The new year began with energy, expansion, and meaningful community impact at Mahavir Foundation Trust (MFT). January 2026 reflected MFT’s continued commitment to education, emotional well-being, community connection, and compassionate outreach setting a strong tone for the year ahead.
Expanding Access to Education: New Asha Deep Centre Opens
January marked an exciting milestone with the opening of a new Asha Deep Centre in Kalali (Opp. Silox)! The centre was inaugurated in the presence of Team Silox, MI Chairman Sanjay Sir, and other members after extensive groundwork to prepare for its launch.
Initially managed by Ms. Sangita ben, the new centre will provide regular academic guidance and mentorship to students in the surrounding community expanding MFT’s ability to reach and support even more children.
Investing in Emotional Well-Being
MFT organized a special Social Emotional Well-being Program for 25 children (ages 13–15) from Asha Deep centres. Conducted by Ms. Tripti Pandya, the session used Expressive Art Therapy techniques to help students better understand and positively channel their emotions, thoughts, and inner energy.
By supporting emotional growth alongside academic progress, MFT continues to nurture the whole child!
