Programme Components

Scientific Research Projects

The ‘Citizen Science’ programmes create space for participation, rekindling exploratory spirit in science to understand the environment around us better.

Educational & Experiential Learning

We use the ‘Experiential Learning’ approach, grounded in scientific research. Our learning programmes are designed by scientists, educators, subject specialists and technical experts.

Sustainable Technologies Innovation | Skill Development

Make in Rural India

We focus on environment-friendly and sustainable technologies, along with skill development programmes for young people and Self Help Groups in rural areas.

Promoting Sustainable Solutions

We help corporations and businesses, schools and colleges, Self Help Groups and institutions to become more sustainable by building capacity to implement sustainable policies, processes, and practices.

Through our projects and programmes, citizens and scientists work together to promote the understanding and action necessary for a sustainable environment. We do this by supporting scientific research that increases understanding and knowledge; by transformational learning programmes that promote environmentally sustainable activities and by skill development and community-based conservation initiatives in rural and urban areas.
