Center for Human Rights, Environment & Migration Research (CHREMIR)
CHREMIR is a multidisciplinary research center dedicated to advancing research on human rights, environment and migration.
A South Asian hub for research, policy and impact
CHREMIR conducts multidisciplinary research and translates it into evidence-based policy. We collaborate with academic institutions, NGOs and UN bodies to protect displaced, environmentally-affected and labour-migrant populations — and to nurture the next generation of researchers.
Our Mission
To produce rigorous, independent research and evidence-based policy on human rights, environment and migration — and to advocate for those most affected.
Our Vision
To be a leading South Asian academic hub and think tank shaping national, regional and global discourse on justice, sustainability and human mobility.
