What Nisarg Agripreneurship Foundation does

Nisarg Agripreneurship Foundation is an Indian nonprofit foundation incorporated in 2019 (CIN U85300MP2019NPL049555) with a corporate office in New Delhi and a registered office in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. The organization runs a four-pillar program platform: Abhishala for education of underprivileged children (including the TEACH Hub sub-program, which delivers Bright Minds life-skills, musical, Katha storytelling, and gender sensitization workshops to Grades 6-10 students); Sylife for rural livelihood development of farming and artisanal communities; Pragati Through Prakriti for environmental conservation and biodiversity; and Cluster Development for nurturing community enterprises across India. The organization originated in Manipur and has expanded its programs across India, relying on donations and grants as its primary revenue mechanism rather than commercial pricing. Delivery is community-led through physical TEACH Hubs and direct workshops, with content co-developed through partnerships with organizations such as Manzil Mystics (music-based learning) and Katha NGO (storytelling-based learning). Marketing and donor outreach are handled through a WordPress-based website (nisarg.org.in), an online donation flow, and active presence on Facebook, X/Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
