SPRJ Kanyashala Trust is a charitable institution that has been providing free school education to underprivileged girls in Mumbai since 1924. Over the years, the Trust has helped thousands of girls to receive an education and improve their lives.
It all began in the 1920s, in an era where opportunities for girls’ education did not exist. A woman meant little to society except for her ability to please her husband and most importantly have male children.
Shri Durlabhjibhai Khetani, an industrialist, a freedom fighter and a social activist, resolved to start a school in Ghatkopar, near his residence. Inspired by a Jain Muni Shri Pandit Ratnachandraji Maharaj, he, Shri Nyalchandbhai Sheth and Shri Jagjivanbhai Dayal who shared his revolutionary and daring vision started a school to educate girls. The founders believed that there cannot be a cultured society without educating women and that when you educate a woman you educate two families and the benefits pass down to the next generation.
