About Vekariya Business Organisation
Vekariya Parivar Trust was officially established in 2004 with the noble vision of uniting Vekariya families across Gujarat, India, and the world. The foundation of the trust was laid by Mr. Shivlal Vekariya, a prominent leader who served as the Member of Parliament (M.P.) representing Rajkot for two terms. His vision of bringing the Vekariya community together began as early as 1990-2000, with a mission to foster unity, education, and social welfare.
Mr. Shivlal Vekariya is widely regarded as a pioneer of Kanya Kelvani (Girl Child Education) in the Saurashtra region, making remarkable contributions to promoting education and social upliftment.
Our Journey
The trust's journey started with extensive tours across various villages, talukas, and cities, where volunteers gathered information and connected with Vekariya families. By 2004, the trust had compiled data of over 2600 families from Rajkot, Surat, and Kutch.
In 2009, the trust launched the website vekariyaparivar.org to make this data accessible to all. However, due to limited internet access in smaller towns and villages, the initiative's reach remained restricted.
In 2015, the trust was revitalized with a younger, more enthusiastic team committed to spreading the legacy of Vekariya Parivar across the globe.
Our Vision
Mr. Shivlal Vekariya firmly believes that strengthening families leads to a stronger nation. The trust's core motto is: "Together We Progress". Our aim is to:
- Unite Vekariya families worldwide.
- Promote education and health awareness.
- Provide financial and medical assistance to the needy.
- Encourage knowledge sharing among intellectuals in the community.
- Strengthen social bonds and uplift the socio-economic status of families.
