History of the trust

Under the high vision of Purani Shree Narayanpriyadasji, Founder of The Gurukul Campus, Bhavnagar and the tenet of Lord Shree Swaminarayan, the foundation stone of the Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul Campus was laid down on 18th Feb, 1978 by the former Chief Minister of Gujarat Late Shree Babubhai Jashbhai Patel.
