Project Kheojia Assam

Plant trees in the “Tea State” to benefit the environment.
Assam is a major producer of tea and silk in the country and earns majority of its income from the same. However, because of its weather, the farmers prefer mono-cropping. Due to this most of the farmers in the state are extremely poor. To combat this problem, SankalpTaru Foundation has initiated Project Kheojia Assam. With our sustainable plantation drive, we have planted saplings of seedless lemons on the lands of these farmers which act as a benefit to the environment by preventing soil erosion. Apart from that, these saplings act as an additional income to the poor farmers in the state because of their tendency to grow and survive in dry as well as humid climate.
