Founded in 2013, Rajgad Foundation has been dedicated to transforming lives through initiatives in food security and accessible healthcare. To reach remote and underserved communities, we launched our Mobile Medical Van (MMV) program, bringing essential healthcare services directly to their doorsteps. These vans provide free primary care including maternal health, treatment of common diseases, eye and ENT care, X-ray, and pathology ensuring dignified, quality care for all, especially the most vulnerable.

Key milestones in our story
Started with small food donations in the early 2000s, but after taking major steps post-2010, the Rajgad Foundation was officially established in 2013 to serve with full potential.
Achieved a significant milestone by reaching 10,000 individuals through food and essential donations within just two years of establishment.
Year by year, the foundation increased its donation capacity. On special occasions, the number of beneficiaries reached up to 5,000 in a single day.
With the blessings of Lord Pandurang, the foundation organized its first free medical camp in Pandharpur, marking a new beginning in healthcare outreach.
Rajgad Foundation aims to launch its dedicated Medical Van and Food Van services on the occasion of Ashadi Ekadashi 2025 to expand its impact further.
Your support can change lives. Whether through donations or volunteering, every contribution makes a difference in our community.
