Manav Kalyan Trust (MKT) is a Charitable Trust in Gujarat that provides education, training and rehabilitation totally free of cost to children with hearing, speech and vision impairment and also to children with intellectual and physical disabilities with the objective of making these Special Children of God self sufficient and contribute to the communities to which they belong. It was founded in 1971 by Shri Mahesh Kothari, a visionary philanthropist with great empathy for the differently abled. MKT has under its flagship the Mamta Mandir at Navsari which constitutes residential schools for the hearing and speech impaired and the intellectually challenged children and a vocational training and rehabilitation centre for these children to learn skills to become gainful members of the society. In addition, there is the Pragnya Mandir in the most economically and educationally backward tribal area of Dang which has a residential school for the vision impaired and physically disabled children at Shivarimal. All these institutions provide excellent facilities and well designed campuses to meet the needs of Special Children. From its humble beginnings with 8 children, today MKT is dedicated to the service of almost 700 special children across its various institutions, and that too at no cost to the families of the beneficiaries

Mr. Jayprakash U. Mehta, our guest on the Podcast, is a Trustee of Manav Kalyan Trust for over two decades. He gave up his banking career 8 years early in 2001 to serve the community. In addition to MKT, he is also a Trustee of the Shri Sayaji Vaibhav Library in Navsari, which is acclaimed to be one of the best libraries in the State of Gujarat from where the “Vanche Gujarat” campaign originated. He gets immense pleasure in serving the Special Children of God at MKT.

We appreciate the efforts of the Trustees and the entire MKT Parivar for their dedication in carrying forward the legacy of the Founder, Shri Mahesh Kothari and bringing smiles to hundreds of faces, hope to thousands of hearts and a purpose to millions of lives.
