About us

Gau Ganga Gauri mission will reduce drudgery, lessen migration, make the villages
self-sustaining, and prepare community to combat climate change.

There’s an alarming reduction in viable livelihood options for hill communities. Primitive agriculture (supplemented by animal husbandry) being practiced on fragmented landholdings, remains the economic mainstay of hill communities, which is agonized by shrinking landholding, declining soil fertility; no or poor irrigation; reduced access to forest resources; lack of access to markets; high input costs and low selling prices; and changed climatic patterns. Unable to make a living from their over-strained assets/resources, the people in the hills, for survival, are increasingly dependent on the Public Distribution System.

Concurrently, money-order economy had developed, with able-bodied men moving to the cities for work, but with post-covid increased living costs, even that is failing, resulting in social disruption and putting heavy burden on the women & children and the aged, left in the villages. Further, climate change has set in. It is being experienced through changed rainfall pattern, increased frequency of natural calamities, etc. The change will affect & alter all aspects of ecology, human life & living. The need is to resilient the community to address current issues, fill knowledge gaps, identify the uncertainties, and accordingly combat the change.
