The
Lalla-Ded Educational and Welfare Trust was
founded in Mumbai in the year 1995 and registered as
a Charitable Educational Organisation with the
Charity Commissioner, Thane, Maharashtra, India,
under Registration No. E-1715 (Thane).
Main
objectives of the Trust interalia are :
- To
establish and conduct educational institutions,
both academic and technical.
- To
promote & propagate Kashmiri language and
culture.
- To
start Scholarships, Interest-free Loans, Prizes
and Financial Assistance to students to help
them in their studies.
The
Trust is managed by a Board of Trustees through a 5
member Parent Body and a 10 member Managing
Committee. Shri M. L. Shalia is the head of Parent
Body and Shri M. L. Mattoo is the elected head of
Managing Committee as also the Cha.mp3an of the
Trust. Parent Body is a p.mp3anent body, meant to
oversee the working of the Trust. Managing Committee
is to be reconstituted every three years as per
Byelaws of the Trust, by electing members from the
Board of Trustees.
A
start in the direction of establishing educational
institution, has already been made by introducing a
Nursery, for which a small accommodation has been
purchased at Virar, a Mumbai suburb. This will
be upgraded step by step in accordance with the
government regulations. The Trust intends to acquire
a plot of land in suburban Mumbai for its future
expansion plans. This will be done as soon as the
funds are available, which we hope to raise through
donations.
Presently,
the Trust has, in collaboratrion with Kashmiri
Pandits' Association, Mumbai, embarked upon a
prestigious programme named 'Project ZAAN'. Under
this programme, young biradari members are furnished
with related Information under various captions, so
as to arouse curiosity and interest in our
youngsters in their entity as such. Identity crisis,
all of us would agree with least contradictions, is
a predominant dilemma facing the community. It is in
this pursuit that the Trust, in consonance with the
provisions of its constitution, has taken up the
Project.
