Mehali Education Trust

Established in 2020 under the Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950, the Mehali Education Trust stands as a duly registered Public Charitable Trust with the registration number E/2975/Valsad.

Inspired by the success of its Paper Mill at Dahej, the visionaries behind Mehali recognized the pressing need to contribute to society. It became apparent that the villages surrounding Dahej, Gujarat, and the individuals migrating for employment lacked access to quality English medium schools in the immediate vicinity. In response, the decision was made to initiate a school project. The project is currently in progress, funded by Corpus donations from Mehali Papers Private Limited and the Nathani Family, showcasing a steadfast commitment to making a positive impact on education in the community.Inspired by the success of its Paper Mill at Dahej, the visionaries behind Mehali recognized the pressing need to contribute to society.
