Project Green Leh Ladakh is a mission to support farmers through agroforestry which started with supporting a couple of farmer beneficiaries a few years ago and then slowly turned into a revolution of creating 'Apple Villages' across the region. The fruit-bearing trees that you will plant for the farmers will help this mission of 'Apple Villages' reach a wider scale going forward.
The dry weather conditions of Andhra Pradesh attract very less annual rainfall, leading to prolonged droughts. This causes a huge agrarian crisis and extreme despair for farming communities of the state. Looking at the huge environmental value of agroforestry which also provides diversified income to farmers of Andhra Pradesh, SankalpTaru introduced Project Green Deccan. By planting fruit-bearing trees under the project, you will help to strengthen the livelihoods of the rural farmers and the biodiversity of the state.
Since agriculture is the main source of income for the rural farmers of Tamil Nadu, every year the state’s farmers suffer crippling debts due to severe crop loss caused by an acute shortage of water during non-monsoon seasons. The situation becomes grave when farmers get trapped in debt for not repaying loans on time. By planting fruit-bearing trees under Project Pasumai, you will help uplift the livelihoods of the farmers by introducing agroforestry to their traditional way of farming.
Desertification in Rajasthan is increasing exponentially due to changes in the rainfall patterns, and the spread of sand dunes, making its agricultural lands severely fragile due to water crises and depleting groundwater tables, therefore adversely impacting crop yields of the local farming communities. By planting fruit-bearing trees under Project Green Thar, you will help purify the air, increase the groundwater level, and strengthen the livelihood of the farmers.
As a major agricultural producer, West Bengal is said to have good farming interventions, despite which the state’s marginal farmers do not receive a good return on their crops due to low selling rates. The plantation of native, fruit-bearing trees on the fields of the farmers under Project Shyamolima will help to promote rural livelihood through agroforestry and biodiversity in the state.
Due to unsustainable land management practices, especially deforestation and overgrazing, there has been a loss of income of tribal and rural communities as well as a reduction in the green spaces of Madhya Pradesh. By planting fruit-bearing trees for the farmers of Madhya Pradesh, you will help to provide them with an additional income through agroforestry.
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.
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.
The ill effect of cyclone Fani, a cyclone that affected more than 18000 villages and affected 38% of Odisha, resulted in massive harm to the local farming communities, affecting their landholding and livelihoods, severely. By planting the fruit-bearing trees under Project Sabuja Odisa, you will help strengthen the livelihoods of rural farmers, improve their food security, and provide them with alternative sources of income.
Droughts together with technological inadequacy, crop failure, and indebtedness to agricultural loans have been becoming pertinent reasons for farmers’ suicides and migration in Karnataka. By planting fruit-bearing trees under Project Hasiru Sankalpa, you will help the farmers of the state by encouraging the farmers to adopt agroforestry and crop rotation to yield higher produce.
With growing urbanization and industrialization, the state is suffering from the loss of green cover. Moreover, the farmers in the rural areas of Jharkhand are devoid of modern ways of agriculture, thus affecting their livelihood due to climate change. The plantation of fruit-bearing saplings under Project Harit Jharkhand will help to provide vital livelihood support to the farmers of the state.
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.
Plant In A Single Step
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.
Trees are living embodiments of positive energy, grounding us in Mother Earth and uplifting the vibrations around us.

Harela, meaning "day of green", is a cherished festival in Uttarakhand that marks the onset of the monsoon and celebrates nature's rejuvenation. It is a time when communities come together to plant trees and honor the harmony between humans and the environment. Planting a tree during Harela is more than an act of environmental stewardship; it is a celebration of life, growth, and the deep connection between humans and nature. As the rains nourish the earth, let us come together to plant trees that will stand as symbols of prosperity and renewal.
In the orchard of life, a mother’s love is the sweetest fruit. Celebrate this nurturing bond with a gesture that echoes her enduring care and warmth. SankalpTaru Foundation invites you to honor your mother through our campaign, "Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam," by planting an Apple tree. Let this tree grow as a symbol of her love, bearing fruit that nourishes body and soul, just as she has done for you.
Tree plantation is essential for the planet's health and well-being, contributing to climate change mitigation, biodiversity, and environmental conservation.

Monsoon is more than just a season—it’s nature’s way of breathing life back into the earth. The rains nourish the soil, awaken dormant seeds, and bring vibrant green back to our landscapes. Much like trees, the monsoon symbolizes growth, transformation, and renewal. And what better time than this season of abundance to plant a tree? When you plant a tree during the monsoon, you’re not just adding greenery—you’re becoming part of a larger story. Trees are quiet guardians of our planet. Their roots hold the earth together, preventing erosion and absorbing the generous rainfall. They replenish groundwater, purify the air, and serve as natural carbon sinks, helping to fight climate change in the most organic way. Planting in sync with the rains gives young saplings their best shot at thriving. The moisture-rich soil and steady rainfall reduce the need for artificial watering and increase survival rates dramatically. This monsoon, let’s come together to make a meaningful impact—one tree at a time. Whether it’s to honor a loved one, support a local farming community, or simply make a promise to the planet, every tree planted is a step toward a greener, healthier world. Join us in turning this season of rain into a season of hope. Let’s plant, grow, and give back to nature. Because when we care for the earth, it returns the favor in countless, beautiful ways.
