The @sevavardhini appeal for Diwali kits for our flood affected and tribal communities has seen an overwhelming response. We are packing the first 1000 kits on Sunday. But there are requests from many more. Please share this appeal and help us help as many as we can. Thanks.

The beneficiaries of @sevavardhini Diwali campaign, are not just the kit recipients. For example, the lantern in the kit - made from bamboo and handmade paper - was supplied by partner organisation पाऊलवाट, providing livelihood opportunities to women artisans.

A common sight. Construction sites using the footpath and road as an extension of its workspace. This concrete mixer is parked on Paud road near the construction at Maharaja complex signal. @PMCPune

This year's Diwali kit campaign is dedicated to flood affected and tribal communities. @sevavardhini is uniquely positioned to reach them due to its network of 500+ voluntary organisations. I am myself paying for 100 kits. I would urge you to contribute too, if you can.

Flood situation in Solapur dist is grim. More rains expected in the coming days. Many of @sevavardhini's partner organisations are working with the district administration on relief measures, running community kitchens and shelters. Please support if you can.

Under #EkMuththiAnajAbhiyan Sept 2025, a total of 4,083.61 kg grains were collected & donated to Shree Datta Yogiraj Bahuddeshiya Samajik Sanstha, Mulewadi (Karjat, Ahilyanagar) Gratitude to societies incl. Swapnashilp, Tara, Anand & Rohan Builders societies #Seva #FoodForAll

Please watch and listen to the commentary from Dattatray Dhumal - Jaldoot from village Gardi, Dist Solapur. Received earlier this week. Amazing job team @sevavardhini. Thanks @AtlasCopcoIndia for your support. The best recognition we could hope for.

The transformation in Akkalkos village (Dist. Dhule, not to be confused with Akkalkot!) is unbelievable. Kudos to the @sevavardhini team. Thanks to @AtlasCopcoIndia and @mngl_in for support. We are now working on a plan for cluster development of nearby villages.

Beautiful and serene backwaters behind cement bund built this year by the hardworking @sevavardhini team at Kasegaon village, district Solapur. Financial and moral support by @PCL_Foundation. Making our villages drought proof - one village at a time.

Congratulations to team Sevavardhini and all the 40+ Jaldoots. This is a massive recognition on a global scale. To truly address water scarcity, we need thousands of Jaldoots. Please contact us if you can support this much needed initiative.

Dear @sevavardhini and @yfs_official . Please note.

On a day when apocalyptic images of supposedly catastrophic flooding in the city were being repeated ad nauseum, this is what it looked like from the sky. Delhi - one of my favourite cities in spite of all the problems, which I fully acknowledge.

Kudos to team Sevavardhini, which is working in remote and tribal communities where livelihood generation is very important. Please contact swworks@sevavardhini.org to know more and support this very important project.

I know your government is working hard to improve infrastructure, even bring rail connections. But the archaic and bureaucratic system of trekking permits has to become modern, transparent and proactive. It is an adventure sport and you have to trust professionals. ,n/n

I love the state of Uttarakhand and its people are some of the friendliest and hardworking people you will ever find. They are living in tough conditions and trying to make the most of them. I am sorry, but I am not coming back as a trekker until sensible policies return. 4/n

Yesterday, after reaching Joshimath, braving terrible roads, we were denied permission to go to Panpatia col, despite clear indications of weather clearing in the Badrinath region. This time, we are all returning rather than take the poor substitutes offered.

In June 2024, we were denied permission for a planned Kalindi Khal trek simply due to a bureaucratic over reaction to the tragic accident in Sahasratal. Our guide rerouted us to Baljuri in the Kumaon region last minute, but majority of the group dropped out. 3/n
