About Our Pahad Trust
PAHAD Trust (Professional Assistance for Hill Area Development) is a non-profit organization based in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh, dedicated to empowering hill communities through sustainable agriculture and rural development. Since 2020, we've been working with over 2,000 farmers across Chamba and Kangra districts, promoting natural farming practices that are eco-friendly, climate-resilient, and rooted in local traditions.
Through training, awareness programs, and our initiative PAHAD Organics, we help farmers improve productivity, connect to fair markets, and build self-reliant livelihoods. We also focus on women empowerment, youth engagement, and facilitating access to government schemes.
Our vision is to create thriving hill communities where agriculture supports both people and the planet. By combining traditional knowledge with modern techniques, we are building a sustainable future—one farm at a time.
Join us in growing a better tomorrow.
