Settlors

Late Ved Prakash Agrawal

Smt Gayatri Devi Agrawal

Late Shri Ved Prakash was married to Smt. Gayatri Devi daughter of Late Shri Sitaram Agrawal and Smt. Bittan Devi who hailed from Allahabad city.

Considering that both of the brothers were held in esteem by the village community and had made an impact on the social life of local populace, the whole concept of Trust in the fond memory of Shri Prakash Chand and Shri Jugmander Das, was developed by Shri Manmohan Agrawal, eldest son of Late Shri Ved Prakash Agrawal and hence the name of trust. Accordingly, Late Shri Ved Prakash and Smt. Gayatri Devi settled this trust in favor of following trustees namely Shri Gopal Das Agrawal, Shri Jagadish Prasad Agrawal (younger brothers of Smt Gayatri Devi), Shri Man Mohan Agrawal, their son and Shri Ramesh Chand Agrawal (a native of Sarsa and family friend).

The trust is dedicated towards the welfare of the public at large within the district of Allahabad as its principal area of operation. Although the objectives are manifold, currently the trust is focused upon education and Medicare by providing scholarships to needy students, organizing essay competitions, helping schools/institutions by funding infrastructure such as water coolers, sanitary facilities etc.

The trust is being managed by a wide board with persons of integrity and competence and within a short period of approximately 9 Years of active operations committed a sum of Rs. 191 Lakhs towards its avowed objectives.

Year 2020-21 was a very low activity year on account of Covid-19. During Pandemic, the Trust lost Dr Rita Purwar, a Trustee and its Key person Shri S. K. Nandi.
