Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (MDoNER), Government of India, has sponsored a study titled ‘Study of Studies’ to The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), New Delhi to analyse the impact of these studies in NER development. The study is aimed at listing out and compiling various studies conducted from January 2010 to June 2020 in different sectors in the context of the NER, and analyse and compile recommendations of such studies, which would be useful for MDoNER in policy and decision-making purposes and for the benefit of the scientific community and the society.
The consultancy contract on the Project “Development of a Hydropower Forecasting System Framework and Implementation of a Pilot Project for Hydropower Optimization in Bhutan” between USAID-SAREP and TERI to support the Druk Green Power Corporation (DGPC) Limted, Bhutan was started in January, 2024.
The objective of the project is to accelerate transition of Indian industry sector to a low carbon pathway by an integrated approach which focuses on decarbonizing the energy intensive industries (steel, cement) including associated value chains

The study aims to develop an SDG Blueprint to inform integrated approaches on sustainable agriculture at the national level in India. It is crucial that the lenses of sustainable development, climate action, value chains and multi-stakeholder approaches be considered for sustainable agriculture to contribute towards food security, livelihoods, and ecosystem integrity. The SDG Blueprint which focuses on the national policy interface between SDGs and sustainable agriculture to inform policy and praxis.
With no singular pathway to fulfilling Paris Agreement and reaching globally agreed climate targets, the action intends to reinforce global climate change mitigation effort by supporting developing countries. This action builds on past and existing international cooperation and will seek to engage the most influential Asian/EU experts on models and modelling tools to increase domestic capacities on low-emission development scenarios modelling. As part of the study, socio-economic impact assessment (of decarbonization policies) is also proposed.
