The Gaucrete Pilot Project was recently launched at Shrimad Rajchandra Jivamaitridham (JMD). This initiative repurposes cow dung into eco-friendly bricks, that can absorb radiation and have natural temperature regulation properties. Over 1000 tonnes of cow dung is produced at Shrimad Rajchandra Jivamaitridham annually. The Gaucrete Pilot Project demonstrates innovative approaches to waste management.

The recent Global Youth Festival at the Shrimad Rajchandra Ashram Dharampur, witnessed the active participation of thousands of youth from over 20 countries. Among the plethora of activities, specially curated for the youth, were impact projects aimed at the upliftment of tribal communities. One such standout initiative was the creation of plantable pots.

Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care has initiated a pioneering pilot project focused on cultivating Stevia, a natural sweetener with transformative potential for health practices. This endeavour aims to promote holistic well-being by offering an alternative to sugar-based products, particularly beneficial for diabetics and individuals seeking weight management solutions.

As part of supporting the Stevia pilot project, participants were trained in the art of crafting premium-quality coco bowls and coco planters from coconut shells. This initiative not only adds value to coconut waste but also contributes to the sustainability of the project by utilising cocopeat, a byproduct of coco bowl production, as fertiliser for Stevia cultivation.

Thousands of youth, from more than 20 countries, participated in the fourth edition of the Global Youth Festival at the Shrimad Rajchandra Ashram Dharampur. This mega event gave them several opportunities for self-development as well as impact projects for the upliftment of tribal communities.
