A picture that speaks a thousand words. At our @nanhikali Football Tournament organised in Bharuch on March 8, scores of school boys joined in as spectators to watch our girls play & cheer with each goal & each save. What a great moment for sports! #girlsonfield #SportsForLife

In 2003, we worked with noted photographer Claude Avezard who took some stunning pictures of the Araku Valley, later included in his book, "Whispers From The Hills." These pictures capture the spirit of Araku so beautifully! #ThrowbackThursday

During the lockdown, we helped 361 farmers in drought-torn Wardha move from Chemical Farming to Regenerative Agriculture. In order to launch their journey, each of these farmers was supplied with 3 tons of compost each in the second week of June. #FamilyFarming #foodsystems

Transplanting: In this method of sowing, the saplings are first planted in nurseries & then planted in the prepared fields. The delicious @arakucoffeein is grown this way! In Araku, we have a large central nursery where every year millions of saplings are grown 🌱 #TuesdayTopics

We are now growing 50+ varieties of veggies at Urban Farms, Delhi. The regenerative agriculture approach improves soil health while nutrient dense produce ensures better health for the community with independent farmers making more profits! A win-win for all 🙌 #MondayMotivation

Women in agriculture are key to ensuring food security 🌾 In rural India we are tackling one of the many gender specific obstacles women in agriculture face by training them to become agri-experts. Women are taking up this challenge & making a real difference in their communities

Despite having a PG degree, Rakesh, a poor farmer's son from Varanasi often felt his skillset was inadequate. From carrying mud sacks in & out of a tractor, to now a Teacher at an English medium school, his life has taken a turn for the better, thanks to Mahindra Pride School.🙌
