CASA

Across rural India, women farmers continue to be the backbone of agriculture, contributing immensely despite limited access to land ownership, financial resources, market linkages, and technical support. In many communities, farming is not just a livelihood—it is a responsibility carried silently by women every single day.

In Rajasthan, women like Devan are redefining what resilience and collective strength look like. By coming together through community-led farmer groups supported by CASA, women farmers are learning sustainable and organic farming practices, improving crop diversity, and strengthening household incomes. More importantly, these collectives are creating spaces where women support one another, share knowledge, and build confidence in decision-making.

Collective farming has enabled women to pool resources, exchange expertise, and adopt environmentally sustainable agricultural methods that protect both livelihoods and the land. The transition toward organic practices is not only improving soil health and productivity but also paving the way for long-term food security and economic independence for rural families.

Empowering women farmers means strengthening communities, preserving traditional agricultural wisdom, and building a more sustainable future for generations to come.

With deep sorrow, we mourn the passing of Mr. D. Karunakaran, a dedicated colleague who served communities with compassion and commitment for over 30 years.
From his beginnings as a Community Organizer to his leadership roles across key programs, his life was devoted to the well-being of people at the grassroots level.

His service, humility, and tireless spirit will always remain an inspiration to us all.
We celebrate his life and legacy, and we pray for strength and comfort for his family and loved ones.

**Rest in peace, Karunakaran sir. Your legacy of service will live on.** 🙏

Mahua (Madhuca longifolia) is more than just a tree—it is a lifeline for tribal communities across India. From collection to value-added products, it creates sustainable livelihoods, empowers women, and strengthens rural economies.

When nature is nurtured, communities thrive.

With years of experience in bringing education to dropout children, CASA continues its commitment to ensuring that every child gets a second chance to learn, grow, and dream.

We are now expanding our efforts in the NCR region by proposing to open a Bridge School—a safe learning space designed to help out-of-school children reconnect with education and build a brighter future.

To make this vision a reality, we are seeking collaboration with corporates and partners who believe in the power of education and want to create lasting impact.

Together, we can turn missed opportunities into new beginnings.
