Programmes that link training to livelihood

From farmer classrooms to a fully adopted village, each programme is designed to move communities from awareness to lasting practice.

Programme 01

  • Sustainable production practices
  • Farmer livelihood development

Programme 02

RAWE Training for Agriculture Students

  • Apiculture
  • Food processing
  • Nursery management
  • Agricultural extension
  • Community awareness

Programme 03 · Self-funded

In April 2023, AFTER SOCIETY adopted Bisht Gaon, Dehradun, under a self-funded village development initiative — with an MoU signed with the village Pradhan to enable sustained, community-level work.

Monthly community training

Recurring sessions that build knowledge and keep participation active year-round.

Cleanliness & plantation drives

Regular drives paired with plant distribution to residents.

Health camps & awareness

Covering eye health, mental health, dengue awareness and sanitary kit distribution.

Child education awareness
