As a result, individuals living in various Himalayan regions are experiencing difficulties, according to the statement. “Vice Chancellor P C Joshi of the University of Delhi issued a rallying cry to people throughout the country to band together to rescue the Himalayas. Joshi stated, “The University of Delhi is concerned and serious about the Himalayan concerns,” according to a DU release.

“We need to conserve and maintain the Himalayan bio-resources as well as the region’s distinctive culture,” said Dinabandhu Sahoo, founder director of the University of Delhi’s Centre for Himalayan Studies. The Himalayan Centre will collaborate with a variety of national and international organisations, as well as people on the ground in several Himalayan states.” An environmentalist named Anil Prakash Joshi spoke about the Himalayan problem in a webinar titled “Himalayan Future: Beyond 2050” to a group of individuals from all around the country.
Sonam Wangchuk, a Ladakh engineer and pioneer of artificial glaciers, concurred with Anil Joshi, saying that, more than any other army or country, we would have to defend against climate change in the future years. Joshi and Wangchuk praised the university’s efforts to establish a Himalayan studies centre and offered any assistance they could.
