Our Whole family has deep feelings for Shree Khambhat Dasha Modh Adalja Vank Pragati Mandal, Mumbai. My father Shri Chunilal Girdharlal and Shri Ratilal Harilal Chokhavatia were the first founder members. As per their proposal they gathered the other community members and founded mandal. The few leaders of the thinly populated suburbs had a dream to create the facilities of imparting quality education and other needy activities. During the fifty years of our journey we have many achievements and recognitions. We have not ended here, as we have desired our goal to diversify in various fields and further improvements in present facilities including changing in infrastructure of needs and future. Today, when we look back we have a sense of satisfaction for what have been achieved. I must say these achievements would not have been possible without the vision of the past. How can we forget the contribution of Late Shri Kakalbhai for free distribution of notebooks since years and Babulal Brothers for allowing their premises for our mandal as registered office. This year is the Golden Jubilee Year of our Mandal. It is in the fitness of things that on this occasion souvenir is necessary. It is not an easy task particularly to gather the past and present contributories. This journey would not have been possible without the sincere efforts of our President Smt. Smitaben Shah, Vice President Shri Gopal Gandhi, all office bearers and all the committee members, support to reach upto this journey. Our blessings are with all of you.
