1)  Purpose of the organisation.
Late Sergeant Binoy Kumar Singh after retirement from Indian Air force struggled with the hilly and barren land provided by the govt. and tried his best to convert that into cultivable land. During that time he and his wife Late Mrs. Janki Singh initiated social work for the betterment of the under privileged classes in the area especially the women and children. His strenuous toil transformed the barren land to a fertile one. He taught the people how to cultivate crops by using the technique of biological farming. He was a great environmentalist and social activist. He started the 'Chipko Movement' against the contractors and saved the forest of “Chechali and Jitpur”. With his efforts, the awareness among the people to save the Forest got a new dimension. He was not merely a farmer but also an architect who contributed towards the moral development of human being. Mrs. Janki singh started working for the education and health services of the villages. After the demise of Mr. Singh, his mission carrier and wife Mrs. Janki Singh carried forward the movement. After the demise of Mrs. Janki Singh the Second Line young leaders who have been trained and well motivated by Late Mrs. Singh came forward with constant effort to fulfil the dream of Late Chachajee & Chachijee. PHOOLEEN is very much like a family with staff and the community people and working diligently towards a set goal.
