Our Aim
Agriculture and allied activities provide livelihoods for nearly 50% of India’s population. This is primarily why our Natural Resources Management (NRM) intervention strives to help farmers preserve resources and create livelihood options. Our work as an NGO in environmental conservation has led us to focus on water, organic farming and climate change too.

The watershed management intervention aims to protect and improve soil, water, and the sustainable use of the resources to maintain social, economic and ecological balance. The community drinking water programme promotes rainwater harvesting and increases drinking water sources in villages.
Organic Farming
Organic Farming
We provide technical assistance to farmers, encouraging their shift to organic farming. Our farmers practise crop rotation, natural pest control methods and avoid chemical fertilisers. A Farmers Producers Organisation is also formed to brand and market their produces and increase incomes.
Tribal Development
Tribal Development
Tribal farmers in India are forced to look for livelihood options outside of their land as a result of rapid urbanization. Our Tribal Development Programme helps them with Agri-Horti-forestry and teaches them how they can earn a long-term sustainable income without them having to leave their homes.

Going beyond organic farming, our team of agriculturists are researching and implementing the best practices in climate-oriented smart agriculture. The aim is to save traditional crops by pioneering new models in water conservation and agriculture.
