Tiivistelmä
The co-research project on 'Livelihood security in a changing socio-economic
environment in Himachal Pradesh, India' gathered together around 30-35
researchers during 2009, and 2011-2015 from the University of Delhi, the
University of Shimla, the Government Post-Graduate College, Chamba and the
University of Turku. Our co-project was funded by the Academy of Finland.
Among international articles and graduates (two Doctoral, three Licenciate thesis
and five Master thesis) we presented the main findings in the project book
involved 23 researchers (Singh, R.B. & Hietala, R. eds, 2014. Springer). Our
results addressed the special reference to agricultural diversification, improving
the land productivity, and to the wider scrutinizing of knowledge sharing, and
community participation in the local carbon forestry initiatives. Also, the nonfarm
and tourism sector were to be tapped to ensure healthy ways of living, and
the Indian NGOs were acknowledged in health and social sector. After this coproject,
two Finnish doctoral studies are continuing concentrating on livelihood
issues of migrating human groups which is a current phenomenon at the global
level.
