Prospectus
Being the
world’s highest mountain chain, the Himalaya is
characterized by a complex geo-morphological structure,
large valley glaciers, deep river gorges and rich
biological resources. The exploitation of the biological
resources in the Himalaya is far from sustainable. This
is due to poverty and lack of in-depth knowledge of
environmental management. There is a need to update
scientific understanding of conservation of biological
diversity and environmental management, and their
impacts on ecosystem and environmental service of the
Himalayas. However, there exists is no proper advance
degree course to address the above issues in an
interdisciplinary way. Thus, the Master’s Degree in
Science in Biodiversity and Environmental Management is
designed to ensure long-term sustainability of
biodiversity conservation and environment management by:
(a) linking the course contents with national, regional
and global priority and management perspectives, (b)
designing of Himalayan resource mobilization strategies
including sustainable use from livelihood options, and
(c) training of students in leadership and management
skills. Students who want to develop a professional
career leading to Ph. D. and aiming to improve and
manage the rapidly diminishing biological resources of
the Himalayas, will greatly benefit from the proposed
Master’s Degree program. Download Details
