Our trust was founded by Akshardham Nivasi Rao Bahadur Sheth Curumsey Damjee (1844-1918). Rao Bahadur Sheth Curumsey Damjee was a rich businessman based in Bombay (Now Mumbai), India in the late 19th and early 20th century. He used to do work related to the Bombay Port Trust (Now MbPT). He used to supply labour to the Bombay port (Before the labour board was set up) and performed other activities related to the port (Clearing, forwarding etc.) through his company Curumsey Damjee and Sons. He was given the title of honour "Rao Bahadur" by the then British government in India for his contributions to the community. Also, a scholarship was instituted at the University of Mumbai after him. It was with help from his major donation that the Swaminarayan Temple, Trijo Bhoiwado in Bhuleshwar area, Mumbai was made. The Curumsey Damjee Community Hall at the Dariya Sthan (Kutchi Lohana Mahajan) Masjid Bunder, Mumbai was named after him. He also instituted three Public Charitable Trust's. First, our Trust, the R.
