EcoDEVA is a non-profit NGO in India (175/2017/DSLA/EI-S-ED). Though EcoDEVA would mean as God of Environment Conservation in the local language, we have expanded it to an alternative acronym that stands for: EcoDEVA means - "Environment Conservation Oriented Development Alternatives", and also, "Ethnic and Cultural Oriented Development Development Alternatives". While working in rural-urban communities, we engage volunteers and interns to bring new ideas and energy in exchange of experiential learning and personal/professional development in a grass-roots level local and international development work. Our projects include - sustainable agriculture, natural resources management, water conservation, reforestation and wildlife conservation, animal care, environmental health, renewable energy, eco-building, micro-finance, micro-entrepreneurship, women empowerment, alternative education, etc.
