Estd in 1992, the Center for Renewable Energy (CRE) is a non-governmental and non- profit making organisation (NGO) which brings together professionals and people who believe in the generation and optimum utilisation of renewable energy and appropriate technology. The Centre believes that harnessing renewable energy and utilising appropriate technology hold promise for achieving sustainable development and economic prosperity of the common people. Clean energy is the future of mankind and CRE is the forum setup to exchange the ideas, debate, research and analyse the possibilities of harnessing this clean energy. CRE studies, plans, designs and promotes efficient generation and utilisation of renewable energy and appropriate technology as well as innovative means for conserving energy. In doing so, the Centre encourages the use of existing resources (expertise and materials) and liaises with regional and international agencies/organisation to share information on available appropriate RETs and on the possibilities of adaptation and transfer to specific local conditions. The long term goal of CRE is to assist the nation to maximise the use of sustainable appropriate renewable energy technology and environmentally friendly energies such as solar PV, solar thermal, wind, pico-hydro, bio-mass, bio-gas etc.

Delhi Science Forum (DSF) was constituted in the year 1978 as a Public Interest Organisation registered under Societies. The primary aim of the forum was to work on the science and society interface including popularizing science and science & technology policies.

Science and technology policies have social, economic and political implications. Issues such as Nuclear WTO imposed trade policies, Intellectual Property Rights, power policies, telecom policies, disinvestments and many other issues are quite often mystified with so called scientific and technical expertise. Delhi Science Forum seeks to demystify science and technology policies in order to ensure people’s participation in science and technology policies. DSF intervene through campaigns, seminars, workshops, and publications and also through legal actions on that are harmful for the people. DSF also network with other organizations at national and international level that engaged in similar activities.

In to days world science & technology have become an integral part of our lives. With the advancement of science its is visible even more widely. We believe that science needs to be popularized in all sections including those who do not have the benefit of formal education. DSF uses various means of communication such as street plays, slide shows, exhibitions and workshops, etc., for this purpose.

Today, science and rationality is under attack from different sections. Delhi Science Forum believes that science and can play an important role in improving the quality of life and removing social and economic disparities. Delhi Science Forum also believes in opposing all forms of obscurantism and stands for promoting scientific temper in society.
