SOUTH ASIAN NITROGEN HUB (SANH)

About: 

• Eighteen research institutions in India are among a group of 50 institutions — called the South Asian Nitrogen Hub (SANH) — in the United Kingdom and South Asia. 
  
  
• The group has secured £20 million (about ₹200 crore) from the U.K. government to assess and study the quantum and impact of “nitrogen pollution” in South Asia. 
  
  
• The SANH will study the impacts of the different forms of pollution to form a “coherent picture” of the nitrogen cycle. 
  
  
• In particular, it will look at nitrogen in agriculture in eight countries — India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and Maldives.
