We are extremely happy to present the account of our teen-age College situated in a small village called, Kakanpur District Panchmahals, Central Gujarat with a historical background as it was known as Kankavati Nagari in the ancient days, the home-town of Rani Rukshamani.
An Arts College had emerged just as a small seed piercing the ground sprouts out in the form of a little delicate bud. Four Hundred Twenty Eight students from different surrounding villages made the sight extremely exciting and electrifying the atmosphere of a high school building where the college remained vibrant for a year and then was soon shifted to its newly built building which the Trust had constructed in a record time with a fairly good infrastructure – thanks to our two most respected Donors Shri Kalidas Kotecha & Shri Deepachand Gardi whom the management convinced to come forward with great donations for a college in a small village.
The rising of Sarvoday Charitable Trust in a small village of just 7000 people was as miraculous as capturing the Sun in a tiny dew drop. The Trust was established in 1988 by a few members of an enlightened family of Shri Mathurdas Gulabchanddas Shah who were gifted with divine madness of kindling a flame of knowledge amidst the strong breeze of ignorance and illiteracy in one of the most backward districts of Gujarat called Panchmahals. The Trust, which began with a capital of mere rupees three hundred, has now assets worth rupees three Crores. This is indeed phenomenal. The soil of the village called Kakanpur and the spirit of some dedicated sons of the soil made this miracle happen.
The trust had an apparent aim to educate and enlighten the poor, needy, helpless and hapless people of the Panchmahals by kindling the flame of knowledge through a number of educational institutions so that nobody ever suffers the infamy and insult of being uneducated and the blot of being backward … so that the students after having taken education in these institutions can walk with their head high and can compete and combat any adverse situation.
