He donated INR - 1,05,0001 in the currency of that time, with the help of which Wireless Telegraphy course was first to start in this campus & in the country!

We provide ample platforms to the students for enabling them to participate in various Technical, Spiritual, Sports, Social Welfare and cultural activities/events. I feel privileged to state that, having imbibed ethical values along with technical education our "Team Kartavya" (comprising of 300 plus students) has bagged i-SCALE 2016 Award from Gujarat Technological University for the best social welfare contributors in the state.
