INECC workshop helped me in conceptually understanding the climate discourse and its link with the education and gender work I was involved with. I have been able to build on the learnings and strengthen our engagement with women SHGs and young girls on energy and climate in Varanasi. I owe this to INECC.

I have had the opportunity to work with INECC on a couple of projects.  I have also had the opportunity to attend some of the meetings and workshops organised by INECC and also subscribed to their listserv.  In my opinion, INECC is an extremely vibrant network with members ranging from organisations working with the communities and on the ground to those working at the policy level.  In my view and experience, the network plays a very significant role in shaping policies, particularly related to clean energy and climate policy, at various levels of Indian bureaucratic hierarchy.

INECC is an ideal platform in the social sector which has given me the unique and rare opportunity to learn, collaborate, and work with different organizations across most parts of the country. It has helped me learn to take up a bottom up approach in the social ventures I am associated with, and with partnerships and the opportunities to attend different events, I have managed to learn a lot from different organizations working on similar issues but in different parts of India.
