Our Story
Raj Foundation, registered under No. E-28108 (MUM), was established with the sacred mission of seva — selfless service to address the fundamental challenges faced by underprivileged communities across Bharat (India).
Over the past 5 years, we have touched over 10,000 lives through our comprehensive programs, focusing on education rooted in Indian values, health seva, employment generation, and entrepreneur support inspired by our rich tradition of commerce and trade.

Aligned with the Government of India’s Skill Development Mission, the Raj Foundation is dedicated to building a strong, employable workforce through its skill development centres across the country. Our focus is on providing industry-ready training that empowers individuals to secure meaningful careers in India and Abroad.
