“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

– Margaret Mead

Even before eNyota Learning was born, the founders have always wanted it to be something more than just a business and give back to the community.

We, as an organization, operate in an ethical and sustainable way to deal with environmental and social impacts and causes. Our compassion and love for these causes is what has kept us going.

In 2014, eNyota Learning formulated a plan to institutionalize our responsibility as corporate citizens of our country and the world. We strive to consolidate the good intentions and efforts of all team members at eNyota to be able to make a meaningful impact.

These are a few causes we have taken up over the past few years.

What an experience it was! No doubt this is one of the noblest deeds. In an era of unwanted and extreme cutting down of trees, this initiative is a great movement indeed. Initiatives of such kind do not need much monetary support, rather it requires people to volunteer and support such a cause, and this is what we eNoytians did at Chaturshrungi hill. And we feel happy to have done such a noble deed.

It started with a trek on a beautiful rainy morning at the Chaturshrungi temple. The saplings were transferred to the destination with the help of a manual chain. After a quick and valuable demo on how to correctly plant trees, we started our mission. We formed groups for conducting various activities such as diggings the pits, carrying manure, and planting the saplings. A variety of plants were planted which included neem, sacred fig (Peepal), Indian Oleander (Kanher), etc. It truly was a fulfilling experience for all.
