Allegory of Prayas

Prayas Youth Foundation is a leading environmental organization in Maharashtra. It is an independent NGO registered as a trust/society and actively working to increase green cover of Aurangabad region by adopting scientific and modern techniques of afforestation to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of United Nations. Established in 2010 Mr. Ravi Choudhary along with some NCC cadets, along with the green cover management we are also engaged with other environmental activities as well. We are not only planting the saplings but also converting them into trees by taking proper care of them on regular basis. (Image shared on drive)

  • Re-establishing Sustainability

    We humans were fortunate enough to have a sufficing set of resources and an extremely satisfying and idealistic environment. But woefully, we have lost that treasure and indirectly put our future generations in jeopardy. This scenario has compelled us to prioritize the thought of bringing back sustainability in our lives. Re-establishing the balance between all the existing habitats and making a cohesive environment for all species has become a paramount.

Our Activities

In the initial years of working, Prayas focused largely on plantation of trees. Not just planting them and leaving the work unfinished, but to take care that those plants live long enough.

"Little by little,
a little becomes a lot"

Diwali is also celebrated by planting trees. For most people lighting firecrackers is the highlight of Diwali. But little do people realise that in our increasingly populated and polluted cities, the temporary joy of watching the firecrackers is soon replaced by the intense air pollution caused by them.
