In a dynamic and inspiring step toward inclusive nation-building, Aashid Jeevan Global Foundation and Anti Crop Human Rights Foundation have come together to launch a large-scale social and environmental initiative titled Project Vanam. This collaborative effort represents a new era of synergy between environmental restoration, women empowerment, transgender welfare, and human-rights education. The combined strengths of these two organizations are now shaping a unified mission focused on sustainable development, community upliftment, and equal opportunities for marginalized groups across India.
Both organizations have a strong track record of implementing social welfare initiatives, medical awareness programs, women’s skill development activities, and legal-human rights support. With Project Vanam as the starting point, this collaboration marks the beginning of a broader transformation driven by compassion, empowerment, and long-term impact.
Project Vanam: A Green Revolution Led by Transgender Environmentalist Meghana
The heart of this mission lies in Project Vanam, a massive plantation and environmental restoration campaign led by Meghana, a dedicated transgender environmental activist. Meghana has set a powerful personal goal—to plant 5,500 trees across three major regions:
• Ennore, Tamil Nadu
• Chennai metropolitan surroundings
• Thirunavaya region
The plantation initiative is already underway, supported by volunteers, community leaders, and environmental enthusiasts associated with both NGOs. Meghana’s leadership stands as a powerful symbol of inclusion and representation, proving that transgender individuals are not just participants but leaders in environmental and social action.
Beyond the plantation program, Meghana is committed to expanding her efforts into animal care, rescue operations, and welfare initiatives. Her passion for nature and living beings forms an integral part of the foundation’s vision to protect green cover, wildlife habitats, and ecological balance.
Project Vanam is not merely a plantation drive, but a movement for climate responsibility—one that encourages communities to actively participate in reforesting urban and semi-urban areas, protecting local biodiversity, and cultivating environmental awareness among the you
Shruti Santosh: National President & Secretary Leading Women Empowerment Programs
While environmental efforts expand under Meghana’s guidance, women empowerment remains a key pillar of the mission.
This responsibility is led by Shruti Santosh, a general woman and the National Secretary & President of the foundation.

Her leadership helps bridge the gap between talent, skill, and livelihood, making empowerment accessible to every woman—regardless of her social or economic backgroun
Sowandarya Gopi: Transgender Leader Strengthening Education, Health & Cultural Development
