Putting Compassion into Action Since 1981
Learn how KMYF has grown from a handful of inspired youth into a 95-member strong federation, serving thousands every year across Karnataka.


Our Story
Founded on November 1, 1981, by a group of like‑minded young professionals, the Karnataka Marwari Youth Federation (KMYF) began with a simple yet profound goal:
To make a tangible difference in the lives of the underserved, and to channel the energy of youth into selfless community service.
From those first meetings in Bangalore, KMYF quickly organized its inaugural medical camps and disaster relief drives, setting the tone for decades of hands‑on impact.
