Who we are
A not-for-profit based in Haveri, Karnataka, working on education and culture.
Our story
Why we started
The Foundation was started in 2026 by a group of teachers, artists and professionals from Haveri. Volunteering in local schools, they saw bright children falling behind for lack of support at home, and traditional arts disappearing from their lives. They set up the Foundation to offer both, free of cost, in the neighbourhoods that need them most.
Muntech Education and Culture Development Foundation is set up as a Section 8 company under the Companies Act, 2013. That means it exists to promote charitable objects such as education and culture, and any income it earns goes back into that work. None of it is paid out to members.
Mission
To provide quality education, preserve and promote culture, and empower communities for sustainable development.
Vision
To build an enlightened society where education, culture and values create opportunities and empower every individual.
