We helped him with cheque Rs.17,000. For which we took mark sheet, hostel/mess receipt from him…he will submit non creamy layer certificate for our record purpose
If our beneficiary gets scholarship from institution in the form of refund of fees then he will repay half of the fees paid by us, which will help us to help other needy students

g. GC has also agreed to provide full support to our current trust “Maharashtriy Yadav Charity trust” and also to other established groups (e.g. Yadav Gavali MahaSangh etc etc) if they seek our support for other than GC’s non focused activities which may helps our overall community to grow..
As many of ladies members were not present for meet, here we are appealing to join committees of their interest. Those who are interested may contact Sanket Rikame 8108318501 rikamesanket@gmail.com

h. Yogita Kamble has suggested some nice idea’s in order to get better interactions among GC team. We can have debate on some useful topics ( using facebook posts, we can call it as chat zone ) which can benefit for all of us…

3. Our present executive committee will step down after completing 3 years & will continue to work as GC member with totally new committee will be replaced them..
As days will pass our mandal will grow by age but by this move, face of our mandal will always remain young and energetic.. With this new generation will also get chance to work & will also avoid formation of generation gap..

history of gavali samaj

Gavli (Konkani: गवळी, Gavḷhī) is a pastoral community found in the states of Goa and Maharashtra in India.

Alternate spellings include Gowli, Gowlu, Gawli, Gavali, Gawali, Gauli, Gavadi, Gouli, Goalla, Gwala,Gwalla, Gopa, Godla.

The first Yadav Gavli association was founded in 1903, and in the early 1920s it petitioned the South borough Committee to recognize the caste as Maratha. In support of their claim, the Yadav Gavli cited their legendary descent from Krishna, a history of Yadav kings in North India, Gujarat, and the Deccan, their Kshatriya practices, and their frequent service in the British military, to include the Maratha regiments.

In Maharashtra, the Gavli community have four sub-divisions, the Yadav or Ahir Gavli, Yadavanshi Gavli, Nandvanshi Gavli and Lingayat Gavli

Veershaiv Gavali Samaj

Veershaiv Gavali Samaj is a Gavali tribe" community is also denoted as Veershaiv Gavali, Lingayat Gavali and Veerhaiv Lingayat Gavali, which is recognized as a nomadic tribe. Their mother tongue is Marathi and they are Shaivik (disciple of Shiva), their main profession is to feed cattle and buffaloes and to sell their milk to earn their livelihood.

History

They have been in this profession from generation to generation, they use to wander traditionally in search of fodder for their cattle from place to place, which enabled them to earn their livelihood, and they have been hardly integrated in the society. King Shivaji during his reign in 17th century makes use of the people of Veershaiv Gavali tribe community to spy for him. Gavali people use to collect important information while selling milk and curd in Mughal Dynasty and forward the same to Shivaji. In the 18th century Gavali people use to wander in the early Nizam state later on that was shared by Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Karnataka after the Independence of India in 1947. Following Independence, the people of this community separated among the four states of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Kartanaka and Goa.

Lifestyle

The Gavali now live in some parts of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Goa since last 400 years and their population is in multiple lakhs now. They have remained backward economically and socially, apart from the constitutional safeguards which are enjoyed by the Scheduled Tribes. Still 80% of Gavali community people are buffalo feeders and are in the same milk vending business and some people have private jobs. Their earnings are meager, they are hardly able to meet the expenditure of their daily needs and they don’t have any other source of income. Due to lack of information, knowledge, education and financial support, neither they able to do any other business nor they get any good jobs. 95% of Gavali community people are uneducated and live under very drastic condition irrespective of modern life style. Still most of the families wander from place to place in hope of getting good livelihood.

In Goa

Goan Gavlis are generally vegetarians and speak a creole between Konkani and Marathi. Their localities are called as Gavḷhīvāḍo, such places are found in many places in Goa.
