  Description

  The organization is a pioneering socio-environmental research and development institute based in Kolkata. We integrate projects, social initiatives, and enterprises to connect, inspire, and nurture change-makers and entrepreneurs. Our aim is to drive socio-economic and environmental transformation.
  
  Our core mission is to raise environmental sustainability awareness and promote the adoption of cutting-edge technologies for environmental protection, focusing on soil, water, and air purification through resource alignment with ecological cycles. Additionally, we aim to create livelihood opportunities for both rural and urban communities by fostering innovation in organic farming, sustainable waste management, permaculture, forestry, healthcare, and whole-system design thinking. We also focus on building self-sustaining families and communities, elder care through permaculture, food security, and solving malnutrition by fostering entrepreneurship and consolidating essential resources.
  
  
  As a development engineer with over 7 years of experience in tackling rural drinking water challenges and solid waste management issues, I have contributed to achieving sustainable development goals at both micro and macro levels. My expertise includes managing large-scale projects, leading teams of up to 20 members, and developing sustainable social business projects. I provide technology-based solutions for issues related to water, waste management, livelihood, CSR, skill development, youth empowerment, advanced agriculture technologies, permaculture, superfood production, nutrition, renewable energy, climate change adaptation, and mitigation technologies.
  
  We invite passionate volunteers to join us in our endeavors. Together, we can make a significant impact on our environment and communities.
