An integrated approach to build a equitable and empowered society
OUR VISION
BIRDS envisions a society with prime concerns for human dignity, equity, and peace that seeks harmony with nature.
OUR MISSION
Empowering rural communities to address their socio-economic problems on their own through skill development trainings and awareness classes.
BIRDS enables and empowers small farmers to have a self-sufficient livelihood. They are trained by BIRDS to cultivate indigenous varieties of organic food products using low-input and renewable resources, to maintain the fertility of soils, and the genetic diversity of production. Totally, 129 farmers got involved in the last five years and are inclined to take up organic farming. BIRDS is planning to train 500 farmers and is making attempts in this regard.
BIRDS runs a residential school at its training center, Vedasandur, conducting classes I to VIII. The school was started six years ago, responding to the problem of child labor and rehabilitating drop-out children. 60 children from low-income families and orphans are admitted every year. We provided free food, accommodation, uniforms, books, and medical care. BIRDS is considering to include more children in this regard.
Groups of school-going children in the villages have organized a green club in the villages of Dindigul (D). They are oriented to promote the local environment through conservation and eco-friendly practices in their daily lives. We have conducted events for tree plantationss and maintained kitchen gardens to avoid plastic and polythene.
