Council for Green Revolution (CGR), a Non-profit organization based out of Hyderabad, was founded on 22nd April 2010 (Earth Day), to work towards pressing environmental issues. The rapid erosion of greenery and degradation of ecosystems in semi-arid regions of Southern India gave the impetus for a positive, proactive, and massive green movement. This has been the genesis of CGR, which strives them to be committed green think tanks and catalysts for change. It works towards the conservation of nature and the promotion of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The organizations’ areas of work include local to global environmental concerns like loss of biodiversity, dwindling natural resources, desertification, pollution, climate change, environmental security, etc. Local concerns, SDGs, and UN Conventions act as a guide in CGR’s work. CGR hopes to see a change in the mindset and actions of people towards the conservation of nature and natural resources through its effective initiatives. It is determined to impact the views on ecosystems, economy, and equity to a considerable extent.
