Our Story

Who We Are

Eco Vigyan Foundation came into existence in 2022 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 Shrey Gupta & Ashish Palyal, sustainability educators with a profound commitment to environmental causes. Their expertise spans biodiversity conservation, waste management, and fostering learning through nature.

Together, they've collaborated with over 200 schools, reached more than 10,000 students, partnered with 300+ teachers, and shared their knowledge with over 100 community members and naturalists.

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