Have you ever wondered what drives a leader to choose charity over profit? We asked Rakesh Rajdev, founder of Kanuda Mitra Mandal NGO, some direct questions that reveal his mindset:

Q: What's your definition of true community service?
A: “For me, the real service means empowering people so they can stand on their own. Providing a meal is good, but giving tools for self-reliance is long-term impact.”

Q: How did your family influence your charity journey?
A: “My late father, Pratapbhai Rajdev, taught me integrity and empathy. My wife, Rupalben, inspires me daily—she’s a true partner in every project, whether it’s educational outreach or a health camp.”

Q: How does your business experience shape your NGO work?
A: “Running businesses in Dubai instilled discipline and strategic thinking. I use these skills every day for Kanuda Mitra Mandal—ensuring every rupee goes straight to impact, not overhead.”

Q: What’s next for Kanuda Mitra Mandal?
A: “We’re expanding. More skill programs, more health camps. I want our education charity to reach all corners of Gujarat.”
