Himtradi

HimTradi is an initiative to purvey significant knowledge and platform regarding useful practices to the Himalayan communities in their local languages. Useful practices belongs to the field of agriculture, traditional knowledge of medicinal plants/ practices or assets, and other published information which could facilitate the ameliorations in the community needs and economical lifestyle. Aim of HimTradi is to purvey efficient knowledge and a platform to the local communities which could add value to their life. We are running this initiative with the support of volunteers from India who can spread the waves of knowledge by translating that into native/ vernacular language of their respective region along with the development of an interaction based platform for Himalayan communities, initially in Himachal Pradesh. HimTradi is inspired from SRISTI organization and Honey Bee Network. Therefore, HimTradi also use information provided in the SRISTI database, Honey Bee Network and other documentation based practices documented by local populace or associated knowledge provider. HimTradi also intends to increase its outreach through community interactions by providing a prospective platform about scientific/traditional knowledge with Web 2.0 based outreach services for addressing direct solutions for research, inter-community & intra-community driven business, and innovation research with the idea of an Outside-in & Inside-out approach. Volunteers from Himachal Pradesh are highly encouraged to take part in this initiative.
