SRK provides support and impacts the lives of people by offering financial aid in the form of charity and donation, infrastructure development, advice and guidance for the growth and development of the society at large.
To constantly monitor, develop and implement ideas into logical strategies, the knowledge arm, SRK Knowledge Foundation (SRKKF) works under the aegis of SRK. Shri Govind Dholakia’s (Founder-Chairman, SRK) resilient and passionate belief in ‘giving back to society’ had inspired the setting up of SRKKF.
