About Trust

Formation of “KOKINO SPORTS AND EDUCATIONAL TRUST

Our long felt need for forming a trust was registered on 29-04-1998. The name of the trust is “Kokino Sports & Educational Trust”. Formation of the trust will benefit us in the following ways:-

Kokino gets legal status as a non-profitable, service oriented organisation with an aim to promote various activities through which the youth in INDIA could become strong, disciplined and patriotic citizens.
Kokino’s activities and accounts shall be scrutinized by an auditor every year, which will form a sound base for us to raise sufficient funds from our well-wishers.
Kokino’s legal status and its name cannot be misused by any other individual, group or organisation.
Kokino can join venture with various Government and Private bodies both in India & abroad to promote Martial Arts in general and Karate in particular.
Hence-forth Kokino shall be listed in the Government records as one among the legal sports bodies.
