Panch Mahabhut Gyan Vigyan Shodh Foundation, established in 2022, is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to tribal development and climate action in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and India’s 2030 Agenda. Our mission is to restore ecological balance, uplift marginalized communities, and address pressing environmental challenges through grassroots action.
​
In our early phase, we adopted tribal communities in Jhabua district, Madhya Pradesh—home to indigenous groups like the Bhil, Bhilala, and Pateliya. With self-funded efforts, we have provided access to shelter, clean drinking water, livelihood generation, and basic necessities. A key initiative has been engaging tribal families in afforestation and plant maintenance activities, creating sustainable income opportunities while contributing to multiple SDGs.
​
Our work spans several interconnected goals including:
-
No Poverty (SDG 1)
-
Zero Hunger (SDG 2)
-
Good Health and Wellbeing (SDG 3)
-
Gender Equality (SDG 5) – by employing both men and women
-
Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG 6)
-
Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8)
-
Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11)
-
Climate Action (SDG 13)
-
Life on Land (SDG 15)
-
Partnerships for the Goals (SDG 17)
Our Core Focus
We are committed to impactful, measurable action through our Afforestation and Carbon Credit Program, which is centered around:
​
-
Restoring biodiversity by planting native tree species on barren and degraded lands
-
Generating verifiable carbon credits under global carbon standards
-
Providing ESG and CSR-aligned reporting to corporate and institutional partners
-
Creating sustainable livelihoods for tribal and rural populations
Our long-term vision is to build a climate-resilient future—where environmental restoration and inclusive rural development go hand in hand.
Why Panch Mahabhut Gyan Vigyan Shodh Foundation?
At Panch Mahabhut Gyan Vigyan Shodh Foundation, we are a passionate collective of individuals and associates driven by a deep sense of responsibility to give back to society and combat the accelerating climate crisis. What began as a self-funded initiative is now evolving into a large-scale movement — because the urgency of climate change demands action beyond individual efforts.
​
Every passing second, a forest area the size of a football field is lost to deforestation. 15 billion trees are removed annually — triggering climate instability, loss of biodiversity, and worsening human well-being. This alarming reality is what fuels our mission to restore ecological balance, empower rural communities, and build a climate-resilient India.
We believe afforestation isn’t just about planting trees — it’s about healing the Earth, fighting poverty, and creating hope for future generations.
