2. A land area of more than 1 acre in Bangalore, which has a market value of more than Rs. 20 crores is given to Mahasabha at just Rs. 36.5 lakhs by the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA).

The inauguration of this home of the olds is expected to be in the month of March, in the year 2014.

4. One of the most remarkable achievements in this term is all about Sri Vasavi Sankalpa Yatra and the Centenary Function of KAVMS. It is one of those ever green and unforgettable events that united all the Aryavysyas from and across the state, under one roof towards the same goal. It has carved itself a place in the hearts of the people to be the most amazing event with all splendor, vigor, décor and Vibrance. It is that kind of an event which can be said as “Was never in the past and never will be in the future (Nah Bhootho; Nah Bhavishyathi).”

5. In the aim of building a hostel and a guest house in the City of Mysore, we had requested the Mysore Development Authority to grant us the land required. In response to this, the Mysore Development Authority has almost sanctioned us the land of 33,000 sq. feet in the heart of the city.

6. We have also been highly competent in increasing the number of memberships to KAVMS; it is now more than 15000 memberships.

Through these meetings, the members are given clear and transparent information personally by the Core committee thereby enabling them to have first hand information.

To felicitate such students, Mahasabha has and has been arranging stage with décor and splendid. These successful students are honored in the presence of highly qualified individuals and many more community people. Thus, encouraging and promoting the importance of education.

18.  With great pleasure and admiration, we have honored the people elected in village panchayat, corporation and municipality on a very opulence dias.

19.  KAVMS, before 4 years, was financially so flimsy that it had problems even to meet its daily needs. Such an organization is now given a strong base that it is not only has the income but it is strong enough to pay its income taxes!!!

20.  The other gem in the crown of KAVMS is the successful event of Aryavysya Raajakeeya Jaagruthi Samaavesha. It was an initiative of this organization to bring in the political awareness in the minds of the community people. The success of this event can be measured by the number of people who had attended it; more 10000 people had participated. 

21.  Education is an integral “need” for any individual. Considering this, KAVMS has encouraged students by giving free accommodation to 30 students in the aryavysya hostel.
