Kshama V. Bhat

Project Assistant, Western Ghats

BE

With a Bachelor's degree in engineering, I worked in the software industry for around 15 years before hanging up my spurs to explore life and other interesting things like ancient wisdom and forest restoration. I did my PG Diploma in Science and Management of Sustainable Living from Bhoomi College in 2016 and have been trying ever since to hit that elusive balance of an ecologically sustainable lifestyle. In between getting worked up about climate change and depleting green cover, I enjoy hiking up the mountains, reading and tracing the source of a train of thoughts. With NCF, I work in the ecological restoration program in the Anamalai Hills In the Western Ghats.
