In a first-of-its-kind breakthrough for the Northeast, the Centre for Earth Sciences and Himalayan Studies (CESHS) has successfully drilled the region's first geothermal production well in Dirang, located in Arunachal Pradesh's West Kameng district.
Once fully operational, the geothermal system will power a range of eco-friendly solutions including fruit, nut, and meat drying, space heating, and controlled-atmosphere storage systems—critical technologies for enhancing agriculture and quality of life in the high-altitude Himalayan terrain.
