Thank you!

We believe that an understanding of our problems and their roots must be supplemented with a vision of what needs to be done or is being done. The areas we emphasise are:

Care of Natural Resources (soil, water, forests, biodiversity),
Ecological Agriculture and Traditional Systems,
Indigenous and other Appropriate Technologies,
Non-Formal Education,
Natural Health,
Alternative Lifestyles, Cultur

es & World Views

As individuals, we at Earthcare are actively involved in a collective venture of forest regeneration and organic farming, about twelve years old, and shaping marvelously on the ground. The forest now has dense and fairly tall growth, with very high biodiversity. The thick vegetation, along with water harvesting measures, has significantly improved the recharge of ground water, benefiting neighbouring villages as well. The collective hopes to start here soon, a practice-oriented learning alliance involving more people, particularly youngsters—both local adivasis, as well as some sensitive urban folk. We welcome feedback from readers who are involved in, or are aware of similar individual or group initiatives exploring saner alternatives, whether related to natural regeneration, aforestation, organic farming, non-formal learning, natural health and indigenous technologies. We would be happy to include publications on such initiatives in our catalogue. Please keep us informed and preferably send us a sample copy of each title you would like mentioned in the catalogue. Ethical Investment with Earthcare Books-
Looking ahead, there are a number of books we would like to publish in the coming months or year—more than we can afford to on our own financial strength. We would thus be glad to receive collaborative support for such future publications. Individual offers of Rs 5000/- or multiples thereof as 'ethical investments' (refundable on one month's notice without interest) are welcome. Such 'solidarity deposit' would entitle you to 25% discount on all the books published by us that you directly buy, while your deposit is still with us. We would also offer 10% discount on a number of other books from other publishers, listed in our catalogue. No postage will be charged for any orders from our 'collaborative investors' or 'solidarity depositors'.

What Bengal Thinks Today

In March and April, the film makers spoke to a cross-section of individuals – representatives of political parties, civil society organisations, scholars, journalists and creative artists – cutting across ideological lines, to put together this 22-minute documentary film.

The outcome of the assembly elections in West Bengal, which will be declared on May 2, 2021, will have a profound impact on the political future of India. In...

Mint Lounge released a list of books yesterday that was rather ambitiously titled “The Guide to India in 50 Books”
While the list with predictable titles are predictably impressive, the curators missed out on one aspect completely - not a single writing or writer from India’s Northeast was represented in the list.
As a responsible bookstore in the northeast, we have curated a list of titles. This represents writings on Northeast India by writers from the region by origin or by spirit.
This list is by no means complete. We constantly keep running out of many popular titles. Others suffer terrible supply-line glitches (because we are located in the “remote” northeast and the problems that such distances lead to). There is so much writing happening here, and not just in the English language. And many by numerous independent publishing houses, that sell only at independent bookshops locally. No quick search online will give you a ready list of the books out there.
However, this is a start.
Please comment and share the titles not featured here that talks about the northeast that you feel we should read and stock up on.
This othering of a major part of the republic can only end if we read and learn and re-educate ourselves about the world at large.
About time YOU made a start!
[We ship books everywhere. Please message us or call us at 9733102304 if you want any of these titles sent to you]
