our story

Our story began by listening — to children overwhelmed by learning demands, to seniors searching for belonging, to families striving for balance, and to communities hoping for a more conscious way of living.
At The Chetna Foundation, we believe true change goes beyond temporary solutions. By empowering individuals with the right knowledge, skills, and habits, we aim to create impact that lasts. Each of our initiatives reflects real needs, thoughtful design, and a commitment to collective growth.
Only through a mindful lifestyle and thoughtfully crafted habits, we can leave behind a greener, cleaner, healthier and cerebrally learned world for the generations to come.

CREATE YOUR LEGACY

our focus areas

We believe that to leave a legacy of a healthy, compassionate and mindful world for the future generations, we need to have a wholesome and sustainable approach; not just limited to our selves and our homes but extending it to the people and places around us.
Based on this belief, the THREE FOUNDATIONAL PILLARS that form the backbone of The Chetna Foundation - COMMUNITY, HEALTH and ENVIRONMENT

community

Here, we focus on upskilling and empowering the community using a three pronged approach - mental empowerment, sustainable habits and shared growth.
We focus on teaching skills which help improve mental sharpness and performance. We inspire and help building healthy and sustainable habits like reading, discipline and self-care. We promote and strive to bring the fellow community members together to connect and share anything positive and helpful that others can benefit from

health

Here, we focus on encouraging a healthy lifestyle and activities that help us stay fit naturally through a two pronged approach to inculcate a healthier lifestyle amongst our fellow community members - crafting routine and regular health checkups.
We strongly believe that a healthy body leads to a happier and longer life. We spread awareness through gatherings and community outreach to adopt a healthier lifestyle by encouraging and helping people consciously craft a their routine and habits. Eventually in the future we intend to strengthen this belief and guidance through health checkup and awareness camps in partnership with the medical community.

environment

Here, we focus on creating awareness and initiative in the  community and surroundings to  and keep the surrounding green and clean. We believe that the closer we are to mother nature, the better our lives can be especially in today's world where bio-health issues and modernization have replaced the therapeutic nature around us.
We intend to conduct awareness and tree plantation drives with the community and the support of local authority in three areas - maintaining and growing the green world around us through plantation and inculcating conscious habits to keep our surroundings and public areas clean

KNOW MORE ABOUT OUR PROGRAMS

the inspiration

PURE  SOUL,  COMPASSIONATE HEART AND BENEVOLENT MIND
That's how we would describe the inspiration and pioneer behind our foundation — DR. CHETNA PATEL.
Her philosophy was simple — be rooted, be disciplined, be mentally active and lead by example. 
Throughout her life, she has been guided by a selfless purpose: the well-being and betterment of those around her. Beyond the traditional classroom, she has always encouraged a holistic approach to education, encouraging children to sharpen their cognitive skills and explore their passions—whether through literature, the arts, or creative discovery. A doctor by profession and a naturalist at heart, commitment to an active, sustainable lifestyle serve as a blueprint for this foundation.
Having an aspiration to selflessly help people beyond her kith and kin, she has  inspired the very idea and existence of this foundation. Her passions and principles have formed the three pillars of this foundation and her ethics guide the values of this foundation. And hence, The Chetna Foundation transformed from a vision to reality
