About Kutch Yuvak Sangh
In year 1985-86 there was a time, wherein in Kutch from across borders illegal stuffs like heroin, mandrex, opium etc. were getting transported easily. Gold, silver and electronics was smuggled into kutch through land and water ways. To spread terrorism in Punjab and to create instability in the country, modern weapons were smuggled through Kutch border. In short Kutch was being used for anti social and anti national activities on a large scale. In such desperate times to create patriotic feelings among the people and to develop mass voice against the anti-social activities, 4-5 people gathered the information about the activities that were going on in Kutch and formed a small sanstha. Later other Kutchi youth joined the sanstha and Kutch Yuvak Sangh was established in 1986. It was registered in 1987 as trust. Thereafter it has worked for the overall progress of Kutch and kutchi community without any bias. Kutch Yuvak Sangh always stands as a pillar when it comes to the problems of kutchi people and it serves as a bridge between Mumbai & Kutch.
