LEAF was founded in 2003 by the spouses of Indian Forest officers from Gujarat who were passionate about the environment and wildlife. With similar experience of residing in Gujarat’s forests and tribal areas with their spouses, these women nature enthusiasts decided to create a body (a NGO) where work for the environment and society could be done. Smt. Manjula Sharma spearheaded this initiative, which was backed by Smt. Bulbul Khanna and Smt. Anjali Srivastava. The organisation was named – Ladies Environment Action Forum (LEAF), which was changed to Ladies Environment Action Foundation, headquartered at Gandhinagar. LEAF was registered in the year 2016, administered professionally by an elected body of spouses of Indian Forest Service Officers of Gujarat cadre. The members of LEAF are spouses of IFS officers of Gujarat.
