Know Who We Are – The Heart Behind Ratnanidhi Charitable Trust
Ratnanidhi Charitable Trust was born in 1967 from the vision of Shri Mahendra Mehta, a man driven by a powerful belief—that no life should be limited by poverty, disability, or lack of opportunity. What began as a humble family initiative has today become a nationwide movement, guided by the timeless values of trust, compassion, and service.
Rooted in the ethos of a deeply philanthropic family and built on generations of empathy, Ratnanidhi blends heart and professionalism.
We carry the warmth of a family-run foundation and the precision of a global organization. With project partners like Google Foundation USA, IIT Mumbai ( BETIC ) , World Bank, and EssilorLuxottica France, we bring world-class innovation to India's most underserved communities.
Our impact spans across education, health, nutrition, and disability rehabilitation—each number a story of transformation:
2.8 lakh+ prosthetic aids provided, helping people walk again with dignity, including the advanced Ratnanidhi Leg.
3.6 lakh+ children screened for vision, with 38,750+ spectacles distributed.
1.3 million books donated to 5,000+ schools, nurturing a culture of reading in every corner of India.
2.3 crore hot meals served under our Food for Education program, ensuring no child studies on an empty stomach.
14 lakh garments lovingly donated to underprivileged communities, spreading warmth in more ways than one.
We believe in measurable compassion—programs that are not just heart-led but also professionally executed. Every life touched is a promise kept.
