A Life Dedicated to the Commons

Inspired by both the Constitution of India and Gandhiji’s Hind Swaraj, Sandeep works to promote conscious living and participatory democracy in everyday life.

Why Your Support Matters

Sandeep lives a minimalist life and does not maintain personal savings, wealth, or a conventional income. He devotes his time entirely to social work and public interest issues.

Fortunately, he does not incur rent or major living expenses. Funds raised through occasional crowdfunding campaigns are used for:

Travel expenses
Documentation and stationery
Meeting facilitation
Communication tools & Social Media
Emergency and incidental expenses

A broad-based crowdfunding model ensures independence. It enables him to pursue issues fearlessly and take bold, principled positions.

If you believe in these causes, you are warmly invited to support this fundraiser.

Please also share this appeal with your friends, family, and networks.

Thank You

Thank you in advance for enabling Sandeep to devote his time fully to social work.

Let us together create a healthy, participatory, and sustainable reality — for all of us, and for our only home, Planet Earth.
