Media Coverage
Grassroots environmental organisations operate, for the most part, in obscurity. The work is on the ground, in villages, among people who do not make headlines. Funders, partners, government officials, and the wider public often remain unaware of what is being achieved — limiting the resources, support, and institutional recognition available to organisations doing genuinely important work.For Earth Healers Foundation, media coverage was never an end in itself. But it was recognised as a means — a way of amplifying the community's story, attracting support, building accountability, and inspiring other villages and organisations to follow a similar path.
Overview
What We did
Earth Healers Foundation's work in Kheel Jasli attracted media attention organically — journalists and reporters who saw what was happening and recognised it as a story worth telling. Dr. Priya Saklani and the foundation engaged openly with media requests, provided access to project sites, shared documentation of before-and-after conditions, and made themselves available for interviews and coverage.
The composting facility inauguration, attended by ADC and BDO officials, generated particularly strong media interest — with coverage appearing in Divya Himachal (one of Himachal Pradesh's most widely read newspapers), India Live News 24×7, Bharat Kesari TV, and several local and district-level publications. The coverage consistently framed Earth Healers Foundation's work as a pioneering, replicable model for rural environmental management.
Impact & Current status
Media coverage has had a measurable impact on the foundation's reach and recognition. New volunteers have come forward after reading or watching coverage of our work. Government officials have engaged more readily after seeing the foundation featured in credible publications.
Other villages have reached out after learning about the Kheel Jasli model through the press.Perhaps most importantly, the coverage has given the residents of Kheel Jasli and Kheel Barser a sense that their story matters — that the transformation happening in their village is not invisible, but recognised, celebrated, and held up as an example to others.
What's next
Earth Healers Foundation will continue to document and share its work through media channels — and is developing its own digital presence, including this website, to ensure that the foundation’s story is told accurately, fully, and in its own voice, reaching supporters, partners, and communities across India and beyond.
