Avtar is all about the environment. Do you know that more than 400 species of trees grow happily in Gujarat ?
Trees absorb Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and release Oxygen (O2) for us to breathe. Trees support many other life forms, improve ground water quality, regulates air quality and controls air pollution.
We work with gram panchayats and local people, to promote, plant and protect trees in rural areas. We also provide plants and protection cages at subsidised rates.
We organise seminars for the general public and involve local people, students and youth to raise awareness about the importance of trees for the environment.
We run fan events where children learn how important trees are to people, our culture, heritage and natural world.

In Hinduism, cows are sacred and deeply respected as a holy animal. It is a symbol of sacredness, purity and motherhood.
Members of Avtar group provide services such as feeding cows and treating the sick animals in the cowsheds in Jasdan and surrounding areas.
We raise awareness in the public and try to involve as many members as possible to contribute to this activity. We are trying to spread this tradition of hinduism in the society.
Sparrow, a beautiful little bird, is on the verge of extinction due to many reasons, particularly industrialisation and urbanisation. It is our responsibility to provide a suitable environment to these birds to survive.
With the increasing number of houses in the cities, it is becoming difficult for birds to find a place to live. The sparrow house becomes a great option for these birds, so we can keep a sparrow house in our houses, flats, factories, farms and trees to provide a suitable accommodation for the birds.
We also distribute sparrow houses for free on the occasion of 20th March - Sparrow Day in Jasdan city. We also try to raise awareness by building sparrow houses in many public places.
You can join us to do more such types of activities and inspire others to do the same. Let us remember our old Indian culture and inspire our future generations by unleashing our forgotten humanity.
Birds have a great importance in our day-to-day lives. Our elders taught us to feed food and water to birds for a noble cause.
Volunteers in the Avtar group observe the places where birds come frequently. If we find a place around us where more and more birds come for nesting, we provide bird nests to the owner of the place as required.
Our main objective here is to save nature for our future generations. We encourage you to play your role in protecting nature for our better future.
Tips: Where can you feed the birds?
We frequently visit the Ashrams such as Vrudhdh ashrams (Old Age homes), Anathalays (Orphanage homes), single mothers and poor families in the society and serve them with cooked food. We also provide them groceries, food and other necessary things during our visits.
There are many needy families around us who do not even get two times of food, so we have started a small effort in Jasdan city and about a 25 km area around Jasdan, in which we first do surveys and identify needy families. We help them a little by giving them food and groceries and other necessary things of life.
