Our story
The journey of Kalpvruksh Pratishthan
2020
A field study that changed our direction
Our founders, Bhagyashri Jamadar and Lakhan Mali, come from rural, agricultural backgrounds. During a 2020 field study in remote areas, they witnessed firsthand the struggles students, women and farmers faced in accessing quality education, healthcare and sustainable income.
The turning point
A girl who had to drop out of school
Meeting a young girl forced to leave school due to financial constraints proved to be a defining moment. Her story wasn't unique — countless students lacked guidance toward higher education, women had limited economic opportunities, and farmers faced growing challenges from outdated practices and climate change.
2022
Kalpvruksh Pratishthan is formally established
What began as mentorship for rural students and scheme-linkages for farmers grew into a formal organization — expanding the mission to include women's entrepreneurship, environmental conservation and community-led development.
