About the Foundation

An innovative centre of higher education, and a key player in shaping India's education ecosystem.

Rai Foundation is an innovative centre of higher education in India and a key player in shaping the education ecosystem of the country. It is committed to affirmative action for equity and inclusiveness across all sections of society, and especially for women from less privileged backgrounds.

Its stated vision is to provide access to quality education to girls and youth at the “bottom of the pyramid”. A great deal is already done for students with proven merit and means; far less is done for those who were denied a good school education and, for that reason alone, could not enter a good university. Many of those children, given an equal opportunity, would have excelled.
