Motto: Striving for the planet in peril Vision : To create awareness, carry out research, disseminate knowledge and capacity building as a team to promote environmental friendly and sustainable policies and channelize the outcomes through this online thought leadership platform.

1. The passionate and innovative network for Environment…..!!
Our Beginning
The “Eco Endeavourers Network” (EEN) was started in June 2009 as an awareness and
research network with the aim to foster environmental issues at the forefront and to
sensitize school children, college students about it. It also aimed to involve researchers,
scientists and faculty in the domain of Environmental Science to contribute through
though leadership concepts, research and development in the subject matter of –
Sustainability, Climate Change, Environmental Impact Assessment, Environmental
Education & Training, Greenhouse gases quantification, Remote Sensing & GIS
applications, Environmental Management, Clean Development Mechanism, Corporate
Sustainability Reporting, Ecosystem & Forestry Services—Research & Development,
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), PIL and RTI, Urban Greening, Urban Forestry
and Biodiversity.
Even before the inception of this network into being, tree plantation programme was
carried out in my apartment at Tarnaka, Secunderabad, Telangana as a part of the
network activity in 2008 on World Environment Day on 5th June, though to be honest
could pool out only a small group for the initiative and an article too did feature in
Times of India campaign of Urban Green Efforts Campaign i.e.; “Green – Again” and
“Greenabad” campaign. In 2009 in connection with “National Pollution Control Day” on
2nd December, initiative called “Walk for Hussainsagar” was conducted in association
with NGC as an awareness drive programme with children participating from schools
adjoining Hussainasagar/Tank bund area.
As a part of EEN initiative “Idea Pool” and “Knowledge Sharing” was introduced
wherein, in a week for 3 days, concept papers, research papers and article, other related
key notes were emailed through - ecoendeavourers@gmail.com
Since 2010, not much substantial action and result oriented work has been done,
however occasionally awareness drives were conducted through email quotes, blogs
and articles were authored and published. Now I wish to restart my initiative with a
newer perspective and additional themes section added as the key focus around which
the thought leadership online platform will be based.

2. In wake of the United Nations Sustainable Developmental Goals (SDGs) 2030 agenda,
the key constraint is time. Time looks to be the basic essence of achieving the 2030
agenda and what looks critical is how strategic and focussed actions and efforts will be
required by Nations across the globe to improve the lives, reduce inequality and work
towards the goal of “Common Future for All”. If one goes by the recent report of United
Nations, data availability and quality data is the need of the hour to show the progress
and extent of implementation that is being done. The report also focussed on how
National statistical plans are needed to develop and strengthen implementation and
monitoring. Mostly Europe and North America were leading in these efforts towards
enhancing statistical capacity, which in turn would help disseminate information and
build strategies for an efficient funding to proceed towards achieving SDGs which
developing countries should also need to focus in.
I have mentioned above about the subject matter and thought leadership across varied
disciplines, to put forth 17 goals of SDGs – no poverty, no hunger, good health and well
being, quality education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, affordable and
clean energy, decent work and economic growth, industry, infrastructure, reduced in
equalities, sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and
production, climate action, life below water, life on land, peace, justice and strong
institutions and partnerships for goals - if we focus on implementing these, which
corporate entities and other business houses already have started adopting and
progressing it as the integral part of work environment, nations across the globe would
be in a indirect way contribute towards resolving multi dimensions of environmental
upheavals.
The challenge with developing countries lies in mobilization of action plan and a
innovative, smart yet sustainable action plan that will provide tangible solutions
towards effective path of achieving SDGs. Keeping in mind the greater perspective of
SDGs, EEN would be keen to learn, upgrade, and develop skill sets by writing concept
notes, research papers and articles and the progress so as to disseminate the knowledge
base across varied stakeholders and citizens at large.
To place in nutshell EEN will strive to work towards “Environmental Stewardship”
across varied sectors, organizations, educational institutions and housing societies with
the perspective of awareness, learning and forming a passionate and innovative
network base to resolve day to day problems in a simple yet innovative way and be a
forum for “citizen participation”.

thing all us of share”

Vision
To create awareness, carry out research, disseminate knowledge and capacity building
as a team to promote environmental friendly and sustainable policies and channelize
the outcomes through this thought leadership platform.

3. Action Plan
The primer and action plan of the network has a long term goal of reaching out to the
citizens who are the stakeholders at large and create value based service platform in
environmental domain through –
 Smaller goals, beginning with simple neighbourhood activities and modest aims
with a action plan towards long term goal of reaching multi-facets sectors,
organizations and educational institutions
 Gain credibility by showing results
 To engage with varied sectors, industry base, corporate sector, schools, colleges
via conducting seminars /workshops/awareness events/online
updates/reviews/Newsletter/R&D/Projects
 Drafting of framework and carry out research and development with focus areas
and themes as mentioned in the themes section.
 To facilitate a online networking base among those who aspire and are
passionate and willing to share their concern with regard to environmental
problems, help in promoting protection, conservation, restoration of
environment through sound policy initiatives, suggestions and innovation.
 Reaffirm and strengthen our knowledge base and respect towards laws of
nature.
