Cave research in India

This research center in Raipur studies natural cave formations, their ecosystems, and geological structures across different regions of India. It provides laboratory facilities and scientific resources for investigating these underground environments.

Formal cave research in India began with systematic investigations at Siju Cave in Meghalaya during the early 20th century. These early studies laid the foundation for expanding scientific work across the country's underground systems.

The organization implements educational programs, competitions, and photography events to promote cave conservation awareness among students and local communities.

The facility maintains a central laboratory in Raipur where visitors can see research areas and study spaces. It suits students and people interested in learning about cave science and research methods.

Kotumsar Cave in Central India hosts specialized organisms adapted to complete darkness and serves as a key research location. These life forms provide rare insights into biology under extreme underground conditions.
