The Gujarat State Govt.has recognized the council for grant in aid. Along with education the Council provides comprehensive information about various welfare scheme started by the State Govt./Central Govt. so that the members of S.C & S.T classes can benefit. The Council believes that the best way to help S.C & S.T classes is to make them well educated, well informed and well assisted by social organizations like ours. Any cash doles that may be given can be of temporary help only, whereas the activities mentioned above would bring a qualitative difference in their lives.
