Defence Institute of High Altitude Research (DIHAR)

“As a drought-resistant, frost tolerant, low nutrient requirement, high protein and low carbohydrate crop, it is well suited for our people.”

DRDO has inaugurated the world's highest terrestrial R&D centre at 17,600 feet above mean sea level in Chang La. The centre will not just help in research and development in several areas, but will also help other labs in testing different products at high altitude.
