A Visionary from Dighadi
GG Dada, our cherished visionary educator, devoted philanthropist, and the heart of our family, passed away peacefully on January 21, 2026, at the age of 87. Born in the serene village of Dighadi in Gujarat, India, he embodied the spirit of resilience and hope, rising from modest beginnings through his unyielding faith in the transformative power of education—a gift that forever changed his life and those around him.
A Pioneering Engineer
In his early years in Dighadi, GG Dada discovered education as a beacon of possibility, igniting a passion that propelled him beyond the village horizons. With courage and determination, he ventured forth to pursue his engineering degree at LD College of Engineering, becoming one of Ahmedabad's first engineers—a milestone that filled his heart with pride and opened doors he once only dreamed of. This bold step out of the village didn't just elevate his own path; it lifted his entire family and the people around him, creating ripples of progress and opportunity that reshaped destinies.
Family Foundation
What we as a family are today—our strengths, our values, our shared successes—is a direct reflection of his pioneering spirit and the foundation he built for us all. As a thriving businessman, he didn't just build success for himself; he lovingly nurtured his sons and extended family, sharing his wisdom to help them forge their own paths, creating a tapestry of shared dreams and unbreakable bonds.
Champion of Girls' Education
But GG Dada's greatest legacy was his boundless generosity and commitment to others. Touched deeply by how learning had lifted him from humble roots, he poured his soul into giving back, especially through championing girls' education—a cause that stirred his deepest compassion. In his beloved village of Dighadi, he was a true pioneer, establishing the primary school that became a cornerstone for generations of young learners.
Building Institutions
Extending his vision further, he devoted much of his time as a trustee and administrator in pioneering and building Shree Saraswati Kanya Kelavni Mandal in Kadi, an institute dedicated to empowering girls' education and fostering their growth into confident, capable individuals. The vision of this institution was to bring forth, empower, and give a fighting chance to girls from our samaj, nurturing their potential in a supportive environment. Today, it stands as a beacon of progress, encompassing a nursing school, physiotherapy school, girls' hostel, and more, continuing to uplift and transform lives.
Expanding His Reach
His influence reached even wider as he played a significant role as a trustee and administrator of Stree Kelavani Uttejak Mandal in Ahmedabad, where his tireless efforts helped expand access to education for women across the region. His actions weren't mere philanthropy; they were acts of profound love, ensuring that the light he found in education would illuminate generations to come.
Forever in Our Hearts
Through his gentle strength, selfless spirit, and inspiring vision, GG Dada profoundly touched and forever altered so many lives. His children, grandchildren, and the countless students he uplifted carry forward his warmth and guidance as eternal treasures. He leaves behind a family enveloped in grief yet overflowing with gratitude for his endless love. Though our hearts ache with his absence, we find solace in the beautiful memories of his laughter, his stories, and the quiet ways he made the world kinder.
