About the trust
An education trust with roots in 1966 and a growing public role in Mahuva.
Shree Balvant Parekh Education Trust brings together the institutions known publicly as The Group of Parekh Colleges. Its story is one of continuity, expansion, and stronger local access to higher education across multiple disciplines.
Trust position
SBPET is best understood as a disciplined academic network, not a single-campus brochure brand.
Access-led foundation
The trust story begins with the need to expand quality higher education in and around Mahuva, especially for students who should not have to leave home to find serious academic opportunity.
A group, not a single campus story
Today the identity is broader: grant-in-aid and self-financed colleges, professional pathways, postgraduate options, and newer technical and legal routes under one trust umbrella.
Scholarships and local progression
The public value of SBPET is strongest when it is framed through affordability, scholarships, and the ability to move students from aspiration into real educational progression.
Academic journey
The SBPET journey from 1966 to 2026, with every milestone still visible.
