The Maitree Initiative goes beyond tree planting; it collaborates with government programs like the Public Distribution System (PDS) and Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). This collaboration not only prevents forced migration but also ensures that farmers have improved access to entitlements, providing a comprehensive support structure at the village level. Avoiding the pitfalls of monoculture, Maitree takes a holistic approach to sustainability. By addressing water conservation, preventing soil erosion, and enhancing biodiversity, the initiative ensures a positive impact on ecological diversity. Simultaneously, Maitree creates income opportunities for tribal communities, contributing to economic sustainability.
