Our dedicated team of qualified professionals is committed to bringing economic prosperity to local communities while preserving the environment through the application of scientific innovations and technology transfer. 🤝 Our Approach: At HRG, we believe that active community participation is the cornerstone of our success. Over the past eight years, we have initiated a range of grassroots-level projects, from technology-driven community empowerment to the conservation of biological diversity. Our Impact: Our professional and motivated team has played a pivotal role in introducing innovative technology models in rural Himachal Pradesh. We've spearheaded initiatives like button mushroom cultivation, medicinal and aromatic plants cultivation, vermicomposting, low-cost polyhouse fabrication, floriculture, fodder, feed development, and rural entrepreneurship activities. R&D at the Heart: What sets HRG apart is our commitment to technology refinement and commercialization within the non-governmental organization sphere. We take pride in being the only NGO with well-established research and development facilities, supported by an extensive technology extension network at the community level. Our headquarters in Shimla boasts a well-equipped research lab and office. Community Engagement: Our field activities are conducted through our regional center in the picturesque village of Dhangiara, District Mandi, Himachal Pradesh. This proximity to the communities we serve allows us to have a profound impact on their development.
