ABOUT THE FOUNDATION

In 2009, J. K Shanti Society was set up by Mr. Ved Goyal, Mr. Gurdas Bansal & Mr. K.L.Mittal along with the help of close Family and friends. The Society was registered under 80 G with the registrar of societies of Haryana on May 12, 2009. A sister concern under the name of "The Kailash Goyal Foundation" was established on June 11, 2009 in the United States in the memory of the Late Mrs. Kailash Goyal on the same pattern. Funds collected in US by the Kailash Goyal Foundation are transferred to J K Shanti Charitable Society to promote the objectives of the society. All Donations made to the Society are Tax Exempt. Ministry of Home Affairs, New Delhi has granted permanent Registration to receive foreign funds. The Society has two main objectives namely:

1. To provide medical wellness.
2. To provide education to needy and brilliant students.

To achieve its motives the first medical camp was held at Village Ghanour District Patiala and was inaugurated by Sh. Tejinder Pal Singh Sandhu, a well known Socio – Political figure of the area. About 700 patients were examined by six doctors and medicines were given free of cost. The camp was lead by Dr. K.N. Mishra, Ex – Director Ayurvedic Medical College and his team. The doctors also kept a follow up of the patients examined in the camp and free medicine & check up was provided to them regularly by the Society. Two members from Kailash Goyal Foundation USA Mr.Sandeep Aggarwal and Mrs. Ruby G. Aggarwal also participated in the camp and supervised the work.

J.K Shanti Charitable Society in association with The Kailash Goyal Foundation has been running a weekly medical check-up clinic from a rented place at Village Mubarakpur near Dera Bassi since May 2010, where approximately 300 plus patients are examined every week. Free medicine and lab tests facilities are provided to all the patients, with the help of three qualified doctors and para-medical staff. Apart from this, regular medical check-up are held for various ailments like eye diseases, skin diseases, orthopedic problems, etc. Dr. Ram Kumar, retired SMO Dera Bassi, has been providing free guidance and medical check-up for the society. About a year and a half back, seeing the successful operation of the regular medical check-up and camps, a need was felt for having our own clinic. The Society plans to run this clinic at least twice a week and also intends to have in-house lab tests and physio - therapy facilities.

Dr. Ram Kumar, retired SMO Dera Bassi, has been providing free guidance and medical check-up for the society. About a year and a half back, seeing the successful operation of the regular medical check-up and camps, a need was felt for having our own clinic. The project got kick started, when Mr. Sanju Bansal donated the land for the clinic in memory of his late father Mr. Ved Prakash Bansal of Nabha. Then with the help of The Kailash Goyal Foundation and donors of J.K. Shanti Charitable Society, the dream became a reality and the new clinic has been dedicated to the society on 4th May 2013. The clinic was inaugurated by Mr. N.K. Sharma, MLA and Chief Parliament Secretary Punjab along with many dignitaries.

The Society plans to run this clinic at least twice a week and also intends to have in-house lab tests and physio - therapy facilities. Hopefully in the near future we plan to run the clinic all seven days a week. We also plan to start computer classes for high school students of this area.

Now going on to the second objective i.e. education front. As per the aims of the Society, we started funding education to brilliant but underprivileged students, right from June 2009, for studying in professional institutions, for education in the field of engineering, computers, medicine, law & accounts, etc. Eight such students have already graduated and got jobs. Another sixteen students are going to various professional colleges. Apart from this, we are also funding 40 odd students for basic education like Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Commerce, etc.

The Society is also paying for tuition fees for two teachers of Bal Sadan, Panchkula. These teachers are giving extra coaching to about 50 orphan students of the school. We have compared results of these students and found that their grades have gone much better after starting coaching.

Ever since the Society started functioning in 2009, The Kailash Goyal Foundation and local donors have been very generous, and provided financial and manpower for the smooth running of the Society. The Society also assures that not a single paise has been over spent, and all the funds have been used for the benefit of weaker section of our Society, without incurring any overhead expense and will keep doing so.
