Environmental Contribution

Yuvak Biradari has made a substantial contribution towards environmental conservation. It has endeavored to provide the youth an opportunity to appreciate and value the joys of constructive physical labour. The emphasis is on developing an attitude wherein social work is treated not as charity, but as an inherent part of our culture and upbringing. In this context, to bolster the equilibrium in the environment, Yuvak Biradari undertakes Vriksha Sneha and Vasundhara Bachao Andolan (Save the Earth movement), and spreads awareness about the dangers of environmental pollution and undue exploitation.

• Through tree plantation campaigns during 1982-2006, Biradars have planted more than 100,000 tree saplings of which approximately 60% are still flourishing at the Film City (Aarey Coloney, Mumbai), Ellora Caves (Aurangabad), Panhala, Sevagram, and North Guwahati.

• Through our Save Water and Cleanliness Drives (Jal Bachao aur Swachchata Abhiyaan) in 2002-2006 many groups of Biradars went door-to-door in more than 150 villages and small towns of Maharashtra to bring about awareness on these issues.
