Shrawan Kumar is an environmental policy strategist and programme architect with over 15 years of experience building the institutional scaffolding behind India's most ambitious sustainability initiatives. Grounded in a strong scientific foundation an M.Tech in Biochemical Engineering from the prestigious Harcourt Butler Technical University, Kanpur his true depth lies where science meets society: in Nature Based Solutions, Environmental Education for Sustainable Development, and the art of scaling programmes from grassroots conviction to national impact.
He has walked this path across some of India's most consequential institutions. As a Programme Officer at the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change, Government of India, he co authored landmark national resources including the Grey to Green self-assessment manuals and Nature Camping — A Guide Book, while co-architecting the digital infrastructure that unified thousands of school-based Ecoclub networks under a single, data-driven Management Information System — bringing measurable environmental accountability to classrooms across the country.
At Delhi based NGO, working under the mentorship of eminent scientist Dr. Ram Boojh former Programme Specialist, UNESCO and Ex. Secretary, Intergovernmental SACAM, Shrawan led with both ambition and precision. He orchestrated four consecutive editions of the International Conference on Sustainability Education, was instrumental in co-launching UNESCO India's seminal State of Education Report 2023, directed a high-scale multi-district population stabilisation community programme across high-TFR districts of Uttar Pradesh, and drove a transformative youth-led climate leadership model from Nagaland across six northeastern states. Across every endeavour, he demonstrated a rare and defining ability to hold strategic vision and ground-level execution in the same steady hand.
What sets Shrawan apart is not only what he knows, but how he sees. A poet by instinct and an explorer by calling, he has traversed India's low-lying wetlands, ancient forests, sun-worn coastlines, and mist-draped highland corridors not merely as a traveller, but as a witness. This intimate, unhurried relationship with the natural world sharpens his conviction that sustainability is not a compliance exercise, but a living, breathing commitment. When he builds programmes or brokers partnerships, the language carries the quiet authority of someone who has stood in the very landscapes he is working to protect.
