Chamba

Vijay Sharma from Himachal Pradesh’s Chamba bagged a Padmashri in 2012 for preserving pahari miniatures

Individual farmers, farmers' collectives and NRIs in Himachal Pradesh are taking to organic farming in a big way for good health, safe soil and groundwater for future generations.

A state with some of the remotest polling booths in the country, Himachal Pradesh has a number of Newtons who put duty before comfort and safety.

Deriving from Pahari paintings, the Chamba Rumal combines Himalayan miniature art with impeccable embroidery in a tradition that dates back to medieval India.
