia studies globally," chairperson of the religious studies department and associate professor of religious studies and comparative literature, Archana Venkatesan said.
