Study in India

India has a unique ecology and its inhabitants share an intricate relationship with nature that has spanned centuries. The Study in India programme at ATREE offers international students opportunities to conduct research. The Academy has a strong presence in the field through its five Community-based Conservation Centres  (CCCs). These Centres, located across the country, champion community interactions that advance reciprocal learning and environmental governance in the local landscapes. The programme allows students to engage with these communities. The programme also facilitates access to our project sites spread across different  landscapes and biodiversity hotspots in India.
