RANA came into existence about 4 years ago by a group of Rajasthanis living in New York. Six Rajasthanis who are the founding members of the association are Mr. Arvind Bhandari, Mr. Kamlesh Mehta, Mr. K. K. Mehta, Mr. Naveen C. Shah, Mr. Rajesh Shah and Mr. Sunil Shah. While having a social get-together, they came up with an idea of formation of RANA. And it all started at Mr. Naveen C. Shah's residence.
