About the Project
Nestled in the Eastern Himalayas, Sikkim is one of India's most ecologically significant states, with over 82 per cent of its geographical area designated as Recorded Forest Area (RFA).
As India continues its transition toward cleaner and more sustainable transportation systems, electric mobility has emerged as a critical pathway for reducing emissions, improving urban air quality, and enhancing the quality, reliability, and accessibility of public transport.
Biodiversity Assessment and Conservation Strategy: NTPC Kahalgaon, Bihar
The Biodiversity Assessment at the NTPC Kahalgaon Super Thermal Power Station in Bihar was undertaken to evaluate the ecological richness and habitat diversity within the project premises and its surrounding areas.
Central Coalfields Limited (CCL) sanctioned the scale-up project to TERI for the dissemination of Hybrid Solar PV Solutions to energize the stitching machines linked with motors by covering 150 women sewing entrepreneurs in the Chitarpur sewing cluster of Ramgarh district of Jharkhand.
TERI, in collaboration with Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, undertook a research project entitled “Abatement of Microplastics and Associated Pollution Using Biodegradation and Nanomaterials”, funded by the Department of Biotechnology. The project commenced on 31 January 2024 and was completed on 30 September 2025.
Comparative Emission Analysis
The deployment of Less-Smoke Chulhas demonstrates a significant reduction in the emissions of PM10, PM2.5, Black Carbon, CO, and CH4 compared to traditional cookstoves when burning equivalent types and volumes of biomass fuel.
The Musi River, the primary tributary of the Krishna River, originates in the Anantagiri Hills and flows into the Osmansagar and Himayatsagar reservoirs. Along its course, the river is joined by two rivulets, Esi (8 km) and Musa (13 km), which have historically served as vital water sources for Hyderabad for over a century.
The project's ultimate goal was to contribute to poverty alleviation in Dhari and Pati blocks of Nainitial and Champawat Districts, respectively, by creating opportunities for increased income generation through sustainable agricultural practices. The project was supported by Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited. Specific objectives included-
Farming sustainability for livelihood enhancement through affordable technologies for small land holdings farmers of hilly areas of Uttarakhand
The primary objective of the project is to develop an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) for the Ranjit Sagar Dam (RSD) and Shahpurkandi Dam (SPKD) in accordance with the latest guidelines issued by the Central Water Commission (CWC), New Delhi.
