ISUW 2024 Speaker

Narendra Nah Veluri
Narendra Nah Veluri
CEO, ANERT

As an Indian Forest Service officer, Narendra Nath Veluri has worked in forest divisions known for human-animal conflict. He brought human deaths to zero during his tenure at Palakkad through out-of-the-box methods adopted that reduced crop damage by elephants to half of that of 2017 damages. He engaged with PVTGs, sensitised them and did solar electrification of all houses. He has implemented Green Income Scheme for 1,000 BPL families by installing a 2kW solar power plant free of cost. A 300 km of solar fencing in Waynad, which was a non-starter for three years, was taken up by Veluri in mission mode and completed in a record time. The Kerala Forest Department has trained the community which owns the project. Under his leadership, all the 600 government buildings in Trivendrum will be solarised by 2023.
