Rachita Sinha

Rachita is an educator with immense passion for nature. She firmly believes that education must be reimagined inclusive of nature and not in independent manner. Hailing from Jharkhand, a place which is a combination of lush forests, rich minerals and a state where un-employment and poverty is so high, she understands how holistic education is the missing block. 

Now more than ever, with the pandemic unfolding in the most scary way, we need to understand that we cannot learn about Science, Social Science, Gender, Culture, Politics, and Economy independent of Nature. Hence, Rachita focuses her time and energy to empower youth to improve eco-literacy in their communities. Through the Earth Ambassadors Fellowship, a one-year program that she conceived with her life partner and Co-founder, she has been supporting youth to become environmental educators. 

She has been a Changelooms fellow at Pravah and a GP Birla women leaders fellow at the Ananta Aspen centre. She has completed the Change Leadership Certificate and Gender Inclusive Leadership Certificate with the East-West Center, Honululu, Hawaii in 2020 and is currently set out to become a National Geographic certified Geo-trainer. She intends to keep building her capacity and skill to be able to nurture young people and children to build their ecological acumen
