Established in 2011, the Awasthi Foundation is the living legacy of Pandit Ramrup Awasthi, a selfless visionary who dedicated his life to uplifting the underprivileged communities of Chembur and Ghatkopar in Mumbai. Inspired by his tireless service, we continue his mission—aligning our efforts with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to create meaningful and lasting impact.

Today, the Foundation, under the leadership of Mr. Gaanesh R Awasthi, supports over 2 lakh children and youth, driving transformational change in the areas of:

• Quality Education

• Decent Work and Economic Growth

• Gender Equality

• Good Health and Well-Being

Our programs are continuous, community-led, and rooted in the belief that every individual deserves an equal opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive.

Breaking Barriers, Restoring Hope

At Awasthi Foundation, we firmly believe that education has the power to transform lives. Yet, for many children, the path to learning is blocked by poverty, limited resources, physical challenges, and personal hardship. These obstacles don't just delay dreams—they can destroy them.

We are committed to removing these roadblocks.

In the communities we serve, we work tirelessly to provide:

• Access to quality education

• Skill-building and reskilling programs

• Corporate readiness training

• Mentoring and holistic support

Through these initiatives, we are helping children and youth reclaim their right to dream and build a brighter future.

Our Mission

To empower young minds with the tools, confidence, and opportunities they need to rise—so they can not only transform their own lives, but also uplift their families and communities for generations to come.
