AGE CARE PROJECT

While we are documenting for WILD ANIMALS and BIRDS species of Kangra Valley, we use to stay at high hills with local tribal families. During our stay with these people we have very shocking encounter with humans. We saw many old bed-ridden people without having any Medicare and lack of basic need. Moreover we met some orphan child they were staying with relatives or in to the community. These kids were in very bad shape no education, no proper food, shelter etc some of them were regularly beaten-up by relatives.

So we took initiative to help these poor old people and orphan child. We have trained one of our employee as Home-Nurse, that way we can provide home based nursing care to these poor bed-redden people.
Under this project we have provided winter-aid, medicines, food for old bed-ridden people and 3 children has been sent to school.

Himalayan Nature Society is highly thankful to STATE BANK of INDIA, Dharamsala, LIONS CLUB, Dharamsala for funding our Age Care Project and we are equally thankful to TIBET CHARITY, Dharamsala for training our employee as Home-nurse and Anna Marie Van Assche to provide us financial support.

WATER CONSERVATION PROJECT

Under water conservation project we are putting our efforts to conserve “Traditional Water Sources of Himalayan Region”

The first development project in regards to the conservation of local natural springs is located in the Kajlot Panchyat (Village Council) under the hilly terrain area of Dharmasala in the Kangra Valley.

This project encompasses a variety of tribal groups including the Chola and the Naddi villages, spreading to affect a population of over 2300 individuals. Due to the accumulating amounts of waste and fecal dispersal in the region, a dire need for protection and regeneration of the local sources has been acquired throughout the regions.

onsequentially, the traditional water sources are the source of many current health problems in the regions. It is for this reason that the 5 new springs have been constructed and are heavily used by the local villagers.

This project is generously funded by DFID (Department for International Development) under Embassy of England, New Delhi.

Degrading green forest cover of Dhouladhair Himalaya is major concern of our Society. Volunteer of Himalayan Nature Society are regulearly being involved in plantation drives with Native Species (Trees, Flowers, Shrebus photo).
