Do ‘Green Methods’ actually work ?

“Sustainability”, as we define it today, will not save the planet. Today, given the way we approach ‘green’ development, we assert that sustainability in the true sense of the term, does not stand a chance.
Locally, what we do for ‘green’ includes an industrially-driven, manufacturing-oriented, carbon-intensive, highly-polluting attempt at a superficial ’green’.

What is your ‘Local Culture’* ?

*By Local Culture, we mean five ‘interdependent’ elements that every culture exhibits –
‘Bhasha, Bhojan, Bhesh, Bhavan, Bhajan’ (Dialects, Diets, Dresses, Dwellings and, Dances & Songs).

Here, we make you discover the term within yourself at your home. We believe that our Local Culture is inherently sustainable which has evolved over thousands of years to respond to specific contexts and are taking care of the environment till date.

Swaraj

Swaraj is a non-profit that offers alternatives to these Green Methods’. We believe that your Local Culture is inherently sustainable, and has evolved over thousands of years to a specific geo-climatic context, and continues to respect and take-care of the environment to date.

Over the last 10 years, we’ve curated immersive programmes and workshops that have taken thousands across generations on a journey; a journey to bust the myths of modern’ sustainability, explore their Local Culture and chart a new path towards their green future.
