TERI

www.teriin.org

The Energy and Resources Institute, a dynamic and flexible organization with a global vision and a local focus, was established in 1974.

While in the initial period, the focus was mainly on documentation and information dissemination, research activities in the fields of energy, environment, and sustainable development were initiated in 1982. The genesis of these activities lay in TERI’s firm belief that efficient utilisation of energy, sustainable use of natural resources, large-scale adoption of renewable energy technologies, and reduction of all forms of waste would move the process of development towards the goal of sustainability.

TERI is deeply committed to every aspect of sustainable development—from providing environment-friendly solutions to rural energy problems to helping shape the development of the Indian oil and gas sector; from tackling global climate change issues across many continents to enhancing forest conservation efforts among local communities; from finding solutions to growing urban transport and air pollution problems to promoting energy efficiency in the Indian industry. The emphasis has always been on finding innovative solutions to make the world a better place to live in. However, while TERI’s vision is global, its roots are firmly entrenched in Indian soil. All activities in TERI revolve around formulating local- and national-level strategies and suggesting global solutions to critical energy- and environment-related issues. It is with this purpose that TERI has established regional centres in Bangalore (Karnataka), Panaji (Goa), Guwahati (Assam), and Supi (Uttarakhand); an office in Mumbai; and a presence in Japan, Malaysia, the UAE, Belgium and Africa. It has also set up affiliate institutes—TERI North America in Washington, DC, USA, and TERI Europe in London, UK.

TERI hosts the annual Delhi Sustainable Development Summit, which is swiftly gathering momentum as a major forum for the convergence of world renowned leaders and thinkers dealing with the issue of sustainability.

With a staff strength of over 700, drawn from multidisciplinary and highly specialized fields, with offices and regional centres equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, and with a diverse range of activities, TERI is the largest developing country institution working to move human society towards a sustainable future. TERI makes effective use of the latest developments in modern information technology in both its in-house and outreach activities. It also publishes a large number of books, including children’s books, reports, magazines and newsletters.

TERI lays great emphasis on training, capacity building, and education. In 1999, it set up TERI University (under the UGC Act). Since its inception, it has evolved as a research university, offering doctoral and masters programmes in bioresources, biotechnology, energy, environment, regulatory and policy studies, and natural resources management.

With over 25 years of excellence in research and innovation, TERI is now poised for further growth, driven by a global vision and outreach, with a philosophy that assigns primacy to enterprise in government, industry and individual actions.
