Vision

We envision a world of healthy and empowered communities that sustain, manage, and distribute their resources equitably without harming the ecological biodiversity whilst also ensuring natural resources for current and future generations.

Mission

To develop livable, healthy, and sustainable communities in rural areas through human transformation.

Philosophy

We uphold “Oneness of Oneworld” Philosophy in which we believe that the world is connected and all people united. We view everyone as equal. Our work is dedicated to rid hatred and discrimination and promote empathy and compassion. 

TGG FOUNDATION-A SUSTAINABLE RURAL DEVELOPMENT CHARITY

TGG Foundation is a registered Public Charitable Trust with a global vision, operating on a self-sustaining basis.

Years of conditioning through structured education and systems to facilitate exploitation have trapped humanity in an invisible mold. True freedom comes only with the awareness of this deep-rooted casting. As technology advances and complexities grow, so does human suffering, leading many into despair. TGG Family stands united in guiding individuals beyond this cycle through collective action, embracing a higher purpose of awareness and transformation.

TGG also provides opportunities for people from across the world to participate in a transformative journey by assuming greater responsibility and accountability for their own actions, through its Responsible Human Mission (RHM) Program, thus creating a family of Responsible Humans to perform collective actions for common good.

We have not burdened any individual of TGG Family including volunteers to accept donations or enter into any agreement on behalf of the organization. If you are happy with what we do as a family, participate remotely or onsite. If you do not have the time yet have the financial resources and willingness without any expectations to support some of our initiatives listed under the Funding and Monitoring Page, it must be processed exclusively through the designated payment methods specified on that page. This system ensures greater transparency, utilization of funds for the specific project and accountability for all funds received by the foundation.

Starting April 1st, 2024, all donations received are fully allocated to specific projects, while the Foundation’s administrative expenses are covered by generated income.

The RHM Program has three sections:

TGG’s Sustainable Rural
Development Goals

TGG’s Sustainable Rural Development Goals and the subsequent programs and initiatives will be at the base of all social interactions that will take place in the new sustainable and responsible community. People of all ages will work in symbiosis with the surrounding environment. Respect for nature and the planet will imply a relationship based on mutual growth.

CURRENT PROJECTS

TGG Social Partnership

Livelihood, Wellness, Creativity & Conservation

The objectives include promoting economic stability and growth, ensuring social equity and inclusivity, sharing values, addressing environmental sustainability, and improving overall societal well-being. By working together, social partners aim to develop and implement policies, strategies, and initiatives that strike a balance between economic prosperity, social cohesion, and environmental responsibility, ultimately leading to a more equitable, sustainable, and prosperous society.

in the making

a journey in search of a peaceful and tranquil place

As we witness the progression of our world, shaped by the complexities we’ve created in the pursuit of comfort, it’s clear that this comes at a significant cost. The need for climate action has become urgent because we have not lived sustainably. Instead of coexisting with nature, we have disrupted ecosystems in the name of development. Now, as we experience the consequences of this relentless quest for comfort, we can see how deeply reliant we’ve become on unsustainable systems.

Rupak Dayal Fellowship

Architecture, Tourism, Sustainability, Food Processing

The Rupak Dayal Fellowship is designed to recognise and support dedicated young individuals willing to pursue focussed research projects in Responsible Tourism, Alternate Living with Financial Literacy, Tea and its health benefits, Energy Efficient Tiny Homes & Rural Social Enterprises with a strong commitment for 30 days.

Knowledge Bank

Architecture, Travel, Recipe, Law, Tradition

At TGG Foundation, we believe that knowledge is the cornerstone of growth and empowerment. In line with this vision, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our Knowledge Bank initiative.  Our goal is to create a comprehensive repository of books, particularly focusing on used ones, to foster learning, research, and exploration among students, onsite volunteers, and knowledge seekers.
