What They're Saying
For 25 years with the Gyan Prabodhini project, I’ve found profound fulfillment, especially having been inspired by my parents’ work with the Nagar Primary Education Committee. A standout moment was anchoring an event with Sant Shiromani Moraribapu, a cherished experience. Visiting the homes of children supported by the Trust, with Anjalibhabhi joining us each year, has been deeply touching. This long-term involvement has taught me the significance of handling every interaction with sensitivity and warmth, enriching my engagement with people from all walks of life.
Mr Jayesh Bhatt
Committee Member, Gyan Prabodhini Project
For 25 years, I’ve been a committee member of the Gyan Prabodhini project run by the Trust, taking pride in their dedication to providing financial aid to students. Being part of this initiative from its inception, I’ve witnessed over 300 economically disadvantaged yet talented children benefit, which brings me great joy. This involvement has taught me the value of engaging in charitable activities and inspired me to use my skills and talents to help others.
Mr Himmatlal Malaviya
Committee Member, Gyan Prabodhini Project
I have been part of the Trust since its establishment on January 12, 1995. Witnessing a student from the Gyan Prabodhini project, who was preparing for SSC exams while living in a small room, deeply moved me and underscored the Trust’s commendable efforts to uplift needy children. The joy on children’s faces during the Baal Sangam program, as they enjoyed rides and received gifts, brings us immense happiness. Additionally, the delight of children receiving fireworks kits during Diwali is both wonderful and rare.
Hasubhai Ganatra
Committee Member, Gyan Prabodhini Project
I have been involved with the Trust since its inception. This experience has taught me to understand people’s mental states and has inspired me to offer more help to those in need. Witnessing the joy on young children’s faces during Shri Pujit’s birthday celebrations is an unparalleled and wonderful experience. During site visits for the Gyan Prabodhini Project, seeing the challenging conditions faced by less fortunate individuals is deeply moving, yet I remain grateful for the many blessings we have received. It is truly special to see every worker at the Trust enthusiastically participating in and successfully executing all activities and programs.
Mrs Geeta Jitendra Tanna
Committee Member, Gyan Prabodhini Project
Throughout my involvement with the Trust, I have had many memorable experiences under the various projects. Joining the Trust has instilled in me the principle of “Serve and Be Sensitive.” As a trustee, I have embraced the responsibility of contributing to the Trust’s mission and ensuring its effective operation. The responsibilities have allowed me to grow both personally and professionally while contributing to the betterment of our community.
Mr Mahesh Bhatt
Trustee
I have been involved with the Pujit Rupani Trust and the Gyan Prabodhini Project since their inception, and as we approach 25 years, it feels like I’ve been here from the start. Teaching English to grades 8, 9, and 10 in this project has shown me the importance of contributing to society beyond personal gain, a lesson inspired by the Trust’s mission. The Trust’s dedication has helped many children achieve remarkable success. Students from challenging backgrounds now score between 90-99% and some have even entered in to the IIT , which fills me with immense pride.
