Campaign Walk (Padyatra)

Padyatra has been an important method used by HSS to sensitize and motivate communities on various issues related to conservation and protection of Natural Resources. During a Padyatra volunteers move from one village to another village while singing songs/slogans, organizing village meetings and performing street theatre. One such padyatra will be organize in the month of Dec, 2007 along the river Kosi in Almora and Nainital districts of Uttarakhand Himalayas, to motivate local communities residing in the Kosi valley for saving river Kosi from drying up. During these Padyatras volunteers stay with the visiting village communities and seek for their involvement and participation.
