Frequently asked
GKF is a federation that represents people of Kachchhi origin living around the world. It works to strengthen the emotional bond between India and Kachchhis abroad, to safeguard their interests, and to make them aware of Indian government policies meant for them.
Yes. Global Kachchh Federation is registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India — CIN U88900GJ2024NPL148464 — as a not-for-profit organisation.
No. GKF does not carry on any business. It mobilises Kachchhis abroad, takes up their issues with authorities, and facilitates investment and networking — it does not profit from them.
The federation was founded by Mr. Vijaybhai Chheda. Hon. Shri Dinesh Trivedi is the Patron-in-Chief and Mr. Anil H. Gor — President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industries Federation, Bhuj — is the Chairman. A 15-member board spans India, the Gulf, Africa, the Indian Ocean, the UK and Australia.
Typical matters include property and land records in Kachchh, passport/OCI and identity documents, delays at government offices, legal questions and connectivity issues. Use the Help Desk navigator to describe yours — it prepares a short case brief and a document checklist.
Not to begin. Send your matter on WhatsApp from wherever you are. GKF will tell you what can be followed up from Bhuj and when your presence or a power of attorney may genuinely be required.
Neither. GKF guides, represents and follows up — and, where needed, connects you with experts or advises you to engage an advocate. It cannot issue documents or decisions on behalf of any authority.
Your details are used only to take up your matter and are shared only with the people needed for it. Read the Privacy Policy in the footer for details.
People of Kachchhi origin anywhere in the world — and friends of Kachchh who share the federation’s objectives — can apply to become members.
Choose “Country representative” in the membership application. The office will discuss the role with you and the board will consider your appointment — just as GKF has appointed representatives in Australia and the UK.
The federation office shares current membership details, including any contribution, directly with each applicant.
For Kachchhis abroad, the journey home is often the hardest part. GKF has met airport and aviation officials repeatedly since 2023, pushing for international status for Bhuj, more domestic flights (including an evening Bhuj–Mumbai service) and cargo connectivity.
