  • REVIEW 2013-14 and Steadfastness in Sacrifice, Austerity and Charity Is Likewise Spoken of As `Sat’ and Action for the Sake of God Is Verily Termed As `Sat’
    REVIEW 2013-14 And steadfastness in sacrifice, austerity and charity is likewise spoken of as `Sat’ and action for the sake of God is verily termed as `Sat’. Bhagavadgita (Verse 27, Chapter 17) CONTENTS Overview 1 Reflections 2 Education 7 Health 21 Livelihood 30 Forests & Energy 38 From the Heart 41 Experiences and Letters 43 Accounts & Finances 49 Appendices 52 AN OVERVIEW While we found it exciting to live in the mountains, we quickly realized that the local populace of subsistence farmers lacked health facilities, meaningful education for their children, and had few livelihood options. Moreover, they depended heavily on dwindling forest reserves and their lives were wrapped in detrimental social taboos and practices. This led us to formalize Aarohi’s organizational structure in 1992, with a vision to create a more equitable society. The name ‘Aarohi’ is derived from classical Hindustani music, signifying ascendance or growth…the growth of thought, creativity and harmony. Oona, the founding spirit, left us barely four years after the birth of Aarohi. The foundations of this fledgling organization were shaken, but survived and we have continued our ascendant path. Aarohi’s mission is to create development opportunities for rural Himalayan communities through quality healthcare and education, enterprise promotion, women’s empowerment, sustainable natural resource use and the revival of traditional culture. The organisation is headquartered in Satoli, a village 6,000 feet above sea level, in Uttarakhand’s Nainital District. Today, we are a team of 99 full-time staff, and are supported by 309 members from all over the world. We actively operate in 77 villages, working with some 46,353 people.

  • Miscellaneous Culture
    Miscellaneous Culture India is a country with a varied mix of people. India’s languages, religions, dance, music, architecture, food, and customs differ from place to place within the country. Indian culture is an amalgamation of several cultures, and has been influenced over several millennia of history by other cultures. Culture Different regions in India have their own distinct cultures and sub-cultures. Language, religion, food and the arts are just some of the various aspects of Indian culture. The South, North, and Northeast have their own distinct cultures and almost every state has carved out its own cultural niche. The sheer size of the country with its variety of geographical features and climatic conditions have all contributed to what we call “Indian Culture”. India is home to some of the most ancient civilizations, and is home to people from most religions. Whether in the matter of cuisine, where every state, region and district can boast of unique flavours and ingredients or clothing, which is a tribute to the local micro-climate as well as a plethora of weaves, drapes and embellishments, Indian culture as a composite whole has a staggering variety of everything. Festivals in India – aplenty, given the multiplicity of communities – are characterized by colour, gaiety, enthusiasm, prayers and rituals. Indian Calendars The Government of India brings out a Calendar of Gazetted Holidays and Restricted Holidays that cater to most of the major and regional festivals celebrated by the various religious and linguistic communities. However, the populace often uses one or more of the multiple traditional calendars and almanacs that have been employed by Indians since the very dawn of civilisation in the subcontinent.
