The editorial values focus on leading and shaping public opinion on the issues that affect Himachal Pradesh and other such hills and mountainous regions. A news medium, for senstive, concerned and thinking people.


Quality journalism and further support costs a lot of money.
Him Vikas tries to cover news and views, reach out to a worldwide audience and tell the human story with integrity, balance, and thoughtfulness. It will cost a lot this year to bring you the news and our monthly digest. We endeavour not only to bring news, views and editorials, but also organise and work towards the betterment and upliftment of the those in need and support.

For Example, Organising Blood donation camps, fund-raisers, supporting orphanages and assembling support groups. Looking into shelter (habitat), safe and clear air, water, sanitation, hygiene, food & nutrition, health (including Prevention and Control of Diseases), poverty alleviation, clean environment and sustainable eco-systems etc. All this costs a lot of money. The Academy also works in the areas of clean, efficient, transparent governance, e- governance, natural justice, human and civil rights and oneness of consumer rights, social & economic security, peace, disarmament and equality.


Him Vikas is non-profit.
The academy also raises funds in the shape of enrollment membership fees, loans, grants, help, assistance, donations, funding etc. from inland (India & Indian States) and foreign/distant lands from individuals (NRIs, Foreigners Etc.), institutions, organisations, governments, agencies etc. of any legitimate kind for its operations. Editors spend the money necessary to bring you important stories, based on news judgment, not commercial potential.


Donations cover 60% of the costs.
Income from subscriptions and advertising is not sufficient to sustain our online edition and monthly digest; we rely on the generosity of readers and donors.
