Every meaningful journey begins with a simple thought that has the power to transform lives. During a visit to a
multispeciality medical camp organised by SRK Knowledge Foundation in the forests of Dang, Shri Govind Dholakia came across an idol of Lord Hanuman placed humbly beneath the shade of a tree. Villagers gathered there in prayer with deep faith, despite having no dedicated place of worship. That moment sparked a vision. Shri Govind Dholakia envisioned creating sacred spaces where every village could come together not only to worship, but to preserve its cultural traditions, strengthen community bonds, and inspire a spirit of service. This vision became the Sankalp to establish 311 Hanumant Sankalp Centres across the villages of Dang. As these Centres came to life, something remarkable began to unfold. They became far more than places of worship. Villages witnessed stronger community bonds, cultural traditions found renewed expression, social initiatives gained momentum, and the Centers evolved into vibrant spaces that brought people together through faith, service, education, and collective participation. Witnessing this transformation, Shri Govind Dholakia realised that the impact of the Sankalp extended far beyond the boundaries of Dang. If these Centers could inspire such meaningful change in one region, they could become a catalyst for community development across the country. This conviction gave rise to a renewed national vision to establish 1111 Hanumant Sankalp Centres across India,
carrying forward the same spirit of faith, service, cultural preservation, and community empowerment from the
forests of Dang to the heart of the nation.
Pure Vivaah
To
strengthen the ‘Family’ spirit of our company and
raise
awareness of mass weddings in the society, Shri
Govind
Dholakia organizes “Mass weddings” since 2015. Till
date,
1000+ couples have tied the knot in the mass weddings.
The “SRK Bhagyalaxmi

provided financial assistance for their
bright future ahead- the aim being to
encourage and save the girl child by
empowering families for better

with this step forward towards
community development and
inspiring the girl child.
Relief operations during disaster calamities :
We take pride in the fact that during natural
calamities, we have rose to the challenge of
managing and restoring disaster-stricken areas. The
villages of Lutavadar and Maniba in Kutch, Gujarat
were fully restored after a devastating earthquake
in 2001. During the Surat floods of 1994, 98, 2002
and 2006 and subsequent plague, SRK was actively
involved in the clean-up movement. During the
Cyclone in Maharashtra in 2020, SRKKF- our CSR arm,
carried out Relief operation by providing 200 food
kits and solar lights in 40 villages of Raigad and
Ratnagiri.
SRK along with Surat
Municipal Corporation (SMC) donated 55 tonnes of
food
materials and grocery kits for the less privileged
in order
to tackle food shortage due to the COVID-19
outbreak. The
kits consisted daily essential food like pulses,
beans,
vegetables, cooking oil, wheat flour, rice, etc.
Contribution to Border Security Force (BSF):
Brave hearts of the Kargil war were commemorated
posthumously by extending financial aid to their
next of kin.
Protecting our Ecological
resources is one of our important responsibilities. We have
built a canal in Dudhala, Saurashtra in Gujarat, and also
constructed 45 check dams in the villages along the canal
route. Tree conservation is supported by our club named,
'Sarjan Youth Club' in Surat.
HIV/AIDS marriage
portal for GSNPP In Aug 2017, Centre for Management of
Health Services (CMHS) of the IIM-A desired to develop a
marriage portal to help find soulmates for people living
with HIV. This was as part of a project for Gujarat state
network of positive people (GSNPP). Govindkaka readily
accepted the proposal and helped setting up this unique
portal which is first of its kind in India.
Tapi River Cleanliness Drive :
After plague epidemic hit Surat, Govindkaka
initiated the activity of cleaning up the Tapi River
under the banner of “Welcome Clearity Club”
To fortify our agrarian
economy, we have launched several Agricultural and allied
industry projects that involve saving water and
energy projects, advanced farming awareness, etc. We have
established helpdesks in remote villages like Lathi in
Gujarat to provide free consulting to farmers on government
policies that can benefit them. Having tied-up with
institutes to take innovative agricultural practices to
farmers in remote places, we organize special seminars and
workshops on best practices in agriculture for the farming
community.
