A young research centre led by a scientist with 100+ publications and five researchers from five disciplines — working on urban sustainability, coastal ecology, cognition, and pedagogy in Mangaluru and Mysuru.
Scientific Advisory Council. Director. Five researchers. Institutional leadership. Each profile includes research areas, current projects, and publications.
Mysuru tree census. AMARA. Urban ecology. Environmental monitoring. Cognition & pedagogy. The projects underway right now.
Partnership with MGP and SDMIMD. First comprehensive tree census of Mysuru using the "Mangalore Model" of digital auditing. Every tree geotagged with species ID, GPS, canopy classification, and health status.
From 6.24% green cover to 30% by 2040. 11,000+ trees of 145 species geotagged across 60 wards. 40,000 mangrove saplings at Adamkudru.
Each name links to their full profile with research areas, projects, and publications.
Learning is still about marks — not thinking, curiosity, or mastery. Children are growing up disconnected from nature and the climate crisis. Teachers aren't trained for today's world. Cities are hotter and losing green cover. Research happens in silos — not where change happens.
Alumni at IITs, IISc, CMI, ISI, Harvard, ETH Zurich, and UChicago. The Research Centre exists to study why this works — and make it replicable.
