Who we work with

HITA is an independent trust. We work with government, civil society, researchers and the private sector, and we are not owned or directed by any of them.

Government & public institutions

We work with the Government of Himachal Pradesh, the Manmohan Singh Himachal Institute for Public Administration (HIPA), and Palampur Municipal Corporation, inside processes those institutions own.

Civil society & communities

Local organisations helped write our working documents. Three partner NGOs are building the Palampur waste model on the ground.

Experts & knowledge partners

Independent experts join our analytical work, like the five who wrote the Union Budget analysis with us.

International organisations

Practical Action works with us as an international partner.

Academia

The Centre for All Interacting Evolving Systems Science at XIM University, Bhubaneswar, is our first academic partner.

Private sector & philanthropy

Businesses and investors took part in the SAMRIDH consultations, and they matter for making models like the waste system pay for themselves.
