Seeking Paryavaran Gurus..

[Chandra Kishore]

IEN Members,

Our membership is growing by the day and we are now a family of approx. 4500 top Indian Environment Professionals residing all over the world. We strictly limit our membership to those keenly interested in the field of environment and who can contribute to nurturing the Indian environment sector. 

To take the next step towards our objective of training young Indian environment professionals in survival skills in the environment sector and become our "torch-bearers" let me announce the opening of several voluntary positions of "Paryavaran Gurus" in our network. Any senior member who can donate their time to teach atleast one online course or host atleast "One online seminar" to train our members will be felicitated and identified as a "Paryavaran Guru" on our network and will be given maximum publicity through our network worldwide. 

If you are interested, please email us at [e-mail] with a training topic/ course/seminar/workshop with a rough outline that you can host online.  We will be happy to provide you with the platform to make it possible. Sharing just one skill that you are expert at is what it takes to sustain a vibrant community like ours and ensure that our mother earth is nourished by the sweat of the professionals through grassroots efforts. A trainer and a mentor is the "true son of the soil"!

Organizations who can sponsor and donate some of their existing training resources and time or funding for our members of "Indian Environment Network" to develop online training modules will be provided free "Institutional Membership" to our network with their own "networking group" withing our association. There is no better advertisement than getting "peer reviewed" by our members who now represent 2000+ organizations across the continents.

Web savvy Student/ Teacher Volunteers who would like to work with us this summer to develop online content and training materials for environment professionals are also more than welcome to join us and gain valuable skills and appreciation for their work this summer.

Awaiting your response at [e-mail]

I shall be happy to join this movement for the cause of Environment and share the knowledge and skills for the young environmentalists.

[S.P.ANANDAN]

Dear Chandra Kishore

I appreciate the initiative taken by you to create Paryavaran Gurus in our country.  It is badly needed since our youths need stewardship as they are guided by environmentally destructive practices today. Since you are aware of my involvement in protecting mountain environment and biodiversity, I can share the knowledge gained by me on the following topics:

(a) Mountain Biodiversity and Ecosystem

(b) Indigenous Traditional Knowledge

(c) Low Carbon Farming technology

(d) Environmental sustainability

(e) Conserving endangered flora and fauna

(f) Domain Names Registration and related digital knowledge and ICANN (Since I am a Fellow in the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers)

Thank you

S.P.Anandan

Dear Sir

What are the qualities and attributes of a "Guru". In individual capacity would be great to join as a volunteer especially for undergraduates and post graduates students on energy efficiency, environment in chemical industry
