Rolex Award kickstarts the Himalayan Institute of Alternatives

Thank you all, the dream you helped fund two years ago has come a long way. Your support helped us drain a dangerous glacial lake in sikkim, it helped implement an Indian technology in Switzerland and it helped us win the ROLEX Awards! The last milestone in the promise we made to you is finally coming close to realisation. The publicity and money that Rolex Awards brings us will be used to create the first alternative mountain university in the world! Here about it from The Wire.
