C-CHAUPAL: COMPASSION DRIVEN CHAUPAL
C20 India 2023 Working Group on Sustainable and Resilient Communities – Climate, Environment and Net Zero Targets has been spearheading C-Chaupal initiatives across rural India. Chaupal is a word in the Hindi language which refers to a common area in a rural village where community members gather for discussions. Drawing inspiration from this, the concept of Compassion Driven Chaupals was launched to organize inclusive and participatory meetings of all sections of rural communities without discrimination of age, gender, caste, class, and income levels in several communities across India to bring out the voices and concerns of the villagers to the C20 and G20 leadership.

Message from the Chair, C20 India 2023
Our Inspiration
Nature is so out of balance these days,” Amma said. “We see very clearly how the climate is changing. In the non-rainy season, it often rains very heavily. The summers are getting hotter and longer. In some places where it has never snowed before, suddenly snow is falling. Crops are failing. Trees do not bear fruit. We need to proceed carefully with the awareness that each of us has a responsibility to protect Mother Nature. From planting trees and recycling to carpooling to not using wasteful plastic—each of us must do our part and pray for God’s grace. These days it seems everyone is aware of their rights, but no one is aware of their responsibilities.”
Amma,
Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi ❤️
