ENVIRONMENT EDUCATION: MVF lays emphasis on educating
and creating awareness on environment issues. Awareness activities

the youth in the villages. MVF has facilitated the formation of
committees for drinking water and regular monitoring in schools.

sand quarrying, meetings about village cleanliness, clean drinking
water and data collection of environmental issues. M.V.Foundation

and students.
