Nisarga Grama

In light of the various challenges we faced in supporting all the children, it became necessary for us to create an all inclusive, unique centre for the children’s development. We believed that in order for this new system to work, the centre had to be located far from the city to ensure that the children are not lured back to their old habits.

That is why the Sparsha team has recently initiated its dream project: ‘Nisarga Grama’ – a nature village for 500 underprivileged and vulnerable children in Hesaraghatta, Bangalore – whose main aim is to get every child to school.

Nisarga Grama is a state-of-the-art rehabilitation centre, self-sustained and eco-friendly, which will play a key role in providing children with education and life-skill development.

Mission : Ensure that children in the 6-18 years age group enjoy their Right to Education.

Goal : To create a child-friendly space where children can express themselves through various creative activities and use Nisarga Grama as a platform for their overall development.

Objectives :

To guarantee protection, education, participation and overall growth in an eco-friendly and self-sustained centre to the children already under our care and other needy children.
To reach every child in need of care and protection and to reintegrate him/her back to parental care.
To create multi-dimensional learning spaces and open platforms for the overall growth of each child.
To make the centre energy-efficient by the use of biogas, solar energy, rain water harvesting and recycling.

What is Nisarga Grama ?
