The sale proceeds have been allocated for the Kanya Kelavani Nidhi for supporting girls' education in Gujarat.

The primary aim of promoting Kanya Kelavani and supporting girls' education in Gujarat inspired the establishment of a meaningful tradition by the then Chief Minister of Gujarat and current Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi. This tradition involves auctioning gifts and mementoes received by the Chief Minister throughout the year, stored in Toshakhana (treasury). The proceeds from these auctions directly support Kanya Kelavani (girls' education).
