About KSGMEWA

A registered society of minority government employees in Karnataka, working since 2013 for employees, education and the community.

Who we are

From eleven founders in Dharwad to a statewide association

On 18 May 2013, eleven minority government employees from the education, health and agricultural marketing departments in Dharwad registered the Karnataka State Government Minority Employees' Welfare Association, under the leadership of Shri Md Saleem Hanchinmani.

Their aim was to bring minority employees of every department, board, corporation and public sector unit onto one platform, and to work for the educational and economic progress of employees and the community. Today the association has district units across the state, a state office in Bengaluru and links with MEWA units in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

KSGMEWA is secular and non-political. It works with every government, and helps people regardless of caste, creed or religion.
