I am a child of the Ganga Himalaya , nourished materially and spiritually by Dev Bhoomi, our sacred land. The mountains , forests and Ma Ganga have shaped my imagination, my knowledge ,my science , my life , my activism.
I have been an ecological activist for 4 decades inspired by the Chipko movement which started in the early 1970’s in my region of the Garhwal Himalaya in Uttarakhand.
