Who We Are

Uttrayan Welfare Foundation (UWF) is a not-for-profit organization, that has been established with the aim of offering services in the field of social development, from the promoters of Uttrayan Financial Services Pvt. Ltd., one of the leading microfinance organizations of India.
Since its inception in 2022, Uttrayan Welfare Foundation has made significant contributions toward various social and environmental issues that include addressing climate change challenges through innovative agricultural initiatives, water conservation through rain-water harvesting, health & hygiene, education, and so on.
Some of the prominent activities organized by the Foundation in the past include Community Health Programmes, Food & Educational Item Distribution Programmes and many more.

Where We Do
Uttrayan Farm School is a unique initiative that has been undertaken by the Uttrayan Welfare Foundation with the vision to promote sustainable agricultural practices and to generate awareness and share knowledge about adopting non-conventional farming techniques and concepts to tackle the challenges posed by climate change.

With increasing population and related urban development, land for conventional agriculture is swiftly decreasing around the country. Uttrayan Farm School intends to educate both children and adults about the opportunity to use acres and acres of unused or neglected spaces like rooftops and terraces for practicing environmentally friendly organic farming.
The Farm School will not only produce its own organic agricultural products but will also welcome and encourage visitors, including school children, families and even corporates, to participate and receive practical hands-on training and experience in sustainable non-conventional agricultural practices.
The core vision and objective of the Uttrayan Farm School is to support and educate people about non-conventional and innovative organic farming techniques that will equip and empower the society in facing the threats of climate change and ensure a more healthy, safe and environmentally sustainable future.
