Local Nonprofit News: How Green Vision Society is Empowering Assam’s Villages
When it comes to community transformation, local nonprofit work plays a vital role. Beyond headlines and global campaigns, there are quiet revolutions happening in rural corners of India. These efforts deserve to be seen, shared, and supported.
At Green Vision Society, based in Nagaon, Assam, we believe that grassroots work creates the strongest roots of change. In this edition of our local nonprofit news, we bring you real stories of progress from Paschim Phutalzar and nearby villages — in education, sanitation, women empowerment, and environment.
Village School Gets a Digital Makeover
Pub Phutalzar’s first smart classroom launched
In May 2025, Green Vision Society partnered with a local panchayat and donors to launch a smart classroom in a government primary school in Pub Phutalzar. The digital tools include a projector, tablet-enabled curriculum, and solar-powered electricity backup.
For students like Anita, who had never seen a tablet before, learning has become interactive and exciting. “Earlier we only had blackboards and chalk. Now we can watch science experiments on video,” she says with a smile.
This project is a model for future village education upgrades in Assam.
Local Women Start Sanitary Pad Enterprise
Hygiene awareness turns into a livelihood opportunity
As part of our ongoing health initiative, Green Vision Society launched a Women’s Hygiene Campaign across three villages in Rupahihat block. During this, 40 women were trained not just in menstrual health but also in making low-cost sanitary napkins using biodegradable material.
Out of this, a group of 8 women started Nirmala Pads, a small home-based unit that now sells affordable sanitary products to over 300 women per month.
This not only improved hygiene but also became a source of regular income—turning awareness into economic empowerment.
Weekly Clean-Up Drives Transform Local Environment
Plastic waste and open littering were rising problems in the market areas of Pub Phutalzar. So in January 2025, Green Vision Society launched the “Clean Bazaar Mission”.
Every Sunday morning, schoolchildren, local vendors, and volunteers gather with gloves and sacks to clean the roads, ponds, and public areas.
Thanks to these efforts:
- 2 tons of plastic have been recycled
- 6 bins were installed
- The bazaar area is visibly cleaner and better organized
Local shopkeeper Bilal Ahmed says, “Our customers feel better shopping in a clean area. Sales have even improved.”
