Our Trust

Education is the basic ingredient of all types of development in the society. Educated girls are the backbone of any society. The western part of Rajasthan is economically and educationally under developed. Way back in last decade of last century the conditions of girls education in such families was pathetic and there was very little scope for girls education.Shri Nandkishore Sharda and Maa Basanti Manihar came as savior of these girls. For the Welfare of such deprived girls they started the Swami Vivekanand Students Welfare Charitable Trust on June 10, 1996 with the blessings of Maa Tripurasundari. Maa Basanti Manihar was the founder and Shri Sharda was the first president of the Trust. At that time women empowerment in this part was unheard. After Shri Nandkishore Sharda left for the heavenly abode in 2003, Maa Basanti Manihar took charge as its president and held this responsibility till 2021 beffore leaving for heavenly abode. Since, 2021, Kumari Madhubala Advani is the President of the trust. This Trust is basically for girls studying in schools.

The main guiding principles of the Trust are:

  • No girl wishing to study should be deprived of education for want of money irrespective of her marks, religion, caste, etc.
  • The financial support is exclusively need-based.
  • Administrative expenses are kept as low as possible. They are voluntarily borne by the trustees. Accounts of all the trusts are annually audited and Income Tax exemption under Article 80G has been obtained.
  • Not only trust imparts financial support for education but also act as catalyst for their overall personality development so that they can make a place of pride in society.
  • Education sans morality and ‘sanskar’ is dangerous. Therefore, they should be taught their duties along with their rights so that they can be responsible citizens and contribute to the development of the country
