Adhi Daiv has transformed desert landscapes in Rajasthan, India through his social enterprise ‘Urvara – Greening Mother Earth’. After crowdfunding for water wheels for rural women at age 13, Adhi discovered a unique dry land agroforestry technique that uses just one liter of water per plant throughout its lifecycle.

His efforts have turned 25 acres of desert into green land, benefiting over 50,000 villagers and 10,000 children. Adhi’s work has also created green playgrounds, provided fodder for cattle, and improved soil fertility. His message emphasizes that every small action contributes to a better future for coming generations.
