About High Himalaya Forum


The High Himalaya Forum is a multi-stakeholder and multi-layered forum for the Himalayan region initiated by Pragya. The forum serves as a platform for raising Himalayan concerns and linking up for solving them through collaborative action and appropriate support. It is also a medium for focussing policy and public attention on Himalayan issues towards improving the quality of Himalayan life.

The HHF has a network of Local HHF Nodes, one in each Himalayan district. The Local HHF Node is a network of community members and local agents of development, comprising the State departments and local authorities, as well as civil society representatives. These Nodes have the aims of advocacy for positive policies, and sharing of information for enabling effective development action. They also promote the social inclusion and capacity building of the members. There are currently 12 Local HHF Nodes in 12 Himalayan districts in India.

At the national level, the forum is a multidimensional network of all stakeholders involved/ interested in the well-being of Himalayan communities - socially, economically or environmentally - for purposes of dialogue and support. Apart from the Convenors and Co-Convenors of the Local HHF Nodes, the national body comprises secondary stakeholders of the Himalayan region, such as researchers, development workers, academicians.
