Building a healthy ecosystem
One of the most difficult challenges that we are facing is environmental degradation, resulting from deforestation, pollution, and climate change. Deteriorating environmental conditions have resulted in many other problems such as scarcity of resources, poor sanitation and hygiene, as well as calamities such as floods and droughts. We humans are causing excessive damage to the environment, many of which are irreversible.
The following figures stand as a testimony to that:
Mother Earth is a giver, no doubt, but are we reciprocating? The answer lies in analysing our situation and taking steps to rectify it. Fortunately, the number of people who understand the need for environmental protection is strikingly high.
It is the responsibility of the present generation to protect the environment so that our future generations get a better planet to live on.
According to an independent survey last year, over 70% of people are well-aware of the ill effects of environmental degradation and climate change. 40% are even ready to adopt sustainable practices to bring about change.

It is envisioned that through this capacity building, the social and economic development of panchayats will be fast-tracked. Keshav Agastya Foundation has brought together a team of Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS) and Banaras Hindu University (BHU, Varanasi) graduates (who are passionate about social development) to lead this initiative.
