Around 97 ‘pyaus' (drinking water stalls) were recently set up by the Ghanshyamdas Saraf Trust at various Mumbai railway stations. This endeavour was also recorded in the Limca Book of Records.

The Ghanshyamdas Saraf Trust is a leading charitable trust in the city. Setting up benches at public places for the tired people, arranging for healthcare and wellness of the underprivileged, providing good quality education to all, engaging in women and children welfare and promoting art, literature, and culture without prejudice have been the main activities of the trust.

"Taking inspiration from my father whom I always witnessed helping and feeding poor and needy, I began my journey with the auspicious act of constructing Shree Hanumanji Mandir in Malad East, followed by the construction of Saraf Matru Mandir- a Dharamshala for the common man and later went on to install a record 21,695 benches till date to provide rest to tired citizens at public places and the efforts are still on to provide more benches, wherever they are needed," said Mahavirprasad Saraf, founder of the trust.
