The key purpose of forming the trust was to promote education, social, and cultural activities in rural areas of our country.

Education is the cornerstone of our efforts. We aim to establish good schools, colleges, technical institutions, and post-graduate centers to become a complete education hub, serving the needs of the region, state, and nation. Our commitment to education extends from pre-school to post-graduate levels, ensuring that every young mind has the opportunity to thrive.
We emphasize guiding the youth towards acquiring market-relevant skills and fostering social skills essential for success in today’s world. By providing the right training and support, we empower rural young men and women for employment or entrepreneurial ventures, thus contributing to the growth and development of our communities.
MNBS Trust is actively engaged in socio-economic activities within surrounding villages, coordinating academic research and entrepreneurial endeavors involving local youth. Through collaboration and innovative solutions, we strive for sustainable development and improvement in the standard of living for all.
Our principles revolve around collaboration and philanthropy.
