New Delhi, April 10: Marking a significant leap in environmental innovation, the Net Green Foundation was formally launched today by Raj Bhushan Choudhary, Hon’ble Minister of State for Jal Shakti, during the 19th Water Digest World Water Awards — an event that celebrates outstanding contributions to water conservation and innovation. The launch, energized by visionary discussions, also featured the participation of Dr. Benno Boer, Programme Specialist and Chief of Sector – Natural Sciences at UNESCO.
Conceived as a progressive force for sustainability, the Net Green Foundation aims to address global environmental challenges through a “glocal” strategy — combining global insight with local action. Guided by the powerful motto “Towards a Sustainable Tomorrow – Driving Awareness, Action, and Impact,” the foundation is committed to tackling urgent climate issues such as global warming, dwindling natural resources, and extreme weather conditions.
A Vision Fueled by Urgency and Possibility
The Foundation acknowledges the pressing environmental challenges of our time — from social resistance and economic inequality to resource scarcity and misinformation. However, it sees in these challenges an opportunity to champion the energy transition, promote water conservation, encourage sustainable lifestyles, advance circular economies, and strengthen climate-resilient communities. The initiative echoes the spirit of the Prime Minister’s environmental vision, calling for collective action from communities, industries, and policymakers.
Empowering Change Through a Holistic Framework
Distinguished by its non-profit and inclusive model, the Net Green Foundation is built around a robust, multi-pronged approach rooted in global awareness and grassroots engagement. Its operations will focus on five key pillars:
-
Media Amplification – Sharing inspiring environmental stories through dedicated publications and digital platforms.
-
Academy – Offering education, research, and training to cultivate a new generation of sustainability leaders.
-
Centres of Excellence – Co-developing tailored sustainability solutions through expert collaboration.
-
Awards, Events, and Webinars – Highlighting green innovation and celebrating environmental leadership.
-
Grassroots Initiatives – Rolling out community-based programs that deliver tangible environmental impact.
The foundation’s guiding philosophy — AAC: Awareness, Action, Change — serves as a rallying cry to shift mindsets, shape proactive policies, and mobilize meaningful environmental engagement.

The Net Green Foundation invites environmental advocates, industry changemakers, and local leaders to join its mission.
