The Uttarakhand Parivartan Party (translation: Uttarakhand Transformation Party; abbr. UPP) is a registered unrecognised regional political party in Uttarakhand, India. It is the first green party in India.

History[edit]

UPP was formed on January 18, 2009 after two years of grassroots deliberations.[1] The party fielded two candidates in the 2009 parliamentary elections and 15 candidates in the 2012 state assembly elections. UPP is raising awareness about Green politics among the masses, although it is yet to win representation in government.

Leadership[edit]

The UPP has an elected body of office bearers headed by its President, P. C. Tiwari. The main administrative function is the Secretary-General, served by Prabhat Dhyani. The party is member of Global Greens. The party is also the member of Asia Pacific Greens Federation[2]
