Easter Ghats Meeting Report, 2009

A consultation was organized in the Eastern Ghats of NGOs, CBOs, Researchers, Academicians and practitioners working in the area. As the area is dominated with adivasis, is rich in forests and rife with environmental issues – this meeting was to ascertain the kind of issues facing the Eastern Ghats and share the kind of initiatives being undertaken by organizations in the area. The meeting was also held to develop some ideas on the research requirements and future thrusts to be undertaken in the area to give the Eastern Ghats its necessary cohesive identity. It is envisaged that this effort would help build a coalition to strengthen efforts in the area and lobby for the Eastern Ghats agenda in necessary forum.
