    The organisation has launched "The Community Forest Programme," aiming to restore the Sundarban mangrove forests through sustainable plantation initiatives led by the local community. With over 218,686 mangrove saplings planted and 200,000 seeds already in the community nursery, alongside the collection of approximately 600,000 mangrove seeds, the project is actively monitored by 42 supervisors and trainers. Involving 3,560 families, the programme aims to implant 400,000 mangroves within a year.

  • Chitropot Programme

    West Bengal

    The organisation has initiated "ChitroPot," recognizing the lack of platforms for rural folk artists to showcase their skills. This project provides a platform for rural artisans to exhibit their talents alongside renowned artists from the US, Europe, and Bangladesh, as well as young contemporary artists. Through this initiative, rural youth have the chance to explore new art forms and styles from international sources. Notably, underprivileged artists share the stage with famous contemporary artists from Europe, with the organisation offering logistical support for their participation. In the previous year, artists from Serbia, the USA, Albania, Greece, Romania, and Bangladesh participated in the festival, fostering cultural exchange and artistic collaboration.
