Shri Charotar Moti Sattavis Patidar Kelavani Mandal, Anand : Century old
Social Service Tradition
Charotar
is a region in Southern Gujarat. The region is known for nurturing great
ideals, values, characters, and patriots. One of such great sons of the Charotar is Shri Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the iron man of India.
Patels or Patidars who belong to this region of Charotar are industrious
agriculturists. They are development mongers and go out of their way to
contribute to the development of the society, the Samaj and the nation
as a whole. With a view to provide selfless service to the society, the
Patidars set up Shri Charotar Moti Sattavis Leuva Patidar
Samaj – Matrusanstha in 1895. Patidars were wont to spending huge amount on
the marriage ceremony of their daughters that led to the bankruptcy of
the parents. This made them sell off their land to keep up the pomp and
grandeur and through them to keep up the status symbol in the society.
Matrusanstha initiated the tradition of mass marriages – a revolutionary idea in those
days to avoid this spending. It also initiated youth fairs and
managed a marriage bureau. For the benefit of the community, Matrusanstha set up a cultural development centre – Shree Pramukh
Swami Sanskrutik Kendra at Piplag. For the
facility of the students, it constructed a boy’s hostel at Vallabh Vidyanagar –
Shri Chhotabhai Bhikhabhai Patel Chhatralaya. These
activities ceaselessly continue till today.
In
1991, the concept of Liberalization and Globalization opened up new
horizons of development. It was the onset of the era of knowledge. To
help the young generation of the community and the society maintain pace
with the growth of education and the market in the global village
scenario, the stalwarts of Shri Charotar Moti Sattavis Leuva Patidar
Samaj - Matrusanstha decided to set up a separate Trust for
education. This was the birth of Shri Charotar Moti Sattavis Patidar
Kelavani Mandal.
It
was then decided to dedicate Shri Charotar Moti Sattavis Patidar
Kelavani Mandal as an entity to uplift education in rural area. With a
predetermined dynamic mission and vision, Kelavani Mandal
began its modus operandi. Shri Charotar Moti Sattavis Patidar Kelavani
Mandal, Anand was registered as a Public Trust. With a well
planned approach and continuous effort towards the
achievement of the mission, Kelavani Mandal has been working tirelessly for the
society.
