Nivritti is a conscious effort to nurture holistic growth—for individuals, communities, and the environment. Rooted in the rural landscapes of Himachal Pradesh, we aim to cultivate awareness, responsibility, and transformation through hands-on learning and collective service.
About Us
From self to society - transforming with purpose
Our Story
Nivritti’s journey began in Delhi in 2004, born from a heartfelt vision of creating a more conscious, compassionate, and connected society. Initially rooted in urban contexts, our early efforts centered around learning, community building, and inner transformation.
Over the years, life circumstances led to a pause in our activities — but not in our intent. In 2014, the desire to serve reawakened, and our work began to take deeper root in rural Himachal Pradesh. Here, surrounded by nature and close-knit communities, Nivritti found new ground to flourish.
Today, we focus on environmental restoration and education through our core initiatives: Anushiksha (learning and unlearning), UGAM (natural farming), and Refuse the Refuse (sustainable waste practices).
Our work remains simple, grounded, and intentional — growing slowly through meaningful relationships and shared purpose.
Founder’s Note
When I founded Nivritti in 2004, it was an offering—born from deep gratitude and a simple desire to give back. I had always carried a vision of a society where people live with awareness, compassion, and joy. A place where growth isn’t just economic or external, but deeply personal and soulful.
Over the years, life took its course, and the trust lay quiet for some time. But the dream never left me. In 2014, the spark returned—with renewed strength, clarity, and support. What was once a solitary journey began transforming into a shared one. Today, I’m humbled to see Nivritti become a space for others to grow, serve, and connect with life more deeply.
I truly believe that when individuals awaken to their potential—with gratitude in their hearts and love in their actions—something beautiful unfolds in the world around them. Nivritti is simply an expression of that unfolding.
With warmth and hope,
Anuradha
