About Us

Uttarakhand Seva Nidhi Paryavaran Shiksha Sansthan (USNPSS)

  • The Uttarakhand Seva Nidhi is a public charitable trust founded in 1967. Since 1987, we have been working with village communities in Uttarakhand to undertake environmental education programmes in schools and villages in the mountain districts.
    Uttarakhand, located in the Central Himalayas of northern India, is a fragile ecological zone where human activities can cause extensive land degradation and significant societal impacts. With the advent of education and globalisation, the lives of people here are transforming rapidly.

  • Over time, our activities increased and diversified, leading to the creation of the Uttarakhand Seva Nidhi Paryavaran Shiksha Sansthan (USNPSS), a registered non-profit society. In English, the name means the Uttarakhand Environmental Education Centre (UEEC).
