Hyderabad-based CGR becomes 1st environmental NGO in India to launch issue on NSE’s SSE

Hyderabad, May 15 (UNI) The Council for Green Revolution (CGR), a Hyderabad-based environmental NGO, has become the first environmental organisation in India to launch an issue on the National Stock Exchange’s Social Stock Exchange (SSE).
The issue, valued at Rs 85 lakh, aims to fund the second stage of its flagship project, Young Earth Leadership Program – Phase 2 (YELP-2), the Council said in a release here on Thursday.
The fundraising issue which opened on May seven, will close on May 27, and uses a unique SEBI-approved instrument called Zero Coupon Zero Principal (ZCZP) bonds.
These bonds offer no interest or principal repayment, but donors can claim 80G income tax benefits.
The Young Earth Leadership Program is CGR’s flagship environmental education and action initiative aimed at empowering students to lead eco-conscious change in their communities.
The programme encourages hands-on learning through activities like composting, plantation drives, biodiversity documentation, and the creation of school-based eco-projects.
CGR also publishes “Pudami,” a dedicated children's bimonthly magazine that shares inspiring stories and best practices from participating schools.
Founded on Earth Day in April 2010, CGR is a pioneering non-profit working to advance environmental stewardship, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable practices across India.
The money raised will help CGR carry out the following activities across Govt schools.
Through this phase, the programme will plant 16,000 saplings, establish 60 KiTech Gardens and Compost Pits for wet waste processing in schools, install 80 Water Harvesting Units, set up five Dry Waste Collection Centres, conduct 30 Climate Education Trainings with domain experts and reach and benefit over 45,000 student Earth leaders.
