What are the various Projects done by Art of living –

Water Conservation:

To counter the looming water crisis in India, The Art of Living has been reviving rivers and other water resources through its water conservation initiatives. Through these efforts, people are being made aware of water conservation practices and the importance of the judicious use of natural resources like water.

The Art of Living devised a three-pronged approach for its river projects:

1. Comprehensive

Provide local solutions in a scientific manner that mimic natural systems for restoring water.

2. Sustainable

Solve the immediate needs of giving people access to safe water and also create systems that ensure reliable supplies in the future.

3. Community-driven

Empower local communities through capacity building frameworks.

The head worries and the heart feels. They cannot function at the same time. When your feelings dominate, worry dissolves.

2. Women Empowerment :

The Art of Living’s women empowerment programs equip women from different sections of society with skills and instill inner strength to take on life’s challenges.

The programs continue to empower women with economic independence, education, leadership training, trauma relief, and social empowerment.

We have a multi-dimensional strategy to plan and execute projects that deal with the extremely complex topic of women empowerment issues.

3. Rural Development :

Inspired by the vision of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, The Art of Living has been working relentlessly towards empowering rural communities through programs like the 5H program, Light A Home Project, and Sri Sri Natural Farming.

The Art of Living’s rural development programs seeks to build harmony and boost the emotional, physical and economic well-being in rural and tribal areas.
