SHODH: The Institute for Research and Development, Nagpur

SHODH started working informally in the year 1994, and was formally established in 1997. A group of like-minded people founded SHODH to undertake studies on various aspects of environmental degradation and its socio-economic impacts on rural and tribal people. In addition to theoretical research, activities to promote all round development of rural and tribal areas, restoration of ecological balance, human resource development in tribal areas, emancipation of women, and child development have also been attempted. With these objectives in mind, SHODH has undertaken many activities, which include both action and research. An extension to its research endeavors was made in the year 2000 when SHODH became a Collaborative Research Center (CRC) of International Forestry and Resources Institutions (IFRI) research program, now housed in School of Natural Resource and Environment, University of Michigan.
