His expertise lies inter alia at the interface of environment and development as well as business and ethics.<\/p>\n<p>His search for appropriate tools and approaches in how to bring about real change in the behaviour of the \u2018privileged\u2019 led him to design a residential programme called \u2018pathways to sustainable development\u2019. The 3 main pillars of this experiential and contemplative learning are: dignity of physical work; interdependence and interconnectedness. The programme is hosted by<\/p>\n<p>the agrarian community and partly taught by the village women leaders. The programme is the recipient of International Mountain Prize 2020.<\/p>\n<p>To promote the approach beyond the confines of the village, he helped create the Foundation for Contemplation of Nature 7 years ago. The Foundation has been able to hold side events in several global conferences and offices of world leaders bringing them closer to experience of Contemplation of (inner and outer) Nature. The concept has been well received and the work was published in Chile, \u2018Contemplacion de la Naturelza\u2019 for Spanish speakers and it is available on Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>Academically, Ajay has master\u2019s degrees in Applied Ethics as well as in Environmental Sciences and a baccalaureate in Agriculture and Agroforestry. He has travelled to over 25 countries in relation to his work.\u00a0 He is recipient of several awards and honours such as South Asian Youth Leader (1991); Erasmus Mundus European Union Fellow (2007) and Nehru Fulbright Environmental Leadership Fellow (2010). His work has taken him to over 25 countries; he is respectful of all cultures, dignity, and equity and follows a life deeply connected to earth elements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_icon_box_09oa3jk6la\" class=\"cmsmasters_icon_box cmsmasters_icon_heading_left box_icon_type_icon\">\n<div class=\"icon_box_inner\">\n<h5 class=\"icon_box_heading cmsmasters-icon-mail-alt\">info@risingqueens.in<\/h5>\n<div class=\"icon_box_text\">\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_row_0qrhapw0zs\" class=\"cmsmasters_row cmsmasters_color_scheme_third cmsmasters_row_top_default cmsmasters_row_bot_default cmsmasters_row_boxed\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_overlay\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_inner\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_margin\">\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_column_x16iy7qz5k\" class=\"cmsmasters_column one_first\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column_inner\"><div id=\"cmsmasters_heading_o14w6sp8w\" class=\"cmsmasters_heading_wrap cmsmasters_heading_align_left\">\n\t<h2 class=\"cmsmasters_heading\">Become a Volunteer<\/h2>\n<\/div><div id=\"cmsmasters_fb_qixwn2q27n\" class=\"cmsmasters_featured_block\">\n<div class=\"featured_block_inner\">\n<div class=\"featured_block_text\">\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_button_3abgeslw9u\" class=\"button_wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLScWmOWll-1_A3oSWj6eApNU2nLNV0D6_ZJRGOFTz6HfkBwUww\/viewform\" class=\"cmsmasters_button\"><span>Join Us Now!<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_row_9og9c005jw\" class=\"cmsmasters_row cmsmasters_color_scheme_default cmsmasters_row_top_default cmsmasters_row_bot_default cmsmasters_row_boxed\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_inner\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_margin\">\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_column_6l2l06gnlr\" class=\"cmsmasters_column one_first\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column_inner\"><div id=\"cmsmasters_heading_va3e3quiak\" class=\"cmsmasters_heading_wrap cmsmasters_heading_align_center\">\n\t<h2 class=\"cmsmasters_heading\">For any inquiries call us at: +91 9435700011<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":17220,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-17307","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
