Explanation

The Bhil Seva Mandal was founded in 1922 by Amritlal Vithaldas Thakkar, popularly known as Thakkar Bapa [1]. A dedicated social worker and member of the Servants of India Society, Thakkar Bapa established the organization to provide relief and education to the Bhil tribe in the Panchmahals region of Gujarat during a period of severe famine [2]. His work focused on the upliftment of tribal communities (Adivasis) and the marginalized. He later served as the general secretary of the Harijan Sevak Sangh, founded by Mahatma Gandhi in 1932, and was instrumental in the formation of the Bharatiya Adimjati Sevak Sangh in 1948. While other reformers like Dayaram Gidumal were involved in social service through organizations like Seva Sadan, the specific founding of the Bhil Seva Mandal is attributed to Thakkar Bapa.
