Hi! I hate to spring this on you. Alas! Like everyone else, we are also looking for people. Unlike some of the others, we not just want good people but want them to come and live in the mountains - 50 km from the district headquarters. Worse, we offer salaries that can't be used to pay EMI's on the flat or the new car! But.. there are forests. Six months in the year, Nanda Devi smiles upon us. There is also the possibility of seeing a leopard or a yellow-throated marten or a fox. Usually, our expectations are relatively  realistic. Got boring. We are looking for at least three senior people. Two of the senior people we are looking for have to be women. Senior people - at least 5-8 years of experience.  Areas of interest could be one of the following - agriculture, education, preventive health, research and documentation. Who would you recommend? Can you pass this to anyone who fits the bill or might be interested? Am enclosing a one page advert that you could post on your noticeboard or better share on the e-groups that you are on.  Many thanks. madhavan
