BACKGROUND
Looking at the increasing need of quality learning resources like qualified faculty and research based study material especially in the field of technical and vocational education, a group of highly qualified academicians thought of making an organized effort in this direction. Out of the deliberations made by them a Trust was formed in the name of Himalayan Management and Development Resource Institute (HiMADRI) in the year 2007.
HiMADRI is a well contemplated effort for developing knowledge resources primarily for Technical Education, Continuing & Adult Education in the form of short term modules or capsule courses; some of them also leading to certification and diploma courses. This academic endeavour envisages imparting education to school and college students on various academic/non-academic subjects together with sensitization and awareness programmes on emerging social issues. Another work dimension includes conducting training and awareness programmes for specific groups of people coming from large population of working class including teachers, industry executives, managers and other professionals to become better in terms of knowledge, attitude and other traits of effective personality.
Apart from this, HiMADRI also aims to expand the span of its activities in the field of social welfare providing free education, health awareness camps, AIDS awareness camps, environmental consciousness programmes, tree plantation programmes and many more.
Some of the esteemed clients and organisations where HiMADRI resource persons have conducted programmes and delivered their lectures are Uttarakhand Jal Vidyut Nigam Limited, Tehri Hydro Development Corporation India Limited, Operant Infotech Pvt.
