Protect Environment & Improvement in Agriculture
The foundation Go Green was started with the thought of making the “dry State Rajasthan”, a "Happy, Green and Clean Rajasthan". The core theme of the foundation is to plant 10 crore saplings in a span of 10 years. While doing this, it would help us generate employment, as we plan to plant trees which could be used to make organic products that are extensively used nationwide. Products like Gulkand, Gulabjal, Sindoor can be made from roses, henna, both for hair and hands, and also handmade papers from plants are a few to name. The plantation drives that we regularly organize not only create awareness among people to protect the environment but also gives a feeling of gestures of love to give back to mother Earth for the things it provides. With the drives, the Nursery owners find business and earn profits as we promote on hiring some of them for our work as well.
We are also working towards providing farmers good quality seeds for a better yield and increased profits. Thus, the foundation targets to uplift the standard of living of the complete chain of people involved while abiding by its motto "GO GREEN".
