Bhoomi Seva

Let's give a better Earth to our children!

Bhoomi Seva is a volunteer-led social initiative supporting rural communities in Karnataka. We help students continue their education through scholarships, tutoring and mentoring; work with farmers to promote natural farming and agroforestry; provide desi cows and other livelihood support to selected marginal farmers; and assist children's homes with meals, education, equipment and essential needs.

How we work

A cow, a sewing machine and school fees

Sunita Kumara Swamy's family at Kurubarahalli Doddi near Kabbalu needed more than one thing at once. Their daughter's school fees had become hard to pay, and the household was running on a single source of income. Bhoomi Seva helped with three: a scholarship and fee payment for their daughter, a desi cow for the family's farm and dairy income, and a sewing machine for a second income.
