"I began my 3 months long journey of “the self” with sustainability program. For me, it served as an amazing guided introduction to the Indian Knowledge systems and a conscious way of living. What we see in the outside world is just the manifestation of what transpires inside us. And both these aspects of sustainability were very well introduced in the program."

There were many other visits also during the program which helped me develop a more clear vision.No dumping was an eye opening visit for me.
