Chandigarh – Morni Hills: JNV – Man-Nature PM LiFE Regional Training HQ & Twin Township
A Himalayan-edge training ecosystem focused on mountain ecology and climate resilience.
The Vision
"The Morni Hills, located at the Himalayan foothills near Chandigarh, represent one of North India’s most sensitive and strategic ecological zones. With forests, hill terrain, and water catchments, this region is ideally suited for a mountain-based LiFE Training Headquarters focused on climate resilience and eco-tourism."
Key Training Focus Areas:
Hill-based wellness and health retreats
Sustainable tourism and hospitality models
Mountain ecology protection and water management systems
Reforestation Goal
35k+
Indigenous tree species planned for local ecosystem restoration.
Project Footprint
290 Acres
Total area dedicated to high-impact sustainability training.
Strategic Implementation
Training within this landscape instils direct understanding of fragile ecosystems, disaster preparedness, and low-impact development. This centre will serve as a strategic training ground for administrators, planners, and hospitality professionals, ensuring development remains aligned with environmental limits and traditional wisdom. Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya’s structured education system enables early exposure to hill ecology, supporting the PM LiFE vision and Viksit Bharat @2047 climate priorities.
Strategic Alignment
Reference Model
Acting as a national demonstration of how heritage ecology, governance, and employment can coexist harmoniously in arid landscapes.
