Ratna Nidhi Charitable Trust
Ratna Nidhi Charitable Trust, is a registered charity that was established over 25 years ago by Mr Mahendra Mehta. It was set up in order to tackle the problems of poverty in Mumbai, especially amongst young children. From its humble origins as a family institution it has grown rapidly, and now its projects cover a wide range of activities located in both India and other developing countries, including Afghanistan, Sudan, Kenya and Burundi.
Ratna Nidhi Charitable Trust is committed to the welfare of people from the most underprivileged strata of society without distinction of caste, creed or color. Its emphasis is on assisting the children and youth who are the citizens of tomorrow and the disabled who need a support to help them join mainstream society.

Mission Million envisions to donate at least million books. Till date, RNCT has successfully been able to establish over 4000 libraries across India. RNCT has also developed its own customised software to keep a track of reading and borrowing habits of users, especially the underprivileged.
Meetings with PDG Nancy Barbee with the shared idea of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”- The world is one family developed into the Project of Exporting Books in Charity to Ghana, Africa.
