Rajasthan Foundation was set up under the chairmanship of the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Rajasthan, on 30th March 2001 as a result of the discussions held during the deliberations of the successfully organized IRC-2000.
The objectives of the Rajasthan Foundation are to strengthen and renew the bonds between Non-Resident Rajasthanis (NRRs) and the state of their origin, Rajasthan, to facilitate participation of Rajasthani Diaspora in the development of the state of Rajasthan and the welfare of its people, to promote the well–being of NRRs living in the different parts of the country and the world, and to provide a forum for, and facilitate a process of, continuous communication and interaction between NRRs, the State of Rajasthan, and its various agencies.
In order to strengthen the interaction with eminent Rajasthani Diaspora and to seek their participation in the socio-economic development of the State, Rajasthan Foundation has established its chapters which are as follows:
