Itanagar: The Center for Earth Sciences and Himalayan Studies (CESHS) of Arunachal Pradesh has signed an MoU with the Geological Survey of India (GSI) to focus on geothermal energy exploration.
This is part of a broader focus on earth science studies across Arunachal Pradesh and the surrounding region. The aim is to harness clean energy and advance geoscientific research in the Northeast.
As per GSI Director Asit Saha, this arrangement would significantly contribute to shaping the geological, mineralogical and hydrological understanding of the Arunachal Himalayan belt.
This could seriously explore the untapped potential of the Arunachal Himalayas as a geothermal energy hub.
It could also provide a foundation for clean energy solutions and enhance understanding of the region’s complex geology.
“This collaboration is not just about science. It is about national progress. We hope to combine indigenous knowledge with modern techniques to unlock sustainable energy sources hidden beneath our soil,” asserts Tana Tage, Director, CESHS.
