Team Art of Living at the TCS World 10K Bengaluru

“It’s going to be an emotional run…..”
“I want to raise awareness of the problems”
“I can’t wait to cross the finish line…”

Thoughts before a marathon: All the above and more.
Marathon motivation: Fitness, team spirit, social impact…many.
Impact created when I run: Immeasurable.

If ‘immeasurable’ seems like an exaggeration, consider this. A middle-aged lady, Dwaraka, raised Rs 47 Lacs for a cause at the TCS Marathon last year. A social entrepreneur who continues to invent himself even after retirement, raised Rs 12 Lacs. This is only the money they raised. These amounts have been pumped back into social causes, setting off a valuable chain reaction at the grassroots. Families, children and women have been empowered by giving education and livelihood training.

In the TCS 10K 2017 run:  

  • Rs 25 lakhs were raised for causes associated with children
  • Over a crore was raised for community development
  • Over 2 crores, 16 lakhs were raised for education
  • Total of 9,000+ donors contributed

Here’s a chance for you to run with us.

Join ‘Team Art of Living’ at the TCS World 10K Bengaluru marathon 2018 and become a change maker.

JALTARA WATER CONSERVATION

The Art of Living JalTara is our scalable answer to the water scarcity. This technique is a successful groundwater recharge system used for the area treatment of farmlands. JalTara Recharge Structures are built at the lowest gradient on each one acre of land. The 4 x 4 feet wide and 6 feet deep structures are filled with stones and pebbles.This enables rainwater to bypass the dense impervious topsoil and recharge the groundwater.

The Art of Living Free Schools: For nearly three decades, we have been running free schools in remote tribal, urban slum and rural areas where public education infrastructure is either absent or inaccessible. We focus on the all-round development of the child by integrating spiritual education with conventional learning, building teachers’ capacities, and extensive community engagement. The program has so far reached out to over 2,032 villages

Upgrading Existing Infrastructure: Looking into solving the challenges of both quality and access, we have partnered with multiple corporates to improve the existing public school infrastructure.
