Veda rakshanam refers to the support and preservation of the Vedic scriptures and the traditions associated with them. This includes supporting Veda Patashalas (traditional schools where students study the Vedas), preserving ancient Vedic texts, and promoting Vedic education.

The Vedas are the core of Sanatana Dharma in Hindu tradition and are considered to be anaadi (without a beginning) and apaourusheya (of non-human origin). The study of the Vedas is considered to be one of the foremost duties of society, and protecting those who sacrifice their lives to study the Vedas is our duty in every right.

KGF supports Veda Patashalas by providing monthly financial support, sponsoring educational materials and infrastructure, and organizing events and competitions to encourage Vedic learning.

KGF supports several social causes such as annadhanams (providing food for the needy), medical support for the poor and needy, and temple support.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, KGF expanded its support for several poor and needy by providing annadhanams and medical support.
