This Rakshabandhan, Opt For An Organic Rakhi

July 24, 2020

This Rakshabandhan, Him Vikas Self-Reliant Co-op- a Tata Trusts incubated women’s cooperative- has pledged to protect not just our loved ones, but our plants as well.

As they fight the invasion of Pine through the native tree plantation in their villages, the women of Garhwal, the Him Vikas Self-Reliant Co-op (HVSRC) have designed and handcrafted Rakhis out of Pine wood bark, mauli, local lentil seeds and rice, a Gharwali staple, in Jharipani, Kanatal.

This eco-friendly Seed Rakhi will nurture the Earth when buried.

Half of the profits of each Rakhi will contribute to the conservation of their native ecology from Pine invasion.

Pine tree (Pinus roxburghii) is a problematic invasive species in the Shivaliks & Sub-Himalayan ranges, as it is rapidly taking over the native broad-leaved forests of Oak, Rhododendron, Utis and Kafal, amongst others.

Too many pine trees are a major contributing factor towards depleting groundwater levels, forest fires and soil degradation.

To save their native ecology from Pine invasion, the Him Vikas Self-reliant Cooperative (HVSRC) is also organizing plantation drives of native flora (fruit trees & indigenous varieties) within common areas and Van Panchayats of their villages.

? Pricing: These handmade Rakhis come as a pair for INR 275 (inclusive of all taxes and shipping charges, pan India).

? Availability: To place your order, visit https://pages.razorpay.com/organicrakhis or WhatsApp at 9730013876, today!

Make this rakshabandhan a special one, not just for your immediate family but also for the global family as well.
