About HIAL :

Himalayan Institute of Alternatives, Ladakh (HIAL) is an upcoming Alternative Institute for Mountain Development which follows Contextual Learning and Experiential Pedagogy where students learn by doing and earn while they learn. It aims to develop Ladakh into a benchmark of sustainable living for the mountain world, where all children receive a meaningful education that prepares them for a life of dignity in harmony with nature. It believes in collaborative exercise between learners and facilitators. Instead of solving problems with the conventional 3Rs (Reading, writing, and arithmetic), the learners are encouraged to solve problems using the 3Hs: Bright Head, Kind Heart, and Skilled Hands. The institute is promoted by the renowned leaders in entrepreneurial education in India and attracts talent and grants from leading corporates and Government bodies in India.

About SENSe:

- School of Energy Studies (SENSe) is one of the Schools of HIAL and aims to develop Ladakh as a Carbon-neutral community through contextual innovative energy research and solutions that would serve as a Sustainable Model for the mountain world. We are considered world leaders in passive solar heating of buildings and have taken projects in different aspects of energy which would better the lives of Ladakhis in this fragile ecology. Our work on passive solar heating of buildings has won a national award from the Govt of India. We have collaborations with FHNW Switzerland, SDC India, Ministry of Tribal Affairs, GoI and IOCL. While the world is working on net-zero, we have already demonstrated energy positive buildings. We are already in the process of exporting our technology to the international community. We are now looking to expand our solutions- outreach and thus, are looking for relevant people to form a core team - a small group of thoughtful committed people, motivated to make the world a better place- that will work towards increasing the impact of the school and HIAL on the mountain communities.
