According to The World Bank, only a fourth of India’s enormous hydropower potential has been harnessed so far. The Himalayan mountain belt is a hub of freshwater with potential for hydropower generation. Our Government have targets in the remote mountain villages of Himalaya for development by hydropower projects to bring employment opportunities, modern facilities, and infrastructure. But, risk over the natural resources from water resource development plans are unknown. Securing the rich terrestrial and aquatic resources of Himalayan environment is the next big challenge. Our mission is to provide special attention to Himalayan diversity for a sustainable development in future.

Our vision is to bridge the gap between the Scientific Community, Policymakers, and Stake Holders in Himalayan Ecosystem.
