Sheth Dhanji Devshi KVO Kelavani Fund is a 114 year-old educational trust dedicated to supporting the youth of the KVO community. The organization provides interest-free educational loans, conducts career counselling, encourages entrepreneurship among young KVOs, and undertakes several other developmental initiatives.

The Merit Awards aim to identify talented KVO students and evaluate their overall performance across academics, general knowledge, sports, social involvement, and extracurricular activities.
