Founding Trustees
Devki Nandan Goyal and Sudha Goyal, inspired by their deep-rooted family traditions of philanthropy and social service, envisioned creating a meaningful contribution to the community they now call home.
Profoundly influenced by his parents' values of service and generosity, Mr. Goyal brought a vision of forward-looking design and progressive ideas to the foundation. The Centre stands in honour of his mother, Sokori Devi.
Shaped by her family's tradition of social generosity, Mrs. Goyal co-envisioned a not-for-profit space grounded in traditional building practices yet open to progressive ideas — a place of compassion and collective growth.
Drawing from their extensive travels and openness to progressive ideas, the couple aspired to design a space that is both forward-looking and grounded in traditional building practices.
