How can I volunteer for the Education on Wheels programme?

Aahwahan Team: Wonderful! No teaching background is required — just a few hours and enthusiasm. Head to Get Involved → Become a Volunteer, pick “Education on Wheels”, and choose your city. Our Bengaluru coordinator runs an orientation every second Saturday. You'll be paired with a lead teacher for your first two sessions.

Is my donation eligible for 80G tax exemption? How do I get the receipt?

How are the trees actually maintained after a plantation drive?

Green Desk: Every sapling is geo-tagged and mapped to a local caretaker. We fund watering and upkeep for the first 2–3 years — the survival window that matters most — and publish periodic survival-rate audits. Native species are chosen per region so they need less intervention over time.
