RISHEE is an integrated institute for education, training, policy & planning, and research & development — operating across four critical domains of community resilience: Safety, Health, Environment, and Empowerment.
Disaster resilience, public health, ecological restoration, and livelihood empowerment are not separate disciplines — they are facets of the same challenge. Yet academic institutions and policy bodies typically address them in silos.
RISHEE integrates them into a single institutional architecture — delivering education, professional training, policy advisory, and applied research across all four domains simultaneously. Each domain is managed by a dedicated sansthan with its own faculty, programmes, and institutional partnerships.
Established under EduCARE India (est. 1994) and drawing on three decades of field experience across India's most hazard-prone regions, RISHEE operates as HimRISHEE at the state level and RISHEE Kangra at the district level.
Every RISHEE programme sits at the intersection of a core function and a SHEE domain — ensuring that field action is grounded in knowledge, and knowledge is tested in the field.
Diploma, vocational, and degree programmes delivered through university partnerships — including B.Voc via WISE model, NirmanNAYAK construction diplomas, and CIEEL international experiential learning curricula.
NSQF-aligned skill certification, community responder training, ToT programmes, mason seismic-safety training, drone and GIS operations, HAM radio licensing, occupational safety under WorkSafe SHEER.
Village and institutional disaster management plans, DRR readiness assessments, biodiversity registers, panchayat-level health and resilience planning, government engagement through the AapdaSETU framework.
Building vulnerability surveys, drone-based structural assessments, GIS hazard mapping, ecological corridor studies, community health baselines, and the annual AapdaDRISHTI readiness reports.
Disaster risk reduction, emergency preparedness, seismic-safe construction, hazard-specific response systems, and community-based first response — delivered through all four institutional functions from classroom to field.
Community health with a seniors-first focus — elder care, de-addiction and mental health services, allied health education, rural health outreach, and panchayat-level health infrastructure development.
Ecological restoration, biodiversity conservation, climate-adaptive land stewardship, green infrastructure development, watershed management, and native species propagation — grounded in applied environmental research.
Skills development, vocational education, experiential learning, community-level entrepreneurship, and intrapreneurial delivery models — building self-sufficient livelihoods aligned with safety, health, and environmental needs.
Every RISHEE activity sits at the intersection of one institutional function and one SHEE domain — creating an integrated operating matrix from classroom to field.
RISHEE adapts its institutional programmes to each corridor's distinct hazard, health, ecological, and livelihood profile — while maintaining a consistent academic and operational methodology across regions.
Each domain operates within established national standards, certification frameworks, and regulatory structures — ensuring credibility from field to ministry level.
