Avani was founded in 1999 by Rashmi Bharti and Rajnish Jain, growing out of the Kumaon chapter of the Barefoot College. Based in Tripuradevi, near Berinag in Pithoragarh district, it creates rural livelihoods through natural-dye handweaving (Earthcraft Cooperative), bioenergy projects such as solar power and pine-needle-based clean cooking fuel, and a primary school combining Montessori and Steiner approaches.
