The illustrious Rajbaug farms extend on a huge area of 125 acres on the beautiful banks of the Mula - Mutha River at Loni-Kalbhor, Pune, owned to the legendary showman of Indian Cinema - Late Raj Kapoor.

Rajbaug was officially handed over to Hon'ble Dr. Vishwanath D. Karad, Executive President and Director General, MAEER on 4th August 2002, via the Kapoor Family. This place was a comfortable place for the late showman who found high relief over here and had desired that the land be used for social or educational need only. To meet his dream, this place will be converted into a huge educational campus though still maintaining its original silence.

This picturesque area shows peace and tranquility and seems closer to mother earth in spite of being placed in nearby of the busy Pune-Solapur Highway. It can be the only place for the 'Sadhana', the desiring of awareness. Presently it is an autonomous program
