  From The Director's Pen 

Mrs Tripat Parmar    

I am honoured to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for your unwavering support and dedication to our shared mission of environmental conservation and sustainable development. We founded DEEKSHA in 2002 with an aim of making a humble contribution towards Environment Conservation and Preservation. Our focus has been on awareness generation besides executing a wide variety of value based sustainable projects aimed at environmental conservation.

I firmly believe that as technologies keep developing and our horizons keep expanding, we must not forget that our base lies in the lap of Nature. While it gives some solace that our society comprehends the intricacies of the environment today than ever before, however the way environment has been taken for granted and exploited beyond its capability to repair itself is a cause of great concern. In these challenging times, our commitment to protecting the planet and fostering a sustainable future has never been more crucial. With your support, DEEKSHA has been able to make significant strides in our efforts to address pressing environmental issues.

At the same time, I must admit that the concern for environmental issues has increased tremendously in recent years. The efforts by the citizens of our country towards environment conservation are praise worthy to say the least. However, we need to increase the tempo of the efforts to make a difference which is the need of the day.

As we look ahead, I am inspired by the incredible dedication and passion of our supporters and volunteers. With your continued support, I am confident that DEEKSHA will continue to lead the way in creating positive change and building a more sustainable and resilient environment for all.

Thank you for being an integral part of our journey. Together, we can and will make a significant difference.
