About Us

Year of establishment: 1968 

At a time when basic school and college education was denied to the daughters of our KVO community, this trust attempted to encourage people of our community to provide basic graduation to the girls to empower them and in-turn lead to a sound future of the community. In 1968, this trust was founded by the funds from the community with the support of Family of Shri Devji Khetsee who offered a sum of Rs. 50,000 under the aegis of Shree Kutchi Visa Oswal Sthanakwasi Jain Mahajan. The trust is supported by additional funds from the donors and well-wishers of the community.
