As a part of Shikhar's Corporate Social Responsibility, Capt. Swadesh Kumar, launched Shikhar Eco Foundation (SEF) in an attempt to give back to the communities he has got from. The first initiative of Shikhar Eco Foundation was to adopt Agoda village, in district Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand, India on the Dodital Trek trail. Agoda, the first Rural Tourism village in Uttarakhand is very close to Shikhar Nature Resort, Uttarkashi, India.
Shikhar Eco Foundation supported by Forest Department, Uttarakhand Government and in collaboration with Dodital Eco Vikas Samiti organized a two day "Training program for Lodge Owners and Trekking Guides" on 13-14 August 2010 at Shikhar Nature Resort, Uttarkashi.
Further, Shikhar joined hands with the Forest Department, WWF India and the Agoda village community to clean Dodital Lake and trek route. A four-day expedition was carried out from 8th to 11th November 2010 during which twenty-five sacks of non-biodegradable garbage were collect and sent for recycling. Shikhar also organsied a half day workshop for children of Junior School Agoda Village to teach them about ecology and eco-tourism.
Shikhar has also created a website for the Dodital Eco Vikas Samiti to help them promote and market their products.
