Who We Are
The Nathani Charitable Trust (NCT) is a non-profit organization established in 2003 under the Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950 vide registration no. E 21276.
The objective of the Trust is to uplift the underprivileged sections of the society with financial assistance offered for higher education, housing or business purposes in the form of seed capital. The trustees of NCT saw these two – education and shelter – as the means to break the vicious cycle of generations-old poverty in the disadvantaged sections of our society.
While most other voluntary organizations support only meritorious students, at the time of the inception, the NCT trustees decided that although meritorious students being prime responsibility but also to specifically address the needs of the most marginalized students; low academic scorers and school dropouts – who for economic reasons are unable to complete their formal education, end up taking up the same unskilled jobs as their parents, and are unable to break-free from the cycle of poverty. The needs of these students, our trustees realized, remain largely unmet, leading to unrest and crime in their later years.
