Arupadayappa began with one family farm nobody believed could grow anything again. A decade later, we're a field-first restoration organisation working across five districts.
In 2016 our founder came home to a silted tank, dry wells, and his grandfather's farm written off as barren. He restored it himself, and when the first harvest came in, the neighbours brought their land and the panchayat brought the tank. That same sequence, prove it on one plot and the landscape follows, is still our method today.
Ten years of restoration, one verified milestone at a time.
Founded as a volunteer collective restoring a single village tank in Sivagangai.
Registered as a public charitable trust; first full-time field team and soil lab partnership.
First government convergence project, 3-tank cascade under district watershed mission.
Community seed bank established at Usilampatti; 30 varieties in first year.
First corporate CSR flagship landscape signed; third-party verification made standard on all sites.
Green energy pillar launched with the Kombai solar irrigation cluster.
Crossed 300 acres reclaimed; open data dashboard published for all active sites.
Operating across 5 districts with 12 partner villages and 2 field centres.
The last step of every evaluation is a conversation with the people. We're easy to reach and quicker to respond than you expect.
