The Winter School 2022 has begun, bringing together around 25 research students from IIT Bombay and the Technical University of Munich, Germany, to study the recurring flooding challenges in Kuttanad.
Over the course of four days, the study team will visit flood-affected regions of Kuttanad and engage in dialogues with farmers, local representatives, and community members to understand the lived realities of flood management.
The program is led by Prof. N.C. Narayanan (IIT Bombay) and Prof Miranda Schreurs
(Technical University of Munich), combining academic insights with community-based perspectives.
This initiative creates a living classroom in Kuttanad, fostering cross-cultural knowledge exchange and nurturing innovative approaches for climate resilience in flood-prone regions.
