Tathaagat Foundation is an offshoot of Bakri Chaap, which started a movement in Garhwal part of Himalayas, to engaged the local community with an idea of becoming a pioneering force in rural development, with a motto of “Creating an Alternate Ecosystem – Village by Village, One Village at a time!” thus focusing on uplifting marginalized communities in the region. This pioneering initiative gradually became the most successful reverse migration model of India.
Bakri Chaap, through its non-profit arm Tathaagat brought back the lost traditional farm practices through community engagement initiatives, which highly encouraged ethical and sustainable farm practices. This is gradually transforming the farm practices of Garhwal region.
The concept of traditional way of living , through a eco- sustainable house using locally sourced material is gaining popularity across the most vulnerable and fragile Himalayan region is another well conceptualized by Bakri Chaap.

Since inception, we at the Tathaagat Foundation (TF) worked hard to push through plans, schemes and programs for rural development in Uttarakhand, UP and MP states. Funds generated and received from Patrons and benefactors were put to good use in Tehri and Uttarkashi Districts where we could help the needy and educating the youth in particular and rural belts of 8 states in general through our CBCC (Change Before Climate Change) initiatives. We helped create self-help-groups and Cooperatives to gain Grants, Aid and CSR for establishing cottage industry, Livelihood generation alternatives and Circular economy for Marginal Farmers and small business owners. Board Members worked hard to facilitate growth and enhance awareness of techniques to boost rural economy. We groomed Local Leaders and motivated small business mixers to hold hands to succeed as a community.
