    Help Us Save The Museum

    The museum does not accept any government or corporate funds; so far it has survived on small, individual donations apart from funding from environmental and activist groups in India and abroad. The fundraiser in 2017 helped us sustain for the past two years. Our funds are now exhausted. For now, the museum will be dismantled unless we raise funds immediately. Help us save the museum.
