V.K. Joshi
Born in Uttaranchal in September 1941, Vijay
Joshi worked as a geologist with the Geological Survey Of India for 36
years. During this period he covered the length and breadth of the country
searching for ground water, mapping the Himalayas for mineral wealth,
studied the environments of the pre-historic eras and finally retired as
Director, Northern Region, GSI at Lucknow and settled there.
Post retirement in September 2001 Vijay Joshi has taken up free lance
journalism and using his experience he normally writes about environment
and nature related topics. However, sometimes he does pen down satires
too. He writes both in English and Hindi and has published more than 800
articles in all the leading newspapers of India and some leading
environmental magazines like Down To Earth and Journal of United Nations
Environmental Program.
'Geo-diversity is the cradle of bio-diversity' and he attempts to convey
this motto.
