Support Small Farmers in India

In Fatehpur village, Ambabai and Rod Singh faced financial struggles due to unprofitable crop yields. Through Seva Mandir's initiative, they received marigold seeds, guidance on organic farming which led them to earn a profit of 26,000, stabilizing their livelihood. We’d like you to know that Your support makes this possible for several marginalized farmer families who struggle to survive.

Their story is just one example of the impact we can achieve. With the generous support of donors like you, Seva Mandir continues to transform the lives of families in rural Rajasthan.

Even a modest donation of $200 can make a significant difference, enabling us to provide seeds to 20 farmers, creating a ripple of positive change in their communities.

Thank you for your dedication and support. Together, we can continue to make a lasting difference in the lives of farmer families in rural Rajasthan.

Kind regards,

Ronak Shah

Chief Executive.

Dear Friends,

We are delighted to share, Seva Mandir, has been awarded the Elinor Ostrom Award for its exceptional efforts in conserving commons in southern Rajasthan.

The Elinor Ostrom Award, named in honor of the late Nobel Laureate Elinor Ostrom, aims to acknowledge and promote the work of practitioners and scholars involved in the common’s domain. Ostrom’s work highlighted the value of community trust and collective action, ideas that are now at the heart of Seva Mandir’s work in the conservation and management of forest, waste, and agricultural land in Aravalli tribal communities.

Seva Mandir worked directly with villagers to end encroachment on community lands, facilitating the protection and restoration of 11,000 hectares in 700 villages, while generating 11,000 tons of fodder (enough for 2,888,000 cattle) and removing 3 lakh tons of carbon from the air, all while helping building community relationships through peaceful dialogue.

Receiving the Elinor Ostrom Award serves as a testament to the unwavering commitment and dedication in conserving commons in Rajasthan by Seva Mandir’s grass root workers who are the most defining factor in empowering communities and protecting the environment.

We thank all our donors for believing our work and helping us achieve this milestone.
We do hope that you will once again extend your generous support for our grassroot workers by donating through this link :

Kind Regards
