Late Mr. Jethalal S. Zaveri, who was the founder Director of Bharat Bijlee Ltd.  He was amongst the first in the country to have entered into foreign collaboration with a giant in the field when the Bharat Bijlee tied up with Siemens (Germany) in 1959.

He was described as Bhishma Pitamaha of the Indian Electrical Industry in India.

“Economic development and oversupply of consumer goods cannot reduce violence and crime.  On the contrary, they can be instrumental in increasing them.  The future of humanity lies in a balanced development of work, wealth and self-restraint.  Labour and wealth represent the basic aspects of life.  On the other hand, self-restraint represents life’s spiritual aspect.  A mentally steady life is impossible to conceive if education or training is not based on all the three.”  - Acharya Shri Mahaprajna. 

He has contributed to the community by way of conducting hundreds of Preksha Dhyan Shibirs (Meditation camps) all over India.

At the time of his death after taking the Samadhi.  A poem in a newspaper:

"Death, be not proud, Though some have called thee, Mighty and dreadful, For thou art not so, For those, Whom thou thinkst Thou dost overthrow, Die not, poor death, not yet canst Thou kill me, Death, thou shalt die"...
