The MIT Square Welfare Foundation is a Private Foundation (a part of MIT Square Group of Companies) that was formally established on Jan 1st, 2025. The Raj Scholarships and Learn4Free Programs were running informally from Jan 2010 under the Leadership of Mithileysh Sathiyanarayanan in fond memory of the late Raj brothers (Varda Raj, Kesava Raj, and Selva Raj). 

Following our Vision 2050, we set up the foundation in Bangalore, India as a non-profit organisation (NPO), and our officers and board of directors include family members and friends. The foundation is also called a non-government organisation (NGO) or voluntary organisation (VO).

The foundation operates without permanent staff and its board of directors serves without compensation for administration and contribution. Creating this Foundation was a purposeful decision of the original donors with clear goals and intent - to support students, women, and old people who require financial assistance. Our wish is that the Foundation will unlock a path for people to make a positive impact in their communities. We want the Foundation to reflect on life, how to approach it, how to renew it, and how to make a tangible impact.

MIT Square believes in transforming the lives of people by synchronising the fragmented ecosystem with their growing necessities for making a greener planet. The main focus is on "Green initiatives", also known as planetary/sustainability initiatives, where the services and programs are provided to promote environmental sustainability, reduce carbon footprints and increase green footprints. The focus areas are Green Education, Green Technologies, Green Health, and Green Business by adopting the sustainable development goals (SDG) proposed by the United Nations. As part of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities, we are working on the latest cutting-edge research and innovations, as well as the adoption of futuristic and sustainable solutions to the Net Zero vision, articulated at the Conference of the Parties (COP) under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. 

Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, which translates to "One Earth, One Family, One Future," is the motto of India's G20 Presidency. We are part of building 'New India' and addressing the 'Gig Economy', `Startup India', ‘Make in India’, ‘Digital India’, `Standup India', `Skill India', 'Self-reliant India', and 'Clean India'. Embracing globalisation, we are dedicated to sustainable practices that benefit communities around the world.

RAJ stands for Raise and Amplify by Joining us. Square represents "People + Partner + Persistence + Prosperity" with the tagline "Count on us anytime".
