How It All Began
The journey of Tarangini Foundation from a spark of concern to a movement of change
A Call from the River
Tarangini Foundation was born from a simple yet powerful observation — our rivers were choking, our forests were shrinking, and our communities were disconnected from the environment they depended on.
The name "Tarangini" — derived from the Hindi word for waves — symbolizes the continuous, flowing nature of our work. Just as waves reshape shorelines over time, we believe persistent community action can reshape our environmental landscape.
What started as small clean-up drives along the Ghaggar River in Haryana has grown into a multi-faceted environmental organization engaging thousands of volunteers, students, and community members across the state.
"We don't just clean rivers — we ignite a sense of responsibility towards nature in every individual we touch."

Growing Every Day
