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.

Explore our journey. Walk with us. Because together, we can build an India where no one is left behind.

Know Our Next Steps

At Ratnanidhi Charitable Trust, we believe that compassion is the greatest form of strength. Our mission is to uplift the underserved and empower them with dignity, opportunity, and hope.

We are committed to breaking the cycle of poverty by delivering life-transforming support across healthcare, education, nutrition, and disability rehabilitation. Whether it's fitting a prosthetic limb, feeding a hungry child, gifting a storybook to spark young imaginations, or equipping a classroom with learning tools—we strive to be a bridge between those who care and those who need.

Every initiative we take is rooted in empathy, driven by innovation, and fueled by the dream of an inclusive India—where no child is left behind, no family suffers in silence, and every human being has the chance to stand tall and live with pride.

We are not just a trust. We are a movement of hearts. A force of change. A promise to humanity.

Join us—because together, we can rewrite countless stories of despair into stories of strength.

We envision an India where no child goes to bed hungry, no dream is stifled by disability, and no mind is denied the power of education.

Ratnanidhi Charitable Trust dreams of a world where every human life—regardless of background or circumstance—is given a fair chance to thrive. A world where books replace begging bowls, where limbs replace limits, and where acts of kindness ripple into lasting change.

Our vision is rooted in compassion, but it reaches far beyond charity. We aim to build a society of dignity, equality, and opportunity—where the most vulnerable are not just helped, but empowered to rise, lead, and inspire others.

Through every prosthetic limb fitted, every library donated, every hot meal served, and every smile restored, we walk towards a future where hope is not a privilege—but a birthright.

A better world isn’t a dream. It’s a decision.
And we’ve made ours. Will you walk with us?
