Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) is a private, non-denominational development agency, established by His Highness the Aga Khan in Switzerland in 1967. In India, AKF has been working since 1973 in four thematic areas: Health, Education, Rural Development and Civil Society. The Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) is implementing a Multi Input Area Development (MIAD) programme in the state of Bihar. The programme aims to improve the quality of life of marginalized communities by addressing their multi-faceted poverty through a multi-year and multi-sector approach.

Like every year a vigil will be kept by various individual volunteers, NGOs along with Forest Department (FD) at forest areas falling in Mulund, Thane, Borivali for Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) & Vasai region for Tungareshwar Wildlife Sanctuary (TWLS). As you may be aware during MahaShivratri day, people enter from different directions to visit the temples around these forests. Some get inside the forests to gamble, drink, roam about, also deliberately put fire... while doing so the wildlife gets disturbed, forest fires occur, litter is spread all around, etc. Every year vigil has reduced all this to a great extent.

Venue: Van Vadi, Vaara, Taluka Karjat, District Raigarh, Maharashtra

Description:

The Earth Building workshop at Van Vadi in December 2010, attended by about 30, was greatly appreciated by all. Half the participants stayed on for the shram utsav (work camp) following the workshop. Over the next week, we cobbled one small store room cum changing room to half height. The work that remains: adding rafters and a clay tile roof; adding a wooden (or grill) door that can be locked and final plastering, finishing, sculpting, add-ons, etc.
