Way back in 1926 a group of youths, belonging to the "Oswal Community" formed a "Samiti" with an energetic exuberance to put together a "Vyayamshala" - an indigenous Indian gymnasium, for self-fitness through physical health exercises.

Even with the wash of tides, the ripples carried forward sparkling messages stretching down the time line even after the eight long decades.
