Bhagwan Kesbhat

In a world where challenges seemed insurmountable, Waatavaran emerged as a beacon of hope for tribal communities. Its founder, born into a humble farming family, faced his own struggles but refused to be defined by them. With unwavering determination, he pursued education, walking long distances each day to reach school.

Though setbacks came his way, he never gave up. Failing an English exam, he made a solemn vow to rewrite his destiny. Working in factories and hardware stores to finance his studies, he witnessed the struggles of ordinary people, igniting a deep empathy within him.

Over the years, he collaborated with renowned organizations, shaping policies and empowering young minds. His passion for change led him to establish Waatavaran, a sanctuary for marginalized communities. Through this organization, he reached out to a hundred thousand tribal communities, restoring their dignity and providing sustainable livelihoods.

His advocacy for clean air and sustainable mobility touched the lives of millions. He empowered livelihood cyclists as climate champions and preserved Mumbai's ecological heritage through digitization initiatives.

His ultimate vision is a world where communities and nature thrive in harmony, creating a climate-just and habitable environment for all. His extraordinary journey serves as an inspiration for generations to come.

Join Waatavaran and together let's create a better, more sustainable world.
