About the Organization

Green Hub started as a collaborative initiative of North East Network (NEN) and Dusty Foot Productions (DFP). The office was first set up in December 2014 in Tezpur, in the premises of ‘Jonak’, a home built by H.N Agarwala and Padma Agarwala. In earlier times the main hall was often used for film screenings for the family and neighbouring friends. To begin here was in some way destined, and is a blessing. The Green Hub project continues in the northeast as a partnership between NEN and Dusty Foot Foundation (DFF). Green Hub models are in the process of being set up in collaboration with other partner organisations in key geographical areas of India, starting October 2020.

Idea: To engage and empower youth in conservation education, action, climate sustainability and social change through the visual medium; and create a digital resource bank for wildlife, environment and indigenous knowledge. Through this process - initiate sustainable, alternate and aspirational livelihoods for individuals and the community that help build local economy and enterprise, with conservation of natural resources and community wellbeing at the core of it.
