About Raj Foundation
Rooted in Indian values of seva and compassion, dedicated to empowering communities since our inception
Our Story
Raj Foundation, registration 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).
Established in 2011, Raj Foundation has positively impacted over 2,00,000 lives, including 90,000+ in the last five years, through holistic initiatives in value-driven education, health seva, skill enhancement, employment generation, and entrepreneurship development inspired by India’s traditional strengths in commerce and trade.
As an authorized CSR implementation partner, we support companies in achieving their CSR goals through certified free skill-development initiatives. Alongside this, Raj Foundation continues to uplift youth and broaden its seva across education, healthcare, and inclusion through digital literacy programs, MBA support for girls, services for the specially-abled, cataract and Jaipur Foot camps with BVP, and various community health camps—driving lasting change at the grassroots.

A Visionary Leader
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.

With over two decades of experience in social work and community development, Dr. Chheda has led initiatives that have transformed thousands of lives. His leadership is deeply rooted in the Bhagavad Gita’s principle of Nishkama Karma—serving selflessly and creating impact without expectation.
"True fulfillment comes not from what we achieve for ourselves, but from what we can give to others in need."
- Dr. Rajesh U. Chheda
Our Vision
We envision a Bharat where every individual has access to quality education rooted in our cultural values, comprehensive healthcare, and opportunities for skill development.

By 2030, we aim to establish seva centers across all major states, creating a network of empowered communities that contribute to India's journey towards becoming a developed nation.
