We Built trust Sankala Foundation
The Sankala Foundation is a non-profit organisation established in 2022 under Section (8) of the Companies Act, 2013 of India. Our primary focus is to strengthen the knowledge base and promote dialogue among various stakeholders to foster initiatives that contribute to the sustainability of our planet. We are particularly committed to mitigating the effects of climate change and environmental disasters, with a strong focus on protecting and fostering vulnerable communities.
The Foundation actively engages in research and promotes knowledge–based advocacy. We strive to contribute to developing sustainable policies and practices, and to foster partnerships at all levels with governments, NGOs, the scientific community, and domain experts who share similar objectives.
Thought Philosophy
‘Sankala’, a Hindi word that embodies the concept of ‘the coming together of all elemental units as one,’ serves as the guiding principle for our organisation. This principle is anchored in the Aristotelian philosophy that emphasises “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts”. This drives our commitment to leveraging the synergy of ideas, energy, and knowledge in our mission to build a climate resilient and sustainable planet.
By embracing this belief of ‘Sankala’, we recognise the power of collaboration and the inter-relation of various elements in our work. We believe that by uniting diverse resources, perspectives, and efforts, one can create a more harmonious, and transformative impact to address emerging challenges.
Sankala Logo
The logo incorporates the Bodhi leaf as a symbol of progress towards a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable world. The connection between the axil of the Bodhi leaf, the ring of blue plants and network grids represents two essential aspects:
-
the intimate relationship and inter-connectedness between knowledge, sustainability, and life forms on Earth; and
-
the dissemination and networking of knowledge and wisdom with the rest of the world, emphasising the importance of spreading information and insights to drive positive change.
Therefore, it reflects the need for collaboration and cooperation on a global scale to tackle issues effectively. The word ‘Sankala’ in the logo, along with its union with the globe, represents the concept of ‘Sankalan’ or aggregation. It signifies the coming together of knowledge, ideas, cultures, science, innovation, and entrepreneurship. It reflects how this association can drive the world towards a better future.
It is in your hands to create a better world for all who live in it.
