INTRODUCTION

LoksevaSamaj Trust was established in the year 1986 by renowned social worker and philanthropist leader Late MsShantabenChavda. The trust has been started with a noble thought to help the poor and downtrodden class of the society who otherwise cannot think of getting good education for their children and cannot afford facility for good living during their course of study. In fact, it was a strong belief of Late MsShantaben and all the trustees as well that education can bring revolution in the lives of poor and backward people. They can lead a respectable life for them and their families.

So the major focus of the trust has always been the promotion of the education of weaker sections of the society and also fulfilling their needs to the best possible extent. In the process, the trust had identified the Maliyasan village at 15 km distance from Rajkot city on Rajkot Ahmedabad highway. A residential school was planned at this place which is also known as Ashramshala.

Two other places were also identified in Rajkot city and nearby Maliyasan village where separate good residential hostel facility for girls and boys were planned. The dream of starting such facilities came true when a residential school at Maliyasan was started in June 1990 and hostel facilities at Rajkot were started in June 1986 for girls and in June 2002 for boys.

However, lot of activities with up gradation of these buildings and facilities therein remain to be done. Especially after the very sad loss of MsShantaben, trust has suffered a major setback. The present trustees DrL.K.Chavda and MrsArunabenChavda took up the challenge and have been running the activities efficiently to their best possible efforts and resources. With the advancement and modernization of education and society as a whole, lot of plans remain to be executed in the existing infrastructures. The following report highlights the activities of the trust and the immediate requirements for facelift of the existing buildings in terms of financial requirement and other resources as well.

OUR MISSION, AIM AND VISION

Mission:

Our mission is to promote a sense of self-esteem, dignity and self-worth in empowered children from economically backward families through solidarity, collective action and mutual support.

Aim:

Our aim is to create education as an important tool to enable girl children to participate in decision-making that affects their lives to improve their social status.
We aim to help poor children and their families to escape the cycle of poverty through residential school education programs.
We also aim to encourage children to flourish their learning skills and develop their human qualities.

Vision:

Empowerment of socio-economically challenged children through provision of holistic educational facility leading to betterment of community and the nation

MAJOR ACTIVITIES OF THE TRUST

Shree LoksevaSamaj Trust works in the field of education and social services through residential educational facilities for underprivileged poor boys and girls who belong to socio-economically challenged communities of rural Gujarat. We firmly believe that education is true wealth of every human being. In a natural calamity a man/woman may lose everything but education is never lost.

Everything lost in life can be regained with educational qualification. An educated girl is an asset to her family. She may not work after her marriage but under adverse circumstances, she can play a leading role to support her whole family. So, education can bring revolution in the lives of poor and backward people. Such children after graduation can bring change in their lives and their social status can be that of a respectable human being in the society.

Considering the above facts, we started a residential school popularly known as “Ashramshala” with teachers’ quarters, a boys’ hostel, primary school building and a Girls’ hostel “Dalibai Girls’ Hostel”. The details of each activity are as follows:

  1. Dalibai Girls’ Hostel:This hostel building is situated in Rajkot city. There are 120 girls from rural Rajkot and surrounding places i.e. Junagadh, Amreli, and Surendranagar districts. These girls are from poor socioeconomic strata of society. Our trust provides free lodging and boarding to these girls. The social welfare department of government of Gujarat provides the financial support at present. This hostel is running since 30 years.
  2. At Maliyasan village: One Ashramshala (residential school) and hostel for high school boys are being run at Maliyasan village. This village is at 15 km distance from Rajkot city on Rajkot-Ahmedabad highway.
  • A residential school for boys and girls at Maliyasan village is being run for students of standard 1 to 7. There are 126 students (100 boys and 26 girls) residing and studying here at present. Here food, stay and education to all children is provided free of cost. Financial support to this program is received from government of Gujarat.
  • Boys’ Hostel at Maliyasan: There are 26 high school students residing in this separate hostel building at present. All these students attend high school at Maliyasan only. Thousands of children have been benefited by this Ashramshala and Dalibai hostel so far. Many students have become professionals like engineers, doctors, lawyers, professors and businessmen.

REQUIREMENTS FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT

  • The existing facilities are not adequate. After more than 30 years today, the buildings need to be renovated. We need good basic facilities for students in school as well as hostels. The existing bathrooms and toilet facilities are not in good condition and need to be re-built now. At present, the toilet and bathroom facilities in school are common for boys and girls. We need to build separate such facilities for boys and girls to provide privacy for girl students.
  • A plan for new building has been prepared where separate bathroom-toilet facilities for boys and girls are provided. In hostels, we plan for attached bathrooms and toilets for girls. Similarly, we wish to provide separate such facilities for high school boys.
  • In addition, we wish to provide the students with 120 bunk beds for 240 children. In addition, we will also need good new mattresses, bed sheets and new pillows.
  • A residential hall along with a women empowerment development room for various activities is also being planned at Dalibai hostel.
  • In addition, we need to total renovation of the existing Dalibai hostel building i.e. painting, the hostel, kitchen, warden quarter, watchman quarter, dining hall and the compound wall.
  • We need to construct a good fencing around the Ashramshala at Maliyasan spread in land of 3 acres.
