To support ageing infrastructure of SKVT School and to provide required number benches for the students, SKVT Alumni Trust launched "DONATE A BENCH" program. The existing benches are more than 25 years old and are falling apart. So, with the help of SKVT Alumni and well wishers, we are thriving to provide new benches to school in differet phases over the course of next one year. We request everyone to come forward and donate for this noble cause. Please refer to the FAQs section for more details. Please reach out to us at email admin@skvtalumnitrust.org for any clarifications or questions you may have regarding this program.
