In various media reports, My Himachal is projected as US NRI Himachalis group. Whereas we are not just US Himachali organization at all!
We are an organization of people who all are in love with this beautiful land and share our enthusiasm to do something. We all come from different religions, countries, backgrounds and races.
Idea of this group is to build something larger and bigger which can make impact on Himachal, its environment and in Himachalis lives.
So to call My Himachal just a US based group would be understatement.
The root mission of this organization is to work in Himachal only.
Thank you friends for nice comments, with your appreciative and encouraging words we hope to steer ahead towards our goals. To us these nice words are the strength to do more.
As you might say, nice comments are our real and only remuneration for all this work.
