In the sacred grove of devotion, the Bael (बेल) tree stands as a testament to faith and reverence. This Shravan (श्रावण) month, SankalpTaru Foundation invites you to honor Lord Shiva (शिव) through our campaign, 'Shravan Tree Blessings' (श्रावण वृक्ष उपहार). Plant a Bael (बेल) tree as a symbol of your devotion and contribute to a greener planet. Beyond its spiritual significance, the Bael (बेल) tree offers health benefits and improves air quality. Join us in this sacred and sustainable endeavor, honoring Lord Shiva (शिव) and supporting a healthier planet for future generations.
Celebrate the cycle of life and contribute to a sustainable future through this heartfelt act of remembrance. Rooted in the sacred ritual of Shraadh, each tree you plant will create a living tribute that continues to nourish the planet, reflecting the eternal bond between generations and the enduring impact of their memory on the environment.

Let this tree grow as a symbol of her love, bearing fruit that nourishes body and soul, just as she has done for you.
The residents of Uttarakhand are already experiencing the impacts of climate change, such as changing temperatures, upward-moving snowlines, receding glaciers, erratic rainfall, reduction of snow in winter, changed cropping seasons, shifting cultivation zones for certain crops, and drying up of perennial streams, as pointed out in the state government’s action plan on climate change (SAPCC). SankalpTaru introduced Project Protect Himalayas to prevent the migration of local farmers due to adverse impacts of climate change by supporting them with agroforestry. This includes planting fruit-bearing trees in their lands to help them stabilize their livelihoods along with protecting the ecosystem of the majestic Himalayas.
It has been observed in recent years that farmers are not able to secure optimal profits by traditional means of farming due to the challenges of food insecurity, destabilization, and migration, prevalent in the state. Under Project Enrich Biodiversity, farmers are encouraged to implement intercropping with agroforestry to help replenish the lost nutrients in their soil. By planting fruit-bearing trees for the farmers, you can help them to cope better with these challenges.
The majority of the farmers in Haryana have been dependent on the cultivation of paddy crops which require standing water. In the absence of rainfall, they heavily depend on the groundwater tables. This has led to the depletion of groundwater and also moisture content on which the fertility of the soil depends. The plantation activity of fruit-bearing trees under Project Haryana Haritima will help to strengthen the livelihoods of the rural farmers while also helping to recharge the groundwater level and improving the quality of the soil.
The state of Punjab is abundant with agricultural land but with the downside of monocropping and stubble burning, air pollution and groundwater depletion are becoming the major reasons of concern. With the help of native, fruit-bearing trees planted on the farmers' fields, the lands of the farmers would be able to restore the lost nutrients due to their existing crops. Also, these trees will help to hold more moisture content, rejuvenating the groundwater tables.
