Sustainability Education
Sustainability education is the cornerstone of building a future where people and the planet thrive together. By equipping students, teachers, and communities with the knowledge and tools to live responsibly, we foster a culture of environmental stewardship. Through hands-on learning, innovative solutions, and community-driven projects, we inspire individuals to take action, reduce their ecological footprint, and protect the natural world for generations to come.
Wipro Earthian Program
Since 2021, Navikru Eco Foundation has been a partner organization of Wipro Foundation for their annual Wipro Earthian Program for the Ladakh region.
Wipro Earthian is one of India’s largest Sustainability Programs for schools and colleges and a national-level competition. This program is focused on activity-based learning in three themes namely “Sustainability & Waste”, “Sustainability & Biodiversity” and “Sustainability & Water”. Preeti Chauhan (since 2021) and Tajamul Akhtar (since 2023) are the two Sustainability Educators for the Ladakh region.




We have taken this program to government and private schools of Leh, Kargil, Zanskar, Nubra, and Changthang regions of Ladakh. For the first time, Navikru Eco Foundation has also taken this program to religious institutes such the monastic schools and Islamic institutes in the region.
To date, over hundreds government and private schools in Leh, Kargil, Zanskar, and Changthang have been introduced to the program. Also, team Navikru has managed to introduce this program in Monastic and Islamic institutes of Ladakh.
