About

After the independence of India in 1947, a Trust was formed in the name of ‘SHREE LEUVA PATIDAAR DALIA GNATI SAMASTA PANCH’ and was registered on 23^rd September, 1952 in the Office of Commissioner of Charities with registration number A-29. Trust office was established on a land known as Dalia Wadi & Nirant Bhavan. Since its inception, Trust is earning income by renting the premises for social, religious functions etc. In the year 1982, old deteriorated tin structure of Nirant Bhavan was demolished and a new big hall of RCC structure was built. From the rent income, Trust provides help to the needy persons of caste.

Trust was also running a Book Bank scheme till 1988. Later, a separate educational Trust was formed by Dalia Panch on 19.12.1988 in the name of ‘ABHYUDAYA VIDHYARTHI SAHAYAK TRUST’ (E-4029) initially with 11 Founder Trustees and 4 Patrons from the Board of Trustees of Dalia Panch (Matru Trust of AVST). In the winter of 1989, Shrimad Bhagwad Parayan was organised to make the newly formed AVST financially healthy and thereby self reliant.

Lots of people participated with great enthusiasm and AVST received tremendous response in collecting hefty amount of donations. Later on, 4 new Trustees were appointed, thereby taking the total Board strength to maximum 15. Subsequently, Book Bank scheme was transferred to the newly formed AVST.

In the year 1988, Trust formed a Committee of 25 young & enthusiastic people on 5^th October basically to look after the premises and day to day working. Trust named the committee as ‘WADI VYAVASTHA COMMITTEE’.

In the year 1989, dynamic committee members decided to abolish and change age old Padia-Patrana dining system. Committee members went to Mumbai on their own to buy dining sets and other utensils of stainless steel in lieu of the age old system of Padia-Patrana and incurred all the expenses initially from their own pockets.

Later on, Trust reimbursed total expenses to the Members who had incurred the amount for purchasing stainless steel metal utensils.

On 22.12.1989, Joint Charity Commissioner approved a prayer for increasing the board strength of Trustees from 11 to 15. Four members from the committee were appointed as New Trustees, thereby taking the total Board strength to maximum 15.

In the year 1996, old and deteriorated wooden structure with tin roofing and walls of lime & clay was knocked down and demolished by 100 odd youngsters of the caste (SHRAM YAGNA). A prayer was made in the office of the Joint Commissioner of Charities for accepting deposits of ₹5,00,000.00 (Rupees Five Lacs only) without interest for five years to meet the construction cost of building New Dalia Wadi. Prayer was approved and people from the caste supported wholeheartedly by giving interest free loan of ₹500000/- for five years.

Dalia Wadi was built within a years’ time with very least number of booking cancellation. By the end of third year of accepting deposits, Trust was in a very good position and returned the full loan amount to the depositors. Most of the depositors re-deposited the amount in Banks and donated the interest amount accrued on deposits to the AVST, for the benefit of students’ education.

Year 2020 was marred by COVID-19 pandemic and the whole world came to a standstill. Obviously, Dalia Wadi Trust was not exceptional. Trust had to face an uphill task to carry out day to day administrative & establishment expenses due to strict COVID-19 lockdowns and government restrictions. There was nearly no business income throughout F.Y. 2020-21. Interest income of Trust was also severely affected because of drastic cuts in interest rates on Fixed Deposits. In spite of all adverse situation, on 3^rd, 2020, Trust freely distributed 146 Kits of ration to the needy families of caste and other extremely poor families. Shri Dwarkeshlalji of Kalyanraiji Mandir honoured the Trust on 19-06-2020 for helping out during pandemic.
