Delhi University will soon have a Himalayan Museum
The museum is the result of an understanding reached by the Delhi University and the University of Ladakh through an MoU they signed recently

The Delhi University will soon have a Himalayan Museum on its campus, acting Vice-Chancellor Professor PC Joshi said, adding that the varsity is concerned about the future of the mountain range. "The university has established a Center for Himalayan Studies to research all aspects of the Himalayas on top-most priority," Joshi said while addressing a webinar titled Himalayan Future: Beyond 2050 on Tuesday.

Danger from climate change is always lurking around: Wangchuk

Engineer and Innovator Sonam Wangchuk from Ladakh warned that in the coming years, the big danger will not come from any foreign army, but from climate change that is always lurking around. "The impact of climate change in the next 20-30 years may result in lake-bursts and that can only be avoided with human intervention," he added.

Himalayan center will work in collaboration with various organizations: Sahoo

Wangchuk further said that proper research and development needs to be dedicated to this issue. Dinabandhu Sahoo, the founder-director of the Himalayan studies center, and a former director of the Institute of Bio-resources and Sustainable Development (IBSD) said, "The Himalayan center will work in collaboration with various national and international organizations as well as with people at the grassroots level in different Himalayan states."

Meanwhile, renowned environmentalist Anil Prakash Joshi said, "This is the time for collective actions to save the Himalayas and the Himalayan people." He argued that the narratives must shift from "economic activity to environment activity."

Further details
Delhi University, University of Ladakh had signed MoU regarding museum

"Local communities are the saviors of the Himalayas, but they have of late become the sufferers as well. Not only there is economic disparity, but ecological disparity too," the Padmashri and Padma Bhushan recipient said. The museum is the result of an understanding reached by the Delhi University and the University of Ladakh through an MoU they signed recently.
