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.

Master of Health Professions Education Degree Program at UIC

Though he is currently a real estate broker with Kingsway Real Estate Brokerage, Minto Jain is a trained physician as well. Minto Jain holds several advanced medical degrees, including a Master of Health Professions Education from the University of Chicago.

At the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Chicago, students who possess at least a bachelor's degree in a health professions discipline may qualify to participate in the Master of Health Professions Education program. This degree is designed to provide managerial and educational training to health professionals in order to prepare them for a role in healthcare leadership.

The program takes a broad and multifaceted approach to healthcare education. When participants attain their MHPE, they possess strong skills in leadership, negotiation, and conflict resolution. They are accomplished in both small and large group teaching, as well as curriculum development and program evaluation. Graduates are expected to evaluate information critically, and successfully communicate through both oral and written channels.

A Brief Overview of the Mississauga Half Marathon

 

A graduate of the University of Chicago, where he earned his MHPE (master of health professions education), Minto Jain has served as a real estate broker since 2014. Minto Jain enjoys running and has run the Mississauga Half Marathon three times.

Created in 2004, the Mississauga Marathon is held each year in Ontario. A participant in the Scotiabank Charity Challenge, the marathon organization has raised more than $700,000 for 60 charities across the country.

Dedicated to becoming the top running event in Canada, the Mississauga Marathon offers a range of options for all abilities and experience levels, from a 2K fun run to a half marathon and full marathon. With an elevation decline of nearly 100 meters from the start of the race to its end, the Mississauga half marathon covers 21.5 kilometers.

The 2017 half marathon will be held May 7, beginning and ending at the same points as the full marathon but without its lengthy loop. To keep runners safe, officials maintain aid stations approximately every four kilometers. The half marathon is open to both runners and walkers.

How to Make Running More Interesting and Easier

Minto Jain earned his MHPE at the University of Chicago, Illinois, where he studied education. Currently, Minto Jain is a real estate broker at Kingsway Real Estate Brokerage, Inc., in Mississauga, California, where he prospects his own leads to bring in business. When away from real estate, he enjoys running.

Running when you’re a beginner can be quite challenging. After you’ve been running a while, you may wonder how you can make it more interesting and exciting. The sport can quickly come to feel like a chore when you go for a run in the same neighborhood each day. Choosing different scenic routes every time you run, or at least on some of your runs, is sure to keep the activity fresh. By varying your route you may not even notice how fast the minutes are going by, as you will be too focused on taking in your new surroundings.

Aside from finding new scenery, you can make running a bit easier by strengthening your quads. The stronger your quadriceps are, the easier it will be to lift your legs during a run. In addition, quad strengthening is essential for protecting your knees. A quick exercise you can do when you are sitting down begins by putting one of your ankles over the other. Next, lift your lower leg off the floor and straighten it 10 times. Try doing multiple sets with both legs. If you’re doing it correctly, you will feel the burn right above your knee.

Banff’s Superlative Ski Resorts in the Canadian Rockies

 



An experienced Ontario entrepreneur, Minto Jain has a longstanding interest in fitness and maintains a vegetarian diet with his family. In his free time, he enjoys running and has competed in the Mississauga Half Marathon on three occasions. Minto Jain also cycles regularly and enjoys winter skiing trips to premier destinations such as Aspen, Whistler, Vail, and Banff.

Situated within Alberta’s scenic Canadian Rocky Mountains, Banff offers three distinct choices for ski enthusiasts, including Mount Norquay, which is only a few minutes from town. Known as the oldest ski resort in Canada, the slopes opened in 1926 and offer some outstanding mogul runs within a compact area. The area also features the only night skiing in Banff.

Lake Louise is a much larger resort that encompasses in excess of 130 trails and is widely considered to be in the same caliber as Whistler. Advanced skiers access some of the most scenic vistas in the park across glacier-carved Bow Valley. Beginning skiers can also ride on these lifts and simply enjoy the view from the top.

A third major option is Sunshine Village, which is situated relatively remotely and offers many of the park’s highest altitude trails. This storied resort has a history extending to the 1920s, when Canadian Pacific Railways built cabins in the area in support of train operations.

AIM for SEVA - Creating of Free Students Homes Across India

Dr. Minto Jain is a respected Ontario professional who has overseen a prominent chain of imaging clinics and also has served as assistant professor of surgery at Queens University in Kingston. Dr. Minto Jain maintains an active community presence and engages in fundraising activities for AIM for SEVA, a Canadian nonprofit committed to enabling access to quality education for children spanning the globe. 

A particular focus of AIM for SEVA is the empowerment of youth in underprivileged rural areas of India, where child labor is common and abject poverty a fact of life. One of the major success stories of AIM for SEVA has been the creation of 100 hostels, known as Free Students Homes (FSH), in India that provide lodging to more than 3,500 children. The program offers a pathway toward a full education and productive career for youth who have been orphaned or suffer from marginal existences with minimal family support. 

The FSH program is part of an AIM for SEVA “All India Movement,” which has been likened to a banyan tree that spreads its branches across the country. The ultimate aim is to have at least one hostel in each of India’s 640 districts, with a total capacity that meets the needs of 320,000 young learners.
