The Walking Monk Foundation recognizes that protecting the environment is not just an act of conservation — it is an act of justice. Environmental degradation in India often affects those who are already the most vulnerable — rural communities, tribal groups, small farmers, fisherfolk, daily wage earners, and urban poor.
Polluted air, unsafe water, deforestation, and loss of natural habitats threaten not only ecosystems but also livelihoods, health, and basic human rights. For us, the environment is not a separate issue — it is the foundation of life, equity, and sustainability.
We are inspired by Baba Preetam Shah’s philosophy of harmony between humanity and nature. Guided by this ethos, our environmental justice initiatives combine legal intervention, community engagement, and policy advocacy to safeguard both people and the planet.
The Foundation uses the power of law to hold polluters accountable and protect ecological rights.
Our environmental legal cell works on:
Through such actions, we ensure that the law remains a guardian of both nature and human welfare.
Climate change is no longer a distant threat — it is a lived reality for millions of Indians. Floods, droughts, heatwaves, and erratic rainfall are disproportionately impacting small farmers, women, and tribal populations who depend on natural resources.
We view climate justice as a moral and legal imperative, ensuring that environmental protection benefits everyone — not just the privileged few.
Awareness is the seed of sustainability. The Foundation conducts environmental education and awareness programmes in schools, colleges, and communities to cultivate an ethic of ecological responsibility.
Our initiatives include:
By educating today’s citizens, we prepare tomorrow’s environmental defenders.
Development must not come at the cost of destruction. We advocate for development models that are equitable, sustainable, and legally accountable.
Our efforts include:
We believe in “right development” — not no development — where progress respects people and the planet.
Cities are both engines of growth and centers of pollution. The Foundation undertakes urban initiatives focused on:
Through partnerships with municipal bodies and resident associations, we transform urban spaces into eco-responsible communities.
We engage in evidence-based research to inform law and policy.
Our research unit documents:
We prepare reports, policy briefs, and environmental audits that guide both government and civil society towards responsible action.
Environmental protection requires collective effort. We partner with:
Together, we aim to create a national movement for environmental justice and responsible living.
The Walking Monk Foundation envisions a future where:
The Walking Monk Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Bhupendra Pratap Singh, inspired by the noble life and principles of Baba Preetam Shah — a warrior, reformer, and philanthropist who lived for justice and the welfare of humanity.
