Aim for Seva's Free Student Hostels


Minto Jain joined Mississagua, Canada’s Kingsway Real Estate Brokerage, Inc., as a real estate broker in 2014. When he is not helping clients buy or sell property, Minto Jain engages with charitable organizations such as Aim for Seva. Through his arrangement with Aim for Seva, he supports the education of one child every year in perpetuity.

Aim for Seva, an extension of the All India Movement (AIM), is a nongovernmental organization that focuses on providing educational opportunities to children in some of the country’s most remote and underserved regions. Aim for Seva maintains a number of unique programs and services, including free student hostels throughout the country.

The inability to easily access educational facilities ranks as one of the primary reasons that nearly 17.7 million children do not attend school. Free student hostels provide individuals with much more than a safe place to stay in close proximity to school. Additional benefits include tuition support, health care, and school uniforms. 

Students also attend diverse after-school programs, from athletic activities like yoga and cricket to vocational pursuits such as computer literacy and English language training. To learn more about student hostels and the Aim for Seva program, visit www.aimforseva.org.

Nuclear Medicine Offers Physicians Valuable Diagnostic Information


An entrepreneur and a licensed real estate broker from Mississauga, Ontario, Dr. Minto Jain also has experience as a professor of surgery at Queens University. As a co-owner of Medical Imaging Centres (MIC), Dr. Minto Jain has helped the company expand into the area of Nuclear Medicine.

Physician-owned MIC offers diagnostic imaging services to patients. In addition to X-ray, ultrasound, mammography, fluoroscopy, cardiac testing, and bone mineral densitometry services, it offers nuclear medicine services.

Nuclear medicine involves giving a patient a small amount of radioactive material, known as radiotracers, to ingest. The material can be injected intravenously, inhaled, or swallowed. After the material has traveled to the correct organs, a gamma camera is utilized to observe the function of internal systems.

Less invasive than exploratory surgery, nuclear medicine allows physicians to observe the molecular function of a patient’s systems and identify serious conditions in their earliest stages. The information provided during a nuclear medicine procedure is unlike the data provided by any other diagnostic test.

A nuclear medicine procedure can last anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours. Patients typically return to normal activities within the same day. Over time, the radioactive material will naturally decay and exit the body.
