Since 1993, the Neem Foundation has been striving to promote the Neem Tree as a sustainable solution to global ecological and health concerns. The foundation’s effort has resulted in a very recent and important development that is an equivalent to crossing a milestone in its journey in establishing Neem on a big scale. The government of India allowed fertilizer firms to produce 100 per cent neem coated urea which will help farmers boost income and reducing subsidy bill up to Rs.6,500 crore. The government has in fact made it mandatory to produce at least 75 per cent of urea domestic production neem based. To further provide impetus to utilize neem, the foundation will campaign a plantation of two crore Neem saplings along with petitioning for the Neem tree to be accorded the status of a ‘National Tree’ of India.

Neem Foundation is a forum for unifying global efforts to research and promote the use of the Neem tree and its derivatives in both natural and product forms. The Foundation is funded by the Government of India for implementing specific projects for the Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers, Ministry of Agriculture, among others. The Foundation encourages Neem based enterprises and several renowned companies are associated with the Foundation through Corporate Membership. However, the Foundation has no commercial interests in any company or business and remains a not-for-profit forum for the cause of promoting of Neem.

On this backdrop, the Neem Foundation is embarking on some very grand plans and definitive programmes in the immediate future. For more information, kindly contact us.
