With humility and selfless devotion, he worked tirelessly to support education, socio-religious activities, community welfare and the well-being of senior citizens, touching countless lives through his quiet acts of kindness.
Inspired by his vision and values, the Foundation continues his legacy by creating meaningful opportunities, uplifting communities and making a lasting difference in the lives of those who need it most.

CK Bal Mandir, NK Prathmik Shala
CK Bal Mandir and NK Prathmik Shala are esteemed institutions under the Vasan Sheri Trust in Saraspur.
CK Bal Mandir and NK Prathmik Shala began their journey way before, but in 1997, Mr. Utkarsh Bhikhoobhai Shah started taking care of both institutions with a cohort of 600+ students. From these modest beginnings, we have grown into a vibrant educational institution that serves 1200 students today, offering education up to the 8th standard for both boys and girls.

पंख Day Care Centre, nurtured by the UBS Charitable Foundation, stands as a beacon of hope and care for those who take care of us and our homes. It is a centre for our helpers’ children, so that while they make our lives easier, their children are also taken care.
