Chirag works closely with communities in nearly 250 villages in Nainital, Bageshwar, Pithoragarh and Almora districts in Uttarakhand, India. Chirag deals primarily with issues relating to forestry, soil and water conservation, agriculture, animal husbandry, health care, education, and skill and knowledge development of young people.

Chirag began its work by responding to what were the primary needs of the area and continues to strive to meet the region’s requirements. With over twenty three years of experience, Chirag also trains other organisations in the region and further afield.
