OUR Vision

We envision schools and communities where ​sustainability is integrated into everyday ​practices, fostering scientific inquiry and a ​deep appreciation for the natural world.

OUR Mission

We're on a mission to bridge the gap ​between humanity and nature. We believe in ​aligning one's head, heart, and hand to make ​this happen. So, we empower students, ​teachers, and communities with educational ​materials, spark curiosity and empathy ​through guided nature walks, and organize ​hands-on workshops on sustainable living ​practices.

About Us

Eco Vigyan Foundation came into existence just last year with a clear ​purpose – to enhance eco-club activities in schools throughout India. We ​hold a special fascination for unveiling the hidden significance of fungi in ​the grand tapestry of nature.

This endeavour was co-founded by ,who are ​sustainability educators with a profound commitment to environmental ​causes. Their expertise spans diverse fields, including biodiversity ​conservation, waste management, and fostering learning through nature.

Together, they've left an indelible mark, having collaborated with over 200 ​schools, reaching out to more than 10,000 students, partnering with 300+ ​teachers, and sharing their knowledge with over 100 community members ​and naturalists.

Our journey is marked by a belief that every child harbours a budding ​scientist within, and every educator has the potential to be a nature guide. ​Our mission is to instil a culture of sustainability and foster learning through ​nature in schools across India.

We've only just begun, and we invite you to join us on this path to a greener, ​more eco-conscious future. Welcome to our story, where each school, ​student, and community member plays a part in our shared mission.

WIPRO EARTHIAN PROGRAM

mastering solid waste managemEnt

This is our pilot program, designed to empower institutes, households, and communities in waste management. A ​key highlight is our streamlined composting method, delivering compost in just 6-8 months. We also assist schools ​and organizations in hosting zero-waste events, where we upcycle waste, following the 3 R's principles.

Check out this video where school event turns into eco-friendly, zero-waste celebration, where waste transforms into event ​decorations & unique gifts

Grow your own mushrooms

This is an online, hands-on series of 8 sessions to help you grow your own oyster mushrooms on ​kitchen waste. Follow along & towards the end of this series, you will be able to successfully harvest ​your first crop in 30 days.

I am not sure which is easier- to push a car uphill ​single-handedly or to enthuse an 80-year person ​to get excited to grow mushrooms. But Shrey has ​done just that. I was successful. Oysters grew. I ​just followed what he told me to do. My family ​says there must be something extraordinary ​about him. They are absolutely right

Something that I couldn't even measure was the ​happiness which I got post getting the first ​harvest! It was invaluable!
