The story of how we became this organization with an impact on communities is an important one and involves the humanitarian philosophy of Dr. K. R. Shroff (1921-1989), one of the top Indian Physicians of his time.

He strongly believed that ‘Giving the less privileged citizens a means to empower themselves is the best form of service towards the Nation’ and practiced the same in his profession and life. With a strong belief in his father’s values, Mr. Pratul Shroff, realized that it is essential to create an environment where rural marginalized communities could be transformed and eventually uplifted to become a strong contributor to the progress of the Nation. He aimed to create programs that facilitated community involvement and enabled them to fulfill their potential.

According to Mr. Pratul Shroff, education holds paramount importance in stimulating this change. Only true education can transform individuals at the grass-root level from being receivers into becoming providers for society. He founded KRSF as the means to use knowledge as the central focus to build self-sufficiency in individuals and make them self-reliant contributors to the Nation’s economic development.

Today, by redefining education with the idea of value-based learning, we have successfully developed not just the potential of students but have also empowered teachers. In the process, we have strengthened the education infrastructure and infused the entire value-chain of imparting education with the right means to make a measurable difference.

We believe that results can only be achieved with collective efforts and by reeling in our community stakeholders to participate, we continue to inspire a holistic change in the society.
