TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR CONTRACTUAL ASSIGNMENT

This document outlines the Terms of Reference for the installation of Passive Solar Greenhouses under Project P1202, implemented by the PHIA Foundation in the Nubra region of Ladakh. The primary objective of this initiative is to promote climate-resilient agriculture by enabling year-round cultivation in harsh cold desert conditions.

The installation of passive solar greenhouses aims to extend the growing season, enhance householdlevel food security, and improve the nutritional intake of rural communities. By creating a controlled microclimate, these structures will support the cultivation of vegetables during extreme winters, thereby reducing dependency on external food supplies.

Additionally, the project seeks to strengthen sustainable livelihood opportunities by enabling farmers to generate income through off-season vegetable production. The initiative will also contribute to efficient utilization of solar energy, conservation of natural resources, and promotion of environmentally sustainable farming practices in Nubra.

Furthermore, the project emphasizes community participation and capacity building, ensuring that beneficiaries are equipped with the knowledge and skills required for the operation, maintenance, and long-term sustainability of the greenhouses.
