True compassion often begins in silence — when no one is watching, and there's no applause. This is how NGO RAHI was born — not in grand meetings, but in the quiet resolve of students moved by the suffering they saw around them.

Founded on empathy, fueled by sacrifice, and driven by selfless service, RAHI has grown into a beacon of hope for countless lives across India. Their journey from grassroots efforts to national impact is a story of grit, heart, and humanity.

🌿 Foundation & Background

In 2001, a young college student, Mr. K. Raushan, came across a woman who wore the same saree every day while tirelessly working to support her husband battling cancer and seven small children. Shocked and moved, Raushan began saving his pocket money and sought help from his friends to support the family. That was the first step.

Years later, despite his corporate job in Delhi, Raushan continued to support orphans, widows, and the poor. Eventually, friends from across India joined him — each with their own story of compassion and service — and together, they formed what we now know as NGO RAHI.

⛰️ Challenges & Struggles

RAHI’s journey was never easy. From lack of funds and resources to social resistance in rural areas, the early days were marked by personal sacrifices and makeshift efforts. Volunteers spent weekends organizing free tuition classes, distributing medical aid, and supporting destitute families — often from their own limited savings.

With no government backing in the beginning, the team ran on sheer will and faith, helping victims of snake bites in Jharkhand, organizing cleanup drives in Manipur, and educating rural children in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.

📈 Growth & Milestones

In 2014, with the guidance of Ms. Ragni, NGO RAHI was officially registered as “RAHI: A Social & Cultural Upliftment Society” under the 1860 Act in NCT Delhi, becoming a recognized national-level NGO.

From small neighborhood teaching efforts, they now organize state-wide programs in health, education, women empowerment, and youth development. Their volunteer base grew to include professionals like Mr. Neyaz Ahmad (Bihar), Ms. Mathibo (Manipur), and Mr. B Murmu (Odisha), turning passion into action across states.

💪 Current Work & Impact

Today, RAHI operates in multiple domains including:

• Youth Health & Sports: Promoting football, hockey, judo, yoga, and more with the vision of building stronger youth through physical fitness.
• Anti-Addiction Awareness: Educating the public about the harmful effects of smoking, alcohol, and substance abuse through community campaigns.
• Women Empowerment: Running shelters, rehabilitation centers for widows, mentally ill, and the elderly — providing dignity and care.
• Education & Tutoring: Offering free tuition in science, math, and logical reasoning to children from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The RAHI team not only reaches remote regions but also sustains impact through long-term mentoring and support.

🌠 Vision for the Future

RAHI envisions a society where no one is too poor to dream. Their goals for the coming years include:

• Building regional learning and sports centers
• Creating mobile health units for rural areas
• Launching women skill development hubs
• Establishing a national-level mentorship program for youth

“It is more blessed to give than to receive,” says one of their earliest volunteers, a philosophy that still guides every initiative they take on.
