Correcting people’s vision with eyeglasses advances socioeconomic development.
In rural India, several hundred million people need glasses to see properly, but low incomes and the difficulty of accessing prescriptions prevent them from doing so. People live with poor vision unnecessarily because they do not yet have eyeglasses. These people require corrective lenses so strongly that they are classified as visually impaired or blind without glasses, and some of those with poor vision live in our project area, Mahlan. This is today’s world; it does not have to be tomorrow’s. Without glasses, children with poor vision are at a major disadvantage in school because 80% of all learning occurs through vision. Today, a pair of eyeglasses could correct the poor vision of children. Myopia, or shortsightedness, is commonly diagnosed at 8 to 12 years of age. If current trends continue, an estimated half of the world’s population will have myopia by 2050. Research shows that correcting myopia and poor vision with properly prescribed glasses results in a greater impact on academic performance than any other health intervention. In addition, correcting vision has the potential to improve learning environments for all children in the classroom and decrease non-completion rates due to underperformance. Therefore, providing glasses for school-age children and poor people will have a high impact on their educational and economic development.
Sustainable organic agriculture is a system of farming using local resources and skills to build long-term soil fertility, safe food, and nutritional security, as well as protect natural ecosystems. This project falls under our mission, which is to promote sustainable development initiatives among the poor small-scale farmers in the Central region through participatory practices. This project approach proposes to use farm resource management for soil fertility building and designed family gardening. It will impart knowledge and skills to the participating target beneficiaries, singling out composting and growing their food in family units as the means to achieving its goal. Using compost in the family kitchen gardens relates to the two best practices. It also calls for a careful integration of farm resources and enterprises, encourages reuse and recycling, and thus diversifies the output and benefits.
To celebrate and appreciate academic achievements, certificates and prizes were distributed among the students who scored good percentages in 10th and 12th standards at Garhwal Sabha Bhavan, Jaipur. As academic achievement is not the only criterion for talent, a drawing, painting, and essay writing competition for underprivileged children was organized to encourage budding talent in the field of creativity. Certificates and prizes were also distributed.
We celebrate the spirit of independence with the Drawing, Painting, and Essay Writing Competition, organized by the Prithvi Foundation.

A vibrant cultural program was also organized on the eve of Independence Day in coordination with Rajasthan Vishwakarma Nirman Majdoor Sangh, Jaipur, and the groups or individuals with the best performances were awarded with a certificate and gifts from the Prithvi Foundation.
As we all know women are an important part of our society and they have potential but sometimes they are taught otherwise especially in the rural parts of our country due to the past beliefs people have inherited. On the occasion of International Women’s Day, a public workshop was organized by the Prithvi Foundation for the local women of Mehlan to remind the worth and potential they hold. In that workshop, women were made aware of their hygiene, public rights, and how being independent in all aspects of life is necessary for them in today’s world.
Three batches of 20 women each (60 females in total) were trained with the latest equipment and tailoring machines, making them aware of the latest trends in the fashion and tailoring industries. By the end of the training period, trainees were efficient and equipped enough to use a tailoring machine used in boutiques and other big industries. This training enabled them to earn money by working from home or looking for work if they desired. They didn’t just start stitching for themselves they started taking orders from others as well. This whole training has also improved their confidence and self-esteem. In the end, they were provided with a basic stitching kit and a certificate.
On the occasion of World Environment Day, an awareness program was conducted by the foundation by having meetings and workshops with local people and making them aware of the benefits of environmental protection and the hazards of environmental imbalance. On this occasion, people were made aware of sustainable development and ways to protect the environment and resources.
A free eye and health checkup camp was organized by the foundation at Mehlan. In this camp besides having routine health checkups of the local people necessary free medicines were also provided to them. In this multipurpose camp, eye tests were also conducted and people were also provided necessary consultation.
It is easy to learn something new every time for a woman as creativity is one of their strengths but due to so many old belief systems and a society where they have been raised, it is hard for them to come out and be independent. But on the occasion of the festival of Raksha Bandhan women and girls of Mehlan, didn’t just learn how to make rakhi but they earned money out of it which was a big achievement for them as this craft exhibition was their way of showing their families their caliber and coming out of their houses and selling their product in their locality gave them a new sense of confidence, which is backed by a lot of women in rural India.
On the auspicious day of Independence, a Blood donation camp was organized at Garhwal Sabha Bhawan.

Spreading awareness among the youth about blood donation and collecting successfully 110 units of blood.
