About [Edit]
Welcome! Environmental Graduates in Himalaya (EGH) is forum for all environmental science graduates. EGH stands to share the vision of today’s youth in protecting environment, seek experiential learning through job opportunities to build skills and enhance knowledge-based human resources. Therefore, we request INGOs/NGOs to take advantage of our workforce who are young, hardworking and knowledgeable. Also, EGH provides short-term trainings and basic field courses in GIS, ornithology, socio-economic studies, ecological surveys and data analysis. The objective of the EGH are to:
• Enhance the capacity of the youth in environmental studies;
• Provide opportunities for graduates as knowledge-based human resource to INGOs/NGOs;
• Increase awareness on environmental issues through dialogues and seminars with experts; and
• Assist upcoming under graduates and graduate students in their field studies.
