A sustainable and a more conscious world where individuals, communities, and the environment flourish in harmony.
Vision
Mission
To improve environmental and individual wellbeing by fostering awareness through hands-on, community-based learning initiatives.
Who We Are
Nivritti is a non-profit trust working in rural Himachal. We are committed to reviving our connection with nature, self, and community.
Founded in 2004, and restructured in 2014, we focus on sustainable living, rural education, waste awareness, and natural farming.
We believe that a more conscious and joyful society begins with personal transformation and collective care.
What We Do
We work at the intersection of education, environment, and community wellbeing. Through our grassroots initiatives, we aim to:
-
Reignite the joy of learning through curiosity-led education
-
Restore balance with nature by supporting natural farming and healthy food systems
-
Build responsible consumption habits and local waste systems that serve both people and the planet
Together, these initiatives create a ripple—toward personal transformation and collective change.
UGAM
Promoting sustainability, conservation and environmental protection through Unconventional Greener Agricultural Methods with an aim to mitigate the negative impact of conventional agriculture on the environment while still maintaining productivity and profitability.
ANUSHIKSHA
Aims towards holistic development and growth of children from economically and socially weaker sections through learning initiatives beyond academics in Kangra district of rural Himachal Pradesh. The objective is to provide them an opportunity to grow beyond the conventional education system.
REFUSE THE REFUSE
Inspiring rural and urban communities to manage waste mindfully and reduce their ecological footprint. Through awareness, action, and systems, we aim to build cleaner, more responsible villages and towns.
Why it Matters
In the fragile ecosystems of Himachal’s villages, everyday choices around farming, waste, and education have long-term consequences.
Nivritti empowers communities to make conscious decisions that protect the land, uplift lives, and preserve the future.
We don’t just talk about change—we live it, together.
What's Happening Now
We’re currently hosting a farmer training programme in collaboration with the National Medicinal Plants Board (NMPB)—focused on the cultivation, harvesting, and sustainable management of medicinal plants.
Farmers from across the region are learning how to grow in harmony with nature while also accessing new income opportunities through indigenous knowledge systems.
Our Impact So Far
Over the past few years, our community-led efforts have quietly begun to take root.
-
400 farmers trained in natural and sustainable farming techniques
-
40 local trainers empowered to carry this work forward
-
50 children introduced to the joy and discipline of classical dance
