Yuva Parivartan

The Kherwadi Social Welfare Association was founded in 1928 by Late Shri. B.G. Kher, the first Premier of the then Bombay Presidency. This was started with the aim of improving the living conditions of the 100 odd families who had settled in the marshes of Bandra East. Then 1998 saw a major strategic shift in the operations of KSWA with the arrival of Mr. Kishore Kher and Mrs. Mrinalini Kher; looking beyond their traditional mission of service to the local community in and around Bandra East.

This was the time KSWA started the Yuva Parivartan movement. This movement was started to help the unmotivated school dropouts become economically independent by imparting livelihood skills to them. The movement was formally launched in the year 2003 by the then President of India Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. The main objective of Yuva Parivartan was to work with the communities to mobilize youth and provide livelihood training to enable more and more youth to be financially independent and productive in life.
