Lululemon Volunteers & Kritagyata Trust Promote Hygiene Awareness in Schools

At Kritagyata Trust, we believe that true change begins with awareness. When young minds are given knowledge and tools for healthier living, they carry those lessons with them for life—and often share them with their families and communities.

Recently, we had the privilege of partnering with the dedicated volunteer team from Lululemon, who conducted engaging sessions on personal hygiene at two government schools in North Bangalore.

Why Personal Hygiene Matters

For many children, schools are not just centers of learning but also spaces where they gain life skills that shape their future. Personal hygiene is one such vital life skill. It influences not just health, but also self-confidence, dignity, and overall well-being. By addressing this topic early, we ensure students develop habits that prevent illness and promote healthier lifestyles.

The Sessions

The sessions led by Lululemon volunteers went beyond being merely informative. They were interactive, supportive, and designed to resonate with students. Through discussions and activities, the children learned about:

  • The importance of regular self-care routines.

  • How healthy habits build resilience and confidence.

  • Maintaining personal dignity in everyday life.

The safe and encouraging environment helped students open up, ask questions, and leave with practical knowledge they can apply immediately.

Partners in Progress

We are deeply grateful to Lululemon for joining hands with us in this effort. Their time, energy, and commitment to empowering youth make them true partners in progress. Initiatives like these also highlight the importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in shaping stronger, healthier communities.

How You Can Contribute

At Kritagyata Trust, we continue to build meaningful collaborations that go beyond academics and nurture the holistic development of children. There are several ways you can support:

Looking Ahead

Awareness is the first step—but together, we can ensure that step leads to lasting change.

Celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi with Devotion and Responsibility

Ganesh Chaturthi is a festival that brings families, communities, and hearts together in devotion to Lord Ganesha — the remover of obstacles and the harbinger of wisdom. At Kritagyata Trust, we join hands with you in celebrating this auspicious occasion, while also reflecting on the responsibility we hold toward future generations.

Eco-Friendly Celebrations

Traditionally, Ganesh idols made with plaster of Paris and chemical paints have had long-lasting effects on our rivers and aquatic life. With each immersion, toxic substances seep into the water, harming fish, plants, and the delicate balance of ecosystems.

This year, we encourage everyone to welcome Ganesha into their homes with eco-friendly idols made from clay and natural colors. These idols dissolve harmlessly in water, leaving no trace of pollution behind. By choosing such alternatives, we protect not only the environment but also the health and well-being of our children.

 Building a Greener Tomorrow

Kritagyata Trust works tirelessly to provide children with education and opportunities that can brighten their future. Just as education shapes young minds, sustainable choices shape the world they will inherit. Celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi with devotion and responsibility is one small but powerful step toward building a greener tomorrow.

Our Wish for You

On this Ganesh Chaturthi, may Lord Ganesha bless you with wisdom, compassion, and happiness. Let us welcome Him not only into our homes but also into our hearts — with love for nature, respect for life, and a vision for a sustainable future.

Kritagyata Trust’s Seed Ball Campaign Mobilizes Volunteers for Reforestation and Eco-Restoration

In an inspiring act of community-driven environmental action, Kritagyata Trust recently organized a Seed Bombing drive at Gedare Hills, Gauribidanur bringing together dedicated volunteers to help restore the region’s native green cover.

What Is Seed Bombing?

Seed Bombing is a natural and effective method of planting trees without disturbing the soil. It involves creating small balls of clay, compost, and native seeds — which are then scattered over barren land. Once the rains arrive, these seed balls germinate, helping restore plant life and support biodiversity.

This method is ideal for areas where manual planting is difficult and is now widely used in afforestation and eco-restoration efforts.

Volunteers Leading the Way

The drive at Gadere Betta saw enthusiastic participation from students, nature lovers, local citizens, and CSR volunteers. They came together early in the morning to:

  • Prepare seed balls using local soil and native seeds

  • Hike through selected zones of Gedare village, Gauribidanur taluk, Chikkaballapura district, Karnataka, India

  • Disperse hundreds of seed balls in areas that need greening

The event wasn’t just about environmental action — it was also a day of learning, bonding, and reconnecting with nature.

Why Gedare Betta?

Gedare Hills, also known as Gadere Betta, is a hill located in Gedare village, Gauribidanur taluk, Chikkaballapura district, Karnataka, India.  It’s known for its natural beauty, including medicinal plants and a temple at the top, and is a popular spot for trekking and day outings has seen a loss of tree cover in recent years due to urban expansion and changing weather patterns. By targeting this area with seed bombing, Kritagyata Trust aims to:

  • Support reforestation

  • Improve soil retention

  • Encourage the growth of native species

  • Involve the community in hands-on conservation

A Step Towards a Greener Future

The Seed Bombing drive is part of Kritagyata Trust’s larger mission to involve communities in sustainable, nature-led initiatives. Every seed ball scattered is a small step toward a healthier, greener environment.

As the monsoon rains begin, volunteers and community members now wait with hope to see green sprouts emerge where once there was only dry land.

Together, we can make a difference — one seed ball at a time.
