Environment
Our directors have served on the faculties of Harvard, INSEAD, AIM, & elsewhere.
We believe that education has the power to make a difference. Indeed, our first discussion paper is making waves in Parlaiment with leaders who (like us!) want to promote economic development with ecological nurturing.
Our education & research center will be the only one of its kind in the region, and we've chosen a site for it in an agricultural area within 1/2 hour of Nagpur airport, which is currently converting from domestic to international. Through alliances with our partner institutions, we plan to offer the following types of programs. |
