Centre for Environment Protection, Research & Development (CEPRD), Indore MP is a NGO working at national level for betterment and protection of environment. It came into existence on 6h June 1996 as a result of voluntary efforts of the enlightened and environment loving citizens of Indore. The rapid deterioration of the environment in Indore and neighboring Malwa region impelled a few enlightened and conscious citizens including industrialist, social workers, doctors, teachers and judges to get together and work selflessly, without government aides, towards the betterment, preservation, research & development of the environment of Indore (Malwa) region and around.

Thus it is a body of think alike socially awakened people working like crusaders for a noble cause of environment protection and associated elements. Here modern technology and knowhow is used to achieve the goal with committed public participation. Assistance is also sought from specialists and experienced personnel of the field to carry out the investigative and related works. The organization has worked all these years on the principle of “Think Globally and Act Locally”.
