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.

Partners for Urban Knowledge Action and Research (PUKAR) invites you, the Youth of Mumbai, to take on an  exploratory journey of research to examine your city, dig deep into its culture, question what you think needs changing, and simply… indulge your curiosity!
