Our story:
Bitten by the travel bug I decided to take a break and travel to 13 countries. It was then that my life took a new turn. At every stop on my trip I met people who had come together to build a beautiful and sustainable infrastructure in the remote and harsh regions of the world. “How can I help my family and friends in the twin cities build such eco friendly systems and facilities in Hubballi Dharwad?” was the lingering question that stuck to me throughout my travel.
ELF was born in 2011 but the vision to create a synergy between the citizens, governance and business leaders to enable the state of the art sustainable solutions for our twin city came about after the travels.
Over the last 4+ years we have focused on projects encouraging healthy society and environment, sustainability, citizen empowerment, protecting children in need, art & creativity and education.
Vision:
Connect, collaborate and enable citizens, government organizations, NGOS’s and champions to strengthen our communities, infrastructure and environment.
