About Founder

Sh. Ravi Kalra was a well-known Karma Yogi, world traveller, social activist and environmentalist and the main driving force behind the establishment of our NGO, The Earth Saviours Foundation (T.E.S.F).

In 2008, Mr. Ravi Kalra’s vision for community, animal and environmental welfare came to life, with the establishment of his own non-profit, The Earth Saviours Foundation (T.E.S.F). He will always be the founder of this nobal organisation, which is an internationally recognized non-profit. Ravi Kalra was also known as the “No Honking Man of India” as he was the first Indian to launch the ‘Do Not Honk’ campaign. The campaign focuses on reducing and controlling noise pollution which is caused by vehicular honking. The campaign, under his guidance, holds the world record for pasting more than one lakh Do Not Honk stickers on the bumpers of vehicles.

He was the only non-priest in the world due to his project Karmic seva which is responsible for the cremation of more than 8000 unclaimed and unidentified dead bodies at the electric cremation centers. These unidentified bodies are located and brought to the cremation center by the law enforcement authorities, at the centre, Ravi Kalra offered essential crematorium services and performs the cremation ceremony.
