At Dharitri Foundation, we believe reforestation is not just an environmental act—it is a socioeconomic revolution. By empowering rural communities in Bihar and Jharkhand, we turn landless farmers into guardians of the forest.
Our model integrates scientific soil restoration with indigenous knowledge, ensuring that every sapling planted contributes to a self-sustaining ecosystem that provides food, fodder, and climate resilience.
We don't just plant trees; we build local committees that own and protect the newly grown forests.
Restoring the Ganga belt's natural drainage to prevent flooding and groundwater depletion.
70% of our field workers are women, leading the charge in nursery management and seed dispersal.
Large-scale afforestation on common lands managed by Village Forest Committees (VFCs).
Biological filtering of river banks using native reed beds and riparian forest buffers.
Implementing Miyawaki forests within Patna and Ranchi to mitigate the heat island effect.
Integrating fruit-bearing trees into traditional crop cycles to increase household income by 40%.
Environmental literacy labs and mini-nurseries managed by students across 200 state schools.
Strictly protected areas focused on restoring endangered flora and fauna of the Indo-Gangetic plain.
