Satat Sampada (Nature Forever)

Satat Sampada (Nature Forever) is an environmental organization co-founded by Harjeet Singh and Jyoti Awasthi in India. The organization is currently newsworthy due to a recent raid on the co-founders' home by India's Enforcement Directorate (ED). The ED alleges that Singh and Awasthi were paid approximately £500,000 to advocate for a treaty to cut the use of fossil fuels, claiming this undermines the national interest. The investigation centers on the accusation that their anti-fossil fuel campaign is detrimental to India's interests, suggesting a potential conflict between environmental advocacy and national economic priorities. This case highlights the increasing scrutiny and potential challenges faced by environmental activists in India when their work is perceived as conflicting with government policies or economic development goals.
