About Rai Foundation
 
Rai Foundation Colleges are part of a non- governmental initiative in India, founded in 2002 with the vision of providing vocationally oriented education to the masses, irrespective of the economic/social or academic background of the student. The mission of Rai Foundation is to provide an equal educational opportunity for all aspiring students wanting to achieve their professional career goals.

Rai Foundation is committed to generating, disseminating, preserving knowledge and working with others to bring this knowledge to bear on the world's great challenges. It is dedicated to providing its students with an education that combines rigorous academic study with the support and intellectual stimulation of a diverse campus community.

At RFC, the aim is to shorten the distance between the process of education to the purpose of education. It envisions in creating leaders who inspire a vision, winners who set positive paradigms of action and achievers who have the will and the strength to make a small difference to the larger cause of humanity.

Rai Foundation Colleges curriculum is based on the needs of Indian industry. Through constant dialogue with industry leaders, RFC have been able to streamline its academic approach in order to give students the necessary knowledge and disposition to succeed in the cutthroat corporate environment. Since its inception RFC has grown considerably both in terms of the number of students enrolled and a pan-India network of campuses located all around the country.

Asymmetric Global Learning in Participatory Mode
 

The Rai Global Spark Lecture Series is an open dissemination of knowledge and information. This high-profile project with RFC is a vote for India's brainpower over other Asian nations. America and Europe’s best brains from academia would work with local talent here at Rai Foundation to bridge the digital divide between the developing and the developed countries. The initiative has clearly manifested the saying that 'Knowledge triumphs in openness.' It really opens up a 'huge vault' of knowledge to people all over the world and especially in India, courtesy Rai Foundation, who just want to know or learn something - to be knowledgable. It is really a very 'unthinkable' noble effort.

The Rai Global Spark Lecture Series in India at various Rai Foundation Colleges and public realms will include speakers from all disciplines be it from the Management, Sciences and Technology, and take between eminent Professors from the US and UK, Professionals and students. Through an arresting intellectual discourse between leading thinkers in India and of that of the leading Universities abroad, RFC looks forward to a lively ongoing public dialogue where one can engage in some of the most important scientific, political, social, business as well as arts-related issues of contemporary India vis-à-vis leading developed countries. Both look forward to starting and fostering meaningful dialogues between people who want to be part of some of the central debates in contemporary India.
