Centre for Population, Environment and Health (CPEH)
 

In view of the global emphasis on the critical linkages between population growth, environmental degradation and increased exposure to health risks, the Institute has set up the Centre for Population, Environment and Health (CPEH) to undertake research in this area. Research work undertaken at the Centre are primarily related to the country's demand for a better understanding of the population - environment - health nexus which could assist policy makers and planners in the integration of these factors. The Centre will make recommendations for policy and action by governments and semi-governmental/non - governmental organisations, and also raise the awareness of these inter-linkages among the masses. The CPEH is particularly interested in grassroot level studies with the help of local resources and organisation. The CPEH has plans to collaborate with concerned organisations and institutions, both nationally and internationally in its research and other activities.
