Blooming Earth (meaning Umalti Pruthvi in Marathi) is a movement which started by bunch of like-minded and like-hearted people of Kadwai village and aimed at a ‘Road to the Almighty’ involved not one, but many a step towards their vision of Shaping the future of Kadwai and nearby villages by preserving their Heritage & Environment, discovering New Knowledge, and use of our Natural Resources for a better world.
Our goals are to cultivate Barren Lands, make villages Self-Sufficient, promote Arts and Crafts, make education to reach every willing daughter & son, Empower Women with skills to be self-dependent, help Kadwai and nearby villages blossom.
We seek the coming together of like-minded & like-hearted people, who can dedicate their time in the cause of mankind and people who can sacrifice what they love the most in the cause of betterment of villages and nature conservation. We want to work together filling our minds with the quest for knowledge and hearts with the remembrance of the divine.
I commend Blooming Earth on their eco-friendly sustainable interventions in Kadwai, our native land. Their visionary environmental pathways and approaches through the years has impacted the lives of the residents in Kadwai in significant ways which has been appreciated by “Kadwaikars” and also non residents across the globe
The Government authorities, eminent Institutes and Social Activists have empathized, recognized and helped Blooming Earth in Management of Natural Resources, Education & Health friendly initiatives . I wish them fresh, everlasting, consistent and continuous success in their programs in Nature Care, Water Conservation, Social Welfare and Education
Their name spells their aim and speaks of their accomplishments ... Blooming Earth has successfully attracted diasporas back to their ancestral Village. And have started making their part of the Mother Earth 'Sujalam - Suphalam'. Now they are on their path to extend the benefit to the entire village. We wish them Best of Support and Luck in staying true to their Name.
The Euphoria that ‘Blooming Earth’ has created with its work at village ‘Kadwai’ is Exemplary and an Inspiration to several other villages in the Konkan region. Their work in the field of Environmental Management & Water Conservation with peoples participation in cleaning up Rivers & Building Weir Dams has been divinely blessed. Many of their social projects like the ‘Dilon ka mela’ and the much acclaimed ’Zaiqa E Kadwai’ have been a revelation. We at Kokan Bhumi Pratishthan have been proud to be associated with them and would support & Encourage them in their noble initiatives.
From the village (Kadwai) that has predominantly Seafarers, "They'd rather become a Lighthouse than being a lifeboat"
Over the 4 years or so that I've known the people behind the Blooming Earth Foundation - they are truly amazing people. They very passionately care about the beautiful planet we live on and passionately revere the Culture of Kadwai.
From the Zaika-e‘-Kadwai to the River cleanup campaign; from the Community fairs to the grand tree planting; they have celebrated nature and culture in such wonderful ways. I'd rather say, "this is the best service to the society and the environment we live in" and may them be guided by the Almighty to touch lives of people in meaningful ways.
I find it an honor to be associated with them in whatever little ways as possible and pray Almighty to shower upon the team of Blooming Earth Foundation his choicest Rehmat, benediction and grace.
Amen and Best Regards,
Subodh Juwatkar

I am overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of of Kokan . As I set foot in Kadwai it felt like a homecoming . The hospitality of everyone I met and the breathtaking atmosphere was a totally new experience.
I have been privileged to visit many times and each time I leave sadly however with a warm feeling in my heart . I marvel as Kadwai evolved into a modern yet quaint village. The initiatives taken by a small team of people has seen Kadwai blooming. As I have been following the progress ,my admiration grew. The Ecological improvements are awe inspiring with a remarkable new landscape. Soon city dwellers will want to return to their native roots. Including me !!!!!! All the way from Cape Town.

A first ever visit to the Konkan region, I was mesmerized with the scintillating natural beauty of Kadwai against the backdrop of the Sahyadri Mountains ,the lush green valleys, flowing rivers, the chirping of birds and the friendliness of the people. And then we also had the Dilon Ka Mela ,an event which I would remember a lifetime for its spectacular show of tradition ,culture & cuisine of the koknis.

It is a matter of pride & privilege to witness the exemplary work done by Blooming Earth in the field of Social Welfare & environmental projects. Their path breaking initiatives such as the Dilon ka Mela, River Cleaning ,tree plantation and Check Dam construction have benefited the natives and have received recognition for their efforts. I personally wish them well and would look forward to be associated with them for their future endeavors.
