Gobind Bhawan Karyalaya and Gita Press operate under the complete control of a Trust Board, not shareholders, not commercial owners. Every activity is governed by the trust's founding charitable mandate.
The trust has never sought profits. Books are priced at cost or below. The Kalyan magazine has never accepted advertising. Free rooms, free food, free medicine: these are not add-ons; they are the core mission. The Trust Board's responsibility is to ensure these commitments are never compromised.
