Rai Foundation is the crystallization of
an Inspiration and a Dream. 'Manav Sewa Madhav Sewa' or 'Service
of Man is Service to God'…that's an ancient wisdom that
has reverberated through Time and Civilizations. So also the
fact that Man exists because of Society…and that each
one of us is truly indebted to our society and, therefore, must
give back and strive through sincere thoughts, words and deeds
to make it a better place to live in.
History is replete with inspiring movements which tried to live
up these ideals and thereby made a lasting difference to human
society. One such contemporary movement is Rai Foundation.
Rai Foundation is setup with the premise that without the uplift
of society our nation's dream of being a leading nation in the
world will remain unfulfilled. To realize this conviction Rai
Foundation was founded as an NGO with an objective to address
various socio-cultural concerns of India and its people.
Rai Foundation has taken upon the task of
emancipating the nation from uncompromising orthodoxy in thought
and action. It aspires to create a milieu fit to live with dignity.
The foremost aim and mandate of Rai Foundation is to provide
equal opportunities for education to all, ensuring that the
students' willingness to learn and achieve is given priority
over their incapacity to pay and prior academic record. Its
principle goal is to facilitate accessibility of education to
the students to pursue their career goals. Under the ambit of
Rai Foundation various schools and colleges throughout the nation
were setup providing education in all possible fields of study.
Apart from education, Rai Foundation works towards creating
a regenerated society that fights for its causes and understands
its roots by way of cultivating an informed and updated milieu
that is able to think, act and feel responsibly by disseminating
information through various media to reach out to a larger audience.
These thoughts lead to the conceptions of various setups in
the fields of Print, electronic and e-journals, which gave information
analysis and discussions about various industries and life related
issues aiming to create a culture of intelligence throughout
the nation.
Rai Foundation is guided by the belief that potent bodies make
robust workforce. It aims to create a developed nation by providing
it with healthy bodies and healthy minds. For this Rai Healthcare
was created to facilitate availability of medical facilities
by providing financial and infrastructural support to those
who lack resources.
