The International Institute of Bengal and Himalayan Basins (IIBHB) is a nonprofit organization, registered in the US and India. It works on water, environmental and ecological issues in Bengal Basin. IIBHB also supports educational, health, housing and human rights in Bengal Basin as well as in other areas where its services are needed. IIBB hopes to use its Bengal Basin experience as a working model for emerging economies. Founded by Dr. Rash B. Ghosh, a Bengali-American scientist, the Institute has attracted a wide range of experts who are ready to assist IIBHB in finding solutions to the various problems that exist throughout the Bengal Basin. Dignitaries associated with the Institute have included Nobel Laureates Linus Pauling and Glenn Seaborg. The Institute is currently receiving advice from Nobel Laureate Charles H. Townes, a prominent spokesman for Bengal Basin issues. The IIBHB is headquartered in Berkeley, California, with chapters in England, Bangladesh and India.
The International Institute of Bengal and Himalayan Basins offers pro bono environmental consulting services to industries, landowners, and citizens both in the US and abroad including the Indo-Bangla Subcontinent. Two-hour sessions are available with additional hours for community organizations such as nonprofit organizations and political institutions. Confidentiality is assured. Expert advice is available from some of the best institutions in the United States, Europe, and Indo-Bangla Subcontinent.
