Aasra Foundation Trust

Education. Agriculture. Rural Transformation.

Aasara Foundation Trust is a rural development initiative based in Bundelkhand, India—one of the country’s socio-economically challenged regions. The Trust works to improve opportunities for rural families by combining education, agriculture, and community development into a single model of change. Rather than short-term aid, the focus is on building knowledge, confidence, and self-reliance.

Our mission is simple yet ambitious: to deliver high-quality education while strengthening agricultural identity and rural innovation so that young generations grow with skills, dignity, and connection to their roots.

At the center of this mission stands RNTS International College, created as a practical platform where learning and rural progress grow together, preparing students for modern opportunities while strengthening sustainable farming knowledge, skills, and community leadership.

Educating Minds. Empowering Farmers. Transforming Rural Futures.

RNTS International College currently serves 300 students, primarily from farming and rural families. We provide low-cost, high-quality education designed not only to improve academic outcomes but create long-term rural resilience. Unlike traditional rural schools that unintentionally disconnect children from agriculture, RNTS College integrates:

  • Academic curriculum with agricultural science
  • On-site Agro Research & Development Station
  • Field-based experiential learning
  • Farmer engagement and training programs
  • Practical exposure to sustainable farming systems

Agro-focused institution combining formal education with agricultural innovation. Students modernize agriculture, not abandon it.

Beyond Education: Rural Innovation in Action

  • Farmer families and local communities
  • Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs)
  • Agricultural training and extension programs
  • Local agro-innovation initiatives
  • Skill development and rural entrepreneurship

We collaborate with government agencies, agricultural institutions, universities, and private partners to strengthen regional productivity and sustainability. Through training, guidance, and community programs, we build long-term capacity, empowering farmers, students, and rural communities with practical skills, innovation support, knowledge sharing, and institutional development opportunities.
