Sankalp
Promoting sustainable practices to protect environment and safeguard our future
Sankalp is an instrumental initiative of the M3M Foundation. It aims to conserve, preserve and protect the natural resources in our ecosystem. Our planet- a pale blue dot on the vast canvas of the universe, is fast approaching at no point of return. Materialism supersedes human values. This ceaseless demand of more is pushing natural resources land, air, water, forests and climate closer to an inevitable collapse. So, Sankalp have focus on utilization of available natural resources in an efficient and sustainable manner.
The vitality of any community is directly linked to the health of its environment. At M3M Foundation, we firmly believe that no community can truly flourish if its surroundings are marred by degradation and decline. We are focusing on utilization of available natural resources in an efficient and sustainable manner.

Water Conservation
Our commitments towards water conservation steers us to work on Rain water harvesting in rural as well as in urban areas. It focuses on water sustainability throughout the year by making rainwater storage structures, water recharging structures, reviving and rejuvenating traditional water bodies. We work with communities on participatory watershed development. It includes better water management practices and decentralization of water. While making structures, ecology of the site is not disturbed.
Objectives of rain water harvesting structures are:
- Groundwater Recharge
- Surface water storage
- Reducing soil erosion
Plantation
You cut a tree, you kill a life. You plant a tree, you plant a life.
Plantation is one of the most effective way to conserve and protect the environment. Tree planting is one of the most engaging, environmentally-friendly activities that can help the planet when done properly.
For us plantation can not only provide oxygen but it provides income too. Our plantation initiative is spread in urban as well in rural area. We plant saplings and support them to become a tree.
Fruit tree plantation not only provides clean air but also provides sustainable parallel income to farmers.
Waste Management
We work on generating consciousness and responsibility of waste generation and management in the individual of target groups. We are working on 3R principle-Reduce, Recycle and Reuse.
We are working to reduce waste and consumption, manages solid and liquid waste and advocate around materials, waste and consumption. Environmental awareness, sensitization of communities towards problem of waste disposal, exposure to current scenario and capacity building for the solution is our aim.
Environmental Awareness
Environmental awareness and conservation consciousness is about understanding, caring and working consciously towards environmental solutions. Environmental awareness implies not only being knowledgeable about the environment, but also being acquainted with sets of values, attitudes and skills for addressing environment related problems.
We conduct such sessions with communities, students. Sessions on field give a real perspective to the learners.
Agroforestry
We works with farmers for sustainable and regenerative farming, diversification of farm produce, increasing farm sustainability, creating parallel sustainable source of income and for environmental resilience in the wake of climate change. Such land management benefits both ecologically and economically to farmers. It provides food, fuel, fodder and marketable commodities like fiber crops, and fruit in a natural system while providing soil holding capacity, improving soil health, maintaining soil nutrition, natural pest management, increased water table, moisture, humidity and exhibiting tremendous biodiversity.
