Tekdi Pune is a group of young people; school & college students, working people as well as young at heart "Kakas & Ajobas" united in a common cause to make the Hills of Pune as well as our City green.

Tekdi Pune was started in the Summer of 2001 by a small group of students who had just given their 12th exams then. Appalled by the condition of Pune & the pollution that our generation has to live through, they decided to do something to change all this & really make a difference instead of complaining & discussing the condition.

It all began with the Tekdi Webpage on geocities being launched in September 2000 which got immense support from Puneites all over the world. With the help of a sponsor, a Puneite from London who wishes not to be named, a full fledged Tekdi Website www.tekdi.org was launched a few months later. The onsite work began in June 2001 at the Law College Tekdi (L.C.T.) Hill slope which was a barren rocky slope then.

Since then Tekdi Pune has never looked back. The L.C.T. work site has flourished with over 100 trees under maintenance by the L.C.T. branch and presently the work of the Soil and slope restoration in progress. Besides two new branches on at Chaturshrungi & the other at Parvati have also Been Launched.
