• Developed by two engineers of Indian Railways
PC, Bihari and Swami Das in association with
Principal Dr. Kamran of CMS Lucknow
• They were inspired and facilitated by Jagdish
Gandhi, who founded CMS after his visit to Japan,
where he learned about Kaizen
• World's first SQC was made in CMS Lucknow with then-13-

• CMS has continued to conduct international conventions on
student quality circles every two years. After seeing its
utility, educators from many countries started such circles.
