“What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have
done for others and the world remains and is immortal.”
If you're blessed with the means to live a reasonably comfortable way of
life, you have the ability to give. The world outside can be a dark place,
and those who have little or nothing depend on the generosity and
loving-kindness of people with a giving spirit. When you give to the less
fortunate, you add to their lives - and by adding to theirs, you add to
yours too.
Step outside your home and we guarantee you won’t be far from a tree. From
pine and oak, to willow and ash, we’re surrounded by a huge variety of
different types of them. And while they’re all pretty and wonderful to look at,
their importance stems far beyond beauty. Since the very beginning trees have
given us the gift of life's essentials. Many generations passed and we
discovered other uses of trees and exploited them for our survival.
The need for plantation has become even greater these days because of the
growing pollution in the environment.
We understand the importance of plantation and therefore we keep organising
plantation drives under project ‘SHWAAS’- an Adhiroha initiative.
We believe that Planting trees can also help people become better versions of themselves as it would not only make them feel accomplished but also would be helping to protect our environment and that’s why we encourage our students and staff to celebrate any important occasions of their lives by planting a sapling.
We are grateful to everyone who has ever sowed a seed with us, we encourage
people to come forward and plant a tree and become a part of our ever-
growing plantation drive. Many of our students have already been a huge part
of this initiative by planting more than hundred trees over the time.

Continue professional protection and care for existing trees and shrubs;
continue planting and removing trees and shrubs as needed to maintain
a safe and diverse urban forest that promotes learning.
Create programs that provide education about the maintenance and
growth of woody plant species and their proper use in the landscape.
Grow a diverse range of both native and non-native woody plant species
that can be viewed for their natural beauty and utilized for learning,
recreation, and to bolster energy and storm water conservation efforts.
Create plant collections throughout campus to enhance study among
related species and native/non-native trees.
Increase awareness of the Donate-a-Tree program which includes gifts of
trees, memorial trees and donations for the forestation program.
Education is a powerful tool which empowers communities to turn
around their lives. If any member of a family is educated, it can help
coming generations to break the inter-generational cycles of poverty.
Education is a great enabler – it makes people skilled and equips them
to engage in meaningful professions and thus contribute to their own
and society’s socio-economic well-being.
In India, even today, millions of children go without any access to
education. As many as 8.4 crore children in India continue to remain out
of school. Its a major social problem plaguing modern-day India. To
make sure the benefits of education touch everyone Adhiroha came with
the SAMPATA initiative under which we help underprivileged children
with studies by supplying study material and other important education
related material.
Our plan is to establish a school under the SAMPATA project
where all these children who have no access to education due to
several reasons can enroll for free.
The revenues from our yoga school shall be pooled in for this
charity. Thereafter, in future we plan to create similar projects
through out the country for the benefit of these young children.
You can extend your assistance in more ways than one. For
instance, you can offer donations to construct the school building.
Once the school is operational, you can also contribute by offering
your services as a teacher here. You can also choose to collect
donations and send them to us for our project.
Spread the Word – Raise awareness about the project from
wherever you are.
Raise Funds – Talk about the project to corporates or interested

Sampata team members constantly hear stories about how
people's lives are profoundly affected by their involvement in the
project. Volunteers not only feel that they are doing something
worthwhile, but also feel empowered, realising that every small
contribution matters.
Our aim is to :-
Identify the causes of poverty and try to eliminate them.
To provide information about social welfare schemes to the target
audiences so that poor people can raise their children in a better
way.
Follow the policy of “each one should teach one.”
To make sure that every child gets to exercise their right to
education.
About 795 million people worldwide face hunger, according to
the World Food Programme – one in nine people on earth. And
hunger knows no borders, with serious challenges in high- and
low-income nations alike. In India, one in six people go hungry;
including children.
Food drives play a really important role — they help us provide
the most nutritious and balanced food for our community
members. Understanding the pain of those sleeping empty
stomach, we launched Project SVANNA – an Adhiroha
initiative.
Under the SVANNA project our aim is to help those for who
food drives play a critical role in keeping shelves stocked. It’s
not just about food – it’s about healthy food. That means
donating things like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat
dairy and lean proteins.
Increase the supply of high need items such as soup,
fruits, vegetables, and personal care items.
Increase the donor pool and make connections between
the donor and different organizations serving the hungry.
Raise awareness about poverty and the need to advocate
for the poor. Educational efforts can be tied into food
collections to provide holistic ministry.
Try to make youth groups a part of our initiative.
Build a community so people from a wide range of ages,
neighbourhoods, communities, schools, and businesses
all work together for a common cause, get acquainted,
and become friends.
A world with zero hunger can positively impact our economies,
health, education, equality and social development. It’s a key
piece of building a better future for everyone. Additionally, with
hunger limiting human development, we will not be able to
achieve the other sustainable development goals such as
education, health and gender equality.

Under our SVANNA project, we have time and again fed the
needy and homeless with the help of our students, staff and
volunteers. Our objectives are simple yet important :-
To reduce or prevent child undernutrition (stunting,
wasting, micronutrient deficiencies);
To educate children and improve knowledge about healthy
diet and lifestyle habits;
To reduce food insecurity and hunger.
Make sure that no one goes to bed empty stomach.
Try to get more people acquainted with out program so we
can make a bigger impact.
A clean and green environment is a basic ideology in sustainable
development. A whole lot of diseases can be traced back to unhygienic
environments and irresponsible waste disposal. The importance of
cleanliness is known to all now, yet people try to keep their homes clean
while they somehow just forget that they are responsible for the
cleanliness of the environment as well, that they are responsible for any
waste they generate and that just getting rid of it from their house won't
help. It could be due to lack of knowledge or due to sheer laziness or
due to irresponsibility. Sometimes all it takes is a reminder.
We understand the importance of a clean environment and therefore we
keep organising cleanliness drives at different places under our project
“SHODHIT”- an Adhiroha initiative through which we make people aware
of the importance and methods of handling waste responsibly.
Cleanliness is most important for physical well-being and a healthy
environment. It has bearing on public and personal hygiene.
Our idea is to make everyone aware of the importance of
cleanliness, hygiene, sanitation and the various diseases that are
caused due to poor hygienic conditions by organising cleanliness
drives around the city with our students, staff and volunteers.
In past we have had successful cleanliness drives under the
project name ‘SHODHIT,’ for cleaning the Holy river Ganga.
SHODHITI has been a major part of river front development and
river surface cleaning over the years since it has transpired. It has
been a part of various drives where we cleaned trekking routes
and other areas of the city where waste management had become
a huge problem.

Over the years the damage done to the environment and fellow beings has been severe, causing serious imbalance in the ecological system. What we forget is our daily consumption of paper, water, fuel and energy directly affects our natural surroundings which comes back to affect us. The more we damage the environment, the more harm we cause ourselves. Make a pledge to protect the environment that protects you. Do a bit to save the earth and restore the circle of life.
Whether it is through cash contributions or donations in kind, time, or expertise, Adhiroha offers a variety of opportunities for you to extend your support. Donations can be made directly to specific Adhiroha projects of your choice or to the general fund of Adhiroha initiatives.
ANIMAL CARE
“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” – Gandhi From the tiniest bug on the sidewalk to the mighty lion roaming the African savannah, animals of all kinds can teach us valuable life lessons.
If we really pay attention, other animals can teach us many important lessons that we may have forgotten in the haste of our normal daily lives. Just by interacting briefly with other creatures, we can take away valuable knowledge that we can’t always learn from our fellow humans. Even our own pet can teach us new things every single day without us realizing it. We live in such a fascinating universe that constantly gives us opportunities to learn.
Our project ‘SAHAYA’ – an Adhiroha initiative focuses on the importance of living in harmony with our fellow beings. We believe that this planet was made to be shared with all creatures and is not just a human monopoly.
What we plan?
In its simplest form, ‘SAHAYA’ refers to the relationships we have with animals and the duty we have to assure that the animals under our care are treated humanely and responsibly. Our plan is to give all animals a space where they feel safe and secure at all times. Where people with similar interests as ours are welcomed to be a part of our initiative.
We aim to construct an animal shelter where these animals can live a life of peace. Animal shelters play a vital role in our communities as they continuously work to reunite pets with their owners, shelter those in need and find new homes for animals that are lost, without a permanent home or for those animals that, for our own security, shouldn’t be roaming our streets.
How can you help?
These are some ways that we expect you to help us make this planet a better place for animals. We feed stray animals every few days and encourage our students and staff to be a part of the activity as well. Apart from just feeding we encourage people to volunteer with us by becoming a SAHAYA ambassador. How could you support us?
Spread the Word – Raise awareness about the project from wherever you are.
Raise Funds – Talk about the project to corporates or interested individuals, or alternatively set up a meeting for us to present our project to them.
SAHAYA team members constantly hear stories about how people's lives are profoundly affected by their involvement in the project. Volunteers not only feel that they are doing something worthwhile, but also feel empowered, realising that every small contribution matters.
What are our objectives?
Our motive is to give The Five Freedoms to our animal friends:
Freedom from Hunger and Thirst - by ready access to fresh water and a diet to maintain full health and vigour.
Freedom from Discomfort - by providing an appropriate environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area.
Freedom from Pain, Injury or Disease - by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment.
Freedom to Express Normal Behaviour - by providing sufficient space, proper facilities and company of the animal's own kind.
Freedom from Fear and Distress - by ensuring conditions and treatment which avoid mental suffering.
