Bhil Seva Mandal Dahod

Since its inception in 1923 by Amritlal Vithaldas Thakkar (known as Thakkar Bapa), the Bhil Seva Mandal has championed the transformative potential of residential education for tribal children through its Ashram Schools. These schools, set up across Jeswada, Jhalod and other tribal regions, offer free lodging, boarding, and instruction grounded in community life, character building, and practical skills such as agriculture. Emphasizing discipline, hygiene, and cultural pride, the initiative ensures tribal youth gain academic foundations while staying connected to their traditions. Over a century later, the program continues to uplift and empower generations of tribal students.
