To make it more focused, some carry pride of their city or village and work for it. Anywhere in the world, community is one of the major inspiring paraphernalia that we carry. With similar thought process after 2007 mega global event when in the first time in the history, so many Chitpavans gathered together, many people realized that having pride in being Chitpavan can be a great driver for the men and women, girls and boys to have greater ambitions in life. Fulfilling of such aspirations can be boosted by having some formal organization in place. This will not only help the individuals but also the society at large and the nation.

The basic mission of the Foundation is to encourage economic upliftment of the community and welfare of the society at large. The activities of the Foundation are sought to include the area of Education where the students in the community can be guided with the experts and experienced seniors for higher education and assist from various channels to get financial help for the purpose. Encouraging youngsters in the community to join the Administrative Services, Arm Forces is also its motto. Foundation also seeks to help community and the society at large in the area of healthcare.
