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.

Starting April 1st, 2024, all donations received are fully allocated to specific projects, while the Foundation’s administrative expenses are covered by generated income. Donations can be made for projects listed under Funding & Monitoring only. No cash donations are accepted.

The foundation operates for the welfare of the rural community through TGG’s Sustainable Rural Development Goals (TSRDG). 

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.

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.
