Three ways CEMO drives change
From a sapling in 2003, CEMO has grown into an evergreen tree — a platform for everyone who cares about India’s environment.
Environmental Education
Our biggest success story: eco-jamborees, awareness drives and workshops with schools across Bengal, shaping the citizens of tomorrow.
Wildlife & Habitat Conservation
From peacocks and open-billed storks to the migratory birds of Santragachi Jheel, we act to protect India’s wildlife and their habitats.
Advocacy & Green Movement
Rallies, seminars and protest walks — raising our voice against global warming and for our forests, lakes and wetlands.
Projects on the ground
Two decades of hands-on conservation and awareness across West Bengal — here are our three most recent projects.
2024 • PROTEST & AWARENESS
A protest at Rabindra Sarovar — and a court injunction that stopped a national lake being signed over to a private club.
2024 • EXCURSION
Reading the delta up close at Dayapur Island — Sundari and Hetal, three kingfishers, crocodiles and fishing cats.
2023–25 • WATER CONSERVATION
Over a hundred children in three Kolkata schools ran water audits and built their own rainwater harvesting models.
From a sapling to a tree, CEMO grows with you and me.
Founded under Dr. Ajit Kumar Banerjee — the Father of Social Forestry in India — and led by Mrs. Purnima Dutta, CEMO is a strong advocate for the planet, its troubled wildlife, and a younger generation striving for a greener tomorrow.
- A platform for individuals, NGOs and NGIs passionate about ecology.
- Rooted in Bengal’s schools — our most successful work.
- A registered non-profit with 80G tax exemption.
Join CEMO for a better, safer, cleaner, greener environment.

We know. We act. We care. A movement for a better, safer, cleaner, greener environment.
