About Eco-Watch :
Eco-Watch was founded by Suresh Heblikar, a noted environmentalist in Karnataka today, in the early nineties and was registered as a ‘Non-Profit Public Charitable Trust’ in October-1998 even as its activities were underway at various levels, addressing key environmental issues and concerns in Bangalore and other parts of the state. The organization came into existence by a group of like-minded people from varied backgrounds such as research-scientists, socio-economists, ecologists, environmentalists and others who continue to be a major part of the organization even today.
Organization Structure :
Eco-Watch is headed by the Chairman who is the chief administrator and decision-maker of the organization. He is supported by the Vice-Chairman, who is the associate decision-maker and also governs the working of the centre from time to time. These two heads of the organization are further strengthened by the Board of Trustees and the Research Committee, which consists of key professionals from specific backgrounds who support the working team to analyze and understand the issues and problems; develop, design and build specific projects; and finally assist in implementing and executing these projects.
