About Rural immersion programmes and campus retreats
This is JECP's non-founder side, and it is how the campus pays its way as a venue. Rural immersion programmes run three to five days for groups from schools, colleges and universities on the Deoria campus, which sits among farmland and a 300-year-old banyan tree. Corporate retreats combine meditation, team-building and market immersion. The campus is also hired out for conferences, workshops and training. Alongside these, JECP runs awareness work in the community: entrepreneurship awareness sessions, financial awareness sessions with Bombay Stock Exchange experts, a content-creation workshop and a science show, plus cultural and heritage events under the banyan tree.
