Fewer trees mean more pollution, less rain and climate change. Citing above situation we bunch of friends decided to do something and started a Prakrutti Foundation. Prakrutti Foundation is a charitable organization. We are working toward mission of planting more trees in urban areas.

The School has been continuing to perform in the capacity of Regional Resource Agency for National Environmental Awareness Campaign Program, Government of India, since 1989-90. Starting virtually from a scratch financially, this organisation has weathered days of turbulence with whatever resources its members and well-wishers could contribute to sustain it financially, intellectually, physically.
