een successful in establishing Gujarat's Largest Education
Trust!
Like an ascetic, he has illumined not only the discipline of
education but also the benchmarks of community services.
Students, lecturers and other employees work under the
guidance of Chhotubhai when natural disasters strike. In this
regard, Chhotubhai says : “Whether Orrisa or Latur has been
affected by an earthquake, or whether there is excessive
rainfall or a draught, we always try to be helpful to people in
their hard times. When earthquake struck in Kachhchh, we
spent the entire money to build all the schools in the seven
villages around Dholavira. All the primary schools were
named after Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. For this cause, we
received support from Kaushikbhai Patel of Bharat Patidar
Samaj and Town Club, Vallabh Vidyanagar.”
Like in the times of natural disasters, Chhotubhai is
always ready to help in the time of man-made disasters. As a
result, he made necessary arrangement for the education of
kashmiri children who were orphaned by the terrorist attacks.
Talking about that, Chhotubhai says :
“Those were the initial years of New Vidyanagar… During
that time Godharakand shoot all of us and the members of
Rajmohan Gandhi's Mission for Peace came to me. Two of the
members were from Kashmir. I just told them that where they
had come was an educational town. We work for the
