Headquartered in Vadodara, Gujarat, Deepak Foundation brings together multidisciplinary teams driven by passion, professionalism, and a shared purpose. Registered under the Bombay Public Trust Act 1950 (E.3122-BARODA), the Foundation has grown significantly since its inception. Established in 1982 with the vision of providing medical and healthcare services to workers’ families and the local community near the Nandesari industrial area, the Foundation today operates across six states—Gujarat, Maharashtra, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, and New Delhi.
Mangroves
Mangroves, though covering less than 1% of the Earth’s surface, are vital ecosystems that protect 75% of tropical coastlines across 112 countries. Rich in biodiversity, with over 50 species, mangroves act as natural barriers against storms, reduce coastal erosion, and store up to 1,025 metric tons of carbon per hectare—providing ecosystem services valued at $194,000 per hectare annually. India hosts 3.1% of the global mangrove cover, with major concentrations in West Bengal, Gujarat, and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. In Gujarat’s Dahej region, nearly 80% of the 10–15 km coastline is devoid of mangroves, making restoration critical not only for biodiversity and climate resilience but also for strengthening local livelihoods. Reviving these coastal forests is essential for sustaining both people and the planet.
Deepak Foundation’s initiative aims to secure the coastline and preserve biodiversity along the South Gujarat coast in Dahej district through mangrove restoration driven by community participation. The project focuses on restoring 50 acres of mangrove cover across the coastal stretch of Jageshwar, Paniyadra, and Aladar villages, creating a natural buffer against erosion, storms, and climate-related threats. A key objective is to sensitize and engage local communities in the restoration and long-term management of these ecosystems, fostering ownership and environmental stewardship. Additionally, the project seeks to document measurable changes in biodiversity and capture both the tangible and intangible benefits experienced by the community before and after restoration, providing a replicable model for community-led coastal resilience.
