Our Work & Impact

Every project starts with participatory surveys, mapping true needs and indigenous wisdom before a single rupee is spent.

Agragami trains local youth, women, and farmers to become change agents, ensuring skills and ownership stay within the village.

Agragami Social Welfare Society, a grassroots organization working for sustainable rural development in Chhattisgarh, has initiated a community-led environmental campaign — “Seed Ball Movement” — to combat deforestation, revive degraded landscapes, and sensitise communities on climate action.

Amidst rising concerns over global warming, loss of biodiversity, and erratic rainfall patterns, it has become critical to reconnect people — especially rural youth and children — with nature-based solutions. The Seed Ball Movement is a low-cost, high-impact initiative aimed at reviving green cover while instilling ecological values in communities.

Agragami Social Welfare Society, Chhattisgarh, has always worked at the intersection of compassion, community empowerment, and environmental sustainability. With the rising threats of global warming, deforestation, and mounting urban waste, Agragami launched a grassroots campaign titled “Cloth to Canopy”, blending environmental consciousness with social support.

This unique initiative addresses two critical challenges simultaneously — urban textile waste and rural ecological degradation. The core concept is simple yet impactful: “You donate cloth, we grow your tree.” Every piece of cloth donated by urban citizens is either reused by underprivileged rural families or upcycled into tools for afforestation, particularly through our Seed Ball Plantation Movement.

Water is the essence of life, and in rural India, ponds are its lifelines. For centuries, ponds have sustained farming, livestock, biodiversity, and daily human needs in villages. Yet today, many of these age-old water bodies lie neglected — dried, encroached, or filled with waste. Recognizing the deep cultural, ecological, and economic value of ponds, Agragami Social Welfare Society has launched the campaign: “Save Pond, Save Life.”

This grassroots initiative is focused on reviving traditional ponds through voluntary community action, public awareness, and sustainable water management. It is a call to restore not just water bodies, but also the soul of rural life

Through this campaign, Agragami mobilizes village communities, youth, women’s groups, and volunteers to:

• Identify and map old/dying ponds in the region
• Organize shramdaan (voluntary labor) for pond cleaning, desilting, and boundary protection
• Raise awareness through wall paintings, folk events, and school drives
• Promote water literacy — helping people understand the role of ponds in fighting drought and climate change
• Advocate for government convergence under MGNREGA and Jal Shakti Abhiyan

Already, several villages in Chhattisgarh have begun restoring ponds with community participation, reviving not just water storage but also community pride and ownership.
