On 7 April his son and the great visionary and philanthropist Shri Suresh Sharma inaugurated the pre-primary section. In the first academic session over 150 students were enrolled. Within one-year, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) accorded accreditation for secondary and senior secondary classes in 1999.
In 1999, Gyan Vihar decided to launch a technical education institution to serve the students at a national level and a new establishment was planned that would adopt and employ new technologies and advances in the field of Science. Thus was born the Gyan Vihar School of Engineering & Technology, which was spread over 32 Acres of land within the municipal limits of Jaipur City. On 19 February 2000 Acharya Shree Purushottam Uttam laid down the foundation stone.
