Vanya Samriddhi

Food forests on barren land.

Working with farmers, we turn barren one-acre plots into food forests — mixed-species plantings that restore the soil, provide food year-round, and create a durable new source of livelihood. This significantly enhances farmers' productivity, makes them more resilient to climate change, and opens livelihood opportunities for rural youth.

A fruit sapling for every child.

Every child in a NavSahyog village is given a fruit sapling to nurture and grow into a fruit tree. Clusters of villages compete to see whose trees thrive best — combining environmental learning, responsibility, and community pride.
