Activities
Narain began working with the Centre for Science and Environment in 1982, working with the
founder Anil Agarwal, while completing her studies at the University of Delhi. In 1985 she co-edited
the State of India's Environment report, and then went on to study issues related to forest management.
For this project she traveled across the country to understand people's management of natural
resources. In 1989 Narain and Anil Agarwal wrote 'Towards Green Villages' on the subject of local
democracy and sustainable development. In her years at the Centre, she has studied the relationship
between environment and development and worked to create public consciousness about the need
for sustainable development. In 2012, she wrote the 7th State of India’s Environment Reports, Excreta
Matters, an analysis of urban India’s water supply and pollution.
Over the years, Narain has also developed the management and financial support systems needed for
the Centre, which has over 100 staff members and a dynamic program profile. In the early 1990s she
got involved with global environmental issues and she continues to work on these as researcher and
advocate. Her research interests are wide-ranging - from global democracy, with a special focus
on climate change, to the need for local democracy, within which she has worked both on forest-
related resource management and water-related issues. Narain remains an active participant, both
nationally and internationally, in civil society. She is currently in charge of the Centre's management
and plays an active role in a number of research projects and public campaigns.
She serves on the boards of various organisations and on governmental committees and has spoken at
many forums across the world on issues of her concern and expertise. In 2008 Narain delivered the K
