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.
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.
Local organisations helped write our working documents. Three partner NGOs are building the Palampur waste model on the ground.
Independent experts join our analytical work, like the five who wrote the Union Budget analysis with us.
Practical Action works with us as an international partner.
The Centre for All Interacting Evolving Systems Science at XIM University, Bhubaneswar, is our first academic partner.
Businesses and investors took part in the SAMRIDH consultations, and they matter for making models like the waste system pay for themselves.
