Mumbai, Maharashtra, India | 4th August 2025: The Mohit Kamboj Bharatiya Foundation (MKB Foundation), founded by philanthropist and social reformer Mohit Kamboj on May 10, 2019, has announced three powerful new initiatives focused on community empowerment, social inclusion, and cultural preservation across India.
Driven by the guiding values of unity, dignity, and empowerment, the MKB Foundation is taking bold steps to eradicate social discrimination and uplift communities that have long been excluded from mainstream progress.
1. Empowering the Transgender Community Through Education and Employment
Under its Transgender Upliftment Program, the Foundation is introducing a comprehensive framework that includes:
- Postgraduate scholarships
- Skill development and vocational training
- Business incubation and entrepreneurship support
- Public awareness campaigns promoting dignity and inclusion
This initiative aims to empower transgender individuals to become economically independent and integrated into the workforce. With one of India’s most underserved demographics at its heart, this program is a significant step toward workforce inclusion and social justice.
2. Dignified Final Rites for the Unclaimed Deceased
Through the Dignified Dead Bodies initiative, the Foundation ensures that unclaimed or abandoned deceased individuals receive proper and respectful last rites. This deeply compassionate effort recognizes the inherent dignity of every human being, regardless of their social status or identity.
In partnership with municipal corporations, local police, and NGOs, the initiative is being implemented in cities across India, setting a new standard for humane, respectful treatment of the deceased.
3. Restoration of Culturally Significant Temples Across India
The third initiative focuses on the restoration and revitalization of ancient temples that hold historical, spiritual, and cultural value. By preserving these sacred sites, the Foundation is not only protecting India’s rich heritage but also promoting communal harmony and cultural pride.
These temple restorations are expected to reawaken interest in traditional values and serve as beacons of India’s pluralistic and spiritual ethos.
Mohit Kamboj on Nation-Building Through Inclusion and Heritage
Speaking on the launch of these initiatives, Mohit Kamboj, Founder of the MKB Foundation, stated:
“True nation‑building begins when every citizen feels seen, respected, and empowered. These initiatives represent long-term solutions—not just aid, but dignity-led pathways to inclusion, livelihood, and cultural confidence. Whether by empowering the transgender community, honoring the unclaimed deceased, or restoring our sacred temples, we are embedding dignity and equality into the core of India’s development journey.”
A Commitment to Inclusive Growth and Social Impact
With a focus on grassroots transformation, the Mohit Kamboj Bharatiya Foundation continues to lead with purpose and passion, driving sustainable social change. Through these initiatives, the Foundation reinforces its vision of an inclusive India where heritage, humanity, and hope go hand in hand.
