At Rao Charitable Trust (RCT), we believe that lasting change begins with awareness. Social awareness is the cornerstone of a responsible and inclusive society, where individuals understand their roles in fostering equality, sustainability, and collective progress. Through our Social Awareness Programs, we aim to educate, inspire, and mobilize communities to address pressing social issues and build a better future.
