हम एक मिशन पर हैं —
हिमालय को बचाने का, भूस्खलन रोकने का और गाँवों की ज़िंदगी सुधारने का।

This Is Not Just Soil Falling — It’s Lives Being Destroyed
India is facing a silent disaster.
- Over 12.6% of India’s land is landslide-prone
- 80,000+ landslides recorded in recent decades
- Thousands of families lose their homes every year
- In the year 2022, more than 800 people lost their lives.
- Between 1980 and 2019, more than 22,000 people died due to landslides.
When a mountain collapses, it doesn’t just take soil with it —
it takes homes, livelihoods, and futures.
Why Is This Happening?
Deforestation
Weakening soil structure
Unplanned construction
Our Unique Solution- Trap Grass
"Trap Grass is saving the mountains."
‘Trap Grass’—researched by Krishna Kaushal Shah, President (Green Hills Welfare Society)—is a robust, deep-rooted grass that:
- Stabilizes the soil and prevents landslides.
- Naturally strengthens hilly slopes.
- Enhances soil fertility.
- Improves livestock nutrition → thereby increasing milk production.
🌿 “One Solution. Multiple Benefits — Environment + Economy.”

🐄 Saving Badri Cow
Saving the Badri cow is not charity — it’s preserving our heritage.
Save Himalayan Holy Badri Cow
Protect a rare breed. Preserve a way of life.
The Pahadi Badri cow is a rare indigenous Himalayan breed known for its resilience, low maintenance, and highly nutritious milk. Perfectly adapted to mountain conditions, it plays a vital role in supporting rural livelihoods and sustainable farming. However, due to changing agricultural practices, this valuable breed is now facing the threat of extinction.
The Badri cow is disappearing — and with it, a part of our culture and rural life.
Your support can help provide food, care, and protection to this endangered breed.
👉 Just ₹3000 can support one Badri cow for a month.
Be the reason this rare breed survives.
