Rivers & Streams Being Rejuvenated

Trees Planted

Acres Converted to Climate-Resilient Agriculture
Overview
Our natural resources are getting polluted rampantly. So much that we even lack access to clean drinking water, chemical-free produce, and clean air. Environmental degradation is not only bad for us, it is also bad for the economy. Estimates suggest that environmental degradation costs India $80 billion per year, roughly 6% of its GDP.
We want to turn the situation around. Inspired by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s vision, volunteers from around the world have initiated several projects to combat several serious and huge environmental crisis. Projects include large-scale tree plantations carried out under Mission Green Earth, the revival of dried rivers, cleaning polluted rivers, temple waste management, and natural farming that preserves soil quality. Our projects mostly revolve around conserving natural resources and securing rural livelihoods in the process.

Maharashtra Chief Minister recognizes our work
“Thousands of people in the villages of Maharashtra are fighting for water conservation on an extremely large scale. Youth, sisters, elderly people all are working for this cause.

No longer dependent on water
I stay in a drought-hit village and have no water most of the time in a year. By practicing natural farming I am self-sufficient and no longer dependent on water. I made crops worth Rs 2,75,000 this year with an input cost of just Rs 10,000.
