Sanskriti Samvardhan Mandal, Sagroli (Maharashtra)

Sanskriti Samvardhan Mandal (SSM) is a rural development organisation dedicated to fostering educated, prosperous, and sustainable communities through interventions in education, skill development, agriculture, livelihood, and natural resource management on its expansive campus in Sagroli, Nanded district.

I spent time documenting programmes where students across various schools, farmers, and community members engage in learning, hands-on skill building, and environmental stewardship. The photographs capture daily life, collaborative work, and the organisation’s integrated approach to empowering rural individuals and strengthening community resilience.
