🌏 BHOOMI KAWACH – The Earth Protection & Restoration Mission
🌐 www.ipvsurakshaakawach.com 📞 9654379155
“To protect and restore India’s land, soil, and natural systems through citizen participation, sustainable practices, and environmental innovation — ensuring a safe and fertile Earth for every generation.”
Vision:
An India where every citizen becomes a protector of soil, land, and nature — living in harmony with the planet.
Tagline:
🌱 “Protect the Land, Preserve the Life – Bhoomi Kawach for Every Indian.”
India’s foundation — the Earth itself — is under severe strain.
Over the past decade (2015–2025), land-based environmental crises have multiplied due to human exploitation and poor planning.
Major National Challenges:
Increasing earthquakes, floods, and landslides due to deforestation and soil erosion.
Desertification of 30% of India’s land area.
Groundwater depletion and declining soil fertility.
Mining, waste, and industrial pollution are destroying fertile land.
Unplanned urbanization leading to land loss and flooding.
If unaddressed, these issues will directly threaten food security, biodiversity, and the health of future generations.
Thus, BHOOMI KAWACH aims to protect the nation’s most vital asset — the Earth beneath us — through a combination of awareness, restoration, technology, and public participation.
To prevent land degradation, soil erosion, and desertification.
To promote sustainable agriculture and water conservation.
To restore forests, wetlands, and barren lands.
To regulate mining, waste disposal, and industrial pollution.
To build citizen participation networks for environmental protection.
To develop a national data system for monitoring soil and land health.
