Narendra Kumar Jain has been running a water pipelines business for several years. As a Rotarian, he has been serving society for more than three decades, working for the welfare of malnourished children and inspiring the younger generation to adopt a \"Why can't we?\" attitude towards life.

Former District Governor of Rotary International District 3040, Narendra Kumar Jain, has been running Jain Tubes, a water pipeline business based in Bhopal, for the last 50 years.

The company specializes in water pipeline solutions, undertaking projects that transport water from rivers and other water bodies to central storage and overhead tanks. In addition to pipeline installation, Jain Tubes also provides pipeline fitting services and round-the-clock emergency repair work for damaged and leaking pipelines. Over the years, the company has expanded its operations, establishing a strong presence across India.

Sharing more about his work, Narendra Kumar Jain says that Jain Tubes, founded by his father, is now being managed by him along with his son, continuing the family's legacy of serving the water infrastructure sector.

He explains that the company provides water pipeline solutions across nearby cities, districts, and states. Specializing in pipeline systems and ductor automation, Jain Tubes undertakes projects that transport water from rivers to water treatment plants and from treatment plants to overhead storage tanks, ensuring a reliable supply of water to households.

In addition to installation, the company also provides pipeline fitting and maintenance services. Whenever there is a disruption in the water supply due to damaged or leaking pipelines, the team undertakes overnight repair work to restore the flow of water to homes as quickly as possible.

Talking about his association with Rotary, PDG Rotarian Narendra Kumar Jain shares that he became a member of the Rotary Club of Bhopal South in 1994 under the guidance of Past District Governor Praful Maheshwari, whose encouragement inspired him to join Rotary. His dedication to Rotary and community service continued to grow over the years, and in 2014–2015, he had the honour of serving as the District Governor of Rotary International District 3040.

Highlighting one of the projects closest to his heart during his tenure as District Governor, Narendra Kumar Jain shares that he had always been deeply concerned about the issue of child malnutrition. Determined to make a meaningful difference, he began gathering information from government departments and public representatives. During this process, he learned that in 2014–2015, the state had nearly 40,000 malnourished children.

Although the challenge seemed overwhelming, Jain chose to begin where he could make the greatest impact—within Rotary District 3040. From 1 July 2014, he, along with his team of Rotarians, launched a dedicated initiative to identify and support malnourished children across the district. The team regularly visited villages, schools, learning centres, and homes, closely monitoring the children's health and nutritional progress throughout the year.

Through consistent follow-ups, community participation, and sustained efforts, the initiative gradually brought positive results. The number of severely malnourished children within Rotary District 3040 began to decline, transforming what initially appeared to be an impossible task into one of the most meaningful achievements of his tenure.

Born and brought up in Indore, Narendra Jain spent his early years in the Malharganj tehsil of the district. During those days, his father ran a wholesale medicine business. Later, the family shifted to Bhopal, where his father started a new business dealing in pipes and sanitaryware. To support his father, Narendra Jain also moved to Bhopal. Alongside his studies, he actively assisted in the family business, gradually gaining hands-on experience and becoming an integral part of its growth. Continuing this legacy, his son now also works alongside him, carrying the family business forward.

As he continued building his career and supporting the family business, another dream quietly took shape in his heart. Looking back on his association with Rotary, he recalls a moment that still fills him with nostalgia. Around 1977–1978, while living in Indore, a young Narendra was cycling through the city's streets when he reached Ravindra Bhawan (Ravindra Natya Grah), where a program was being held. Standing outside the auditorium, he watched the event with admiration. The Rotary wheel displayed at the venue caught his attention and inspired him to dream of becoming a part of such meaningful initiatives, though he was unaware at the time that it was a Rotary program.

Years later, in 1992, destiny brought him face-to-face with Rotarian Ramesh Malik. During their meeting, Jain noticed a Rotary pin on his shirt, instantly bringing back the memories of that childhood moment and giving new meaning to the dream he had carried for years. Finally, in 1994, with the guidance of Ramesh Malik, Narendra Kumar Jain became a member of Rotary Club Bhopal South, founded by Praful Maheshwari, turning a long-cherished aspiration into reality.

Talking about his role models and inspiration, business owner Narendra Jain shares that he has learnt many valuable lessons from his father, Manohar Lal Tongia. Under his father's guidance and advice, he received many opportunities to grow in life. He says that his father never dismissed his wishes and always supported and fulfilled them. Jain further shares that his father had been actively involved in social work since the beginning. Inspired by his father's dedication to serving society, he also chose to follow in his footsteps and continue the tradition of social service, giving full credit to his father for being his greatest inspiration.

Speaking about his role models in Rotary, Rotarian Narendra Kumar Jain shares that he received immense support from the late Praful Kumar Maheshwari, Past District Governor and member of Rotary Club Bhopal South who was the Editor-In-Chief of the Nav Bharat newspaper. Under his guidance and mentorship, Narendra Jain grew in his path of social service. Beginning as a Rotary member, he gradually took on greater responsibilities and went on to serve as District Governor and in several higher positions in his Rotary career. He credits the late Praful Kumar Maheshwari for being his guiding light throughout his association with Rotary.

Sharing a message for everyone, RC Bhopal South Member Narendra Kumar Jain says that since childhood, he has always believed in dreaming big and setting clear goals in life. He never accepted the idea that something cannot be achieved. Instead, he always questioned, \"Why can't we achieve it?\" According to him, there is no reason to have a limited mindset when we have the ability to think beyond boundaries.

He believes that people often say, \"We can't do it,\" without even trying. Instead, we should ask ourselves, \"Why can't we do it?\" This positive way of thinking helps us overcome challenges and change situations that may seem impossible. Rotary Member Narendra Jain encourages everyone to dream big, think positively, and keep moving forward in life. As he says, \"Always dream big, think positive, and grow in life.\"

Speaking about social service and its impact on an individual, social worker Narendra Jain shares that whether it is Rotary, Lions club, Jain Samaj, Brahman Samaj, or any other organisation, one should join them with a genuine feeling of serving society and helping others. He explains that when we dedicate ourselves to social service, our nature gradually becomes more simple and humble. Working for the welfare of others gives us happiness and positive energy.

Narendra Jain believes that social service also helps in reducing emotional stress and improves overall well-being, as it gives a sense of satisfaction that we have done something meaningful for society. According to him, if we continue serving social causes with sincerity, it not only keeps our thoughts positive but also strengthens our patience, intentions, working capacity, and our physical health.

Concluding with a message for the younger generation, Rotarian Narendra Jain encourages every young person to move forward with honesty and dedication. He says that whatever work we do, it should be done with the intention of serving our country and contributing to the development of our city.

Jain Pipes Owner Narendra Kumar Jain believes that we should always have the mindset of saying, \"We can do it,\" instead of thinking, \"We cannot do it.\" According to Narendra Jain, if we work with honesty, maintain a positive attitude, and remain committed to our goals, success will surely follow.
