Description
Pragya is a non-profit, development organisation, registered in India and the United Kingdom, working for appropriate development of vulnerable communities and sensitive ecosystems of the world.
In 1990, two management professionals set out on an exploration of the Indian Himalayas- a jouney through its entire length, from Itanagar in the east to Leh in the west.
They saw the deprivation of the indigenous communities, the enormous and yet fast depleting natural wealth, the tremendously rich and yet eroding culture and traditional knowledge. They saw the conservation and development needs, and the neglect. The vision of Pragya was born, the path to sustainable development through the application of technical and managerial knowledge and a business mind-set to development issues and needs. (Pragya means transcendental wisdom that leads to realisation).
