The ‘best out of waste’ unit with segregated dry and wet vermicompost waste has emerged as a model for the neighboring villages to adapt and learn from. The vermicompost produced from the unit is used as manure in the parks to enhance their growth. The natural manure is also supplied to farmers in the district to swap chemical-laden pesticides. A new unit was also set up in Prakasam district at Vaddipadu village of Donakonda mandal. A solid waste management unit was set-up from where vermicompost is sourced.

However, no institution is so far bifurcated due to non-cooperation from the Government of Telangana. ollowing the day-long protest in Delhi by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu over the non-fulfilment of AP Reorganisation Act, a team representing various sections of society submitted a memorandum to the President. The inconsistencies in the Re-organisation Act and the actions of the Government of India causing injustice to the State of Andhra Pradesh were detailed in the representation. The A.P. Reorganisation Act, 2014 contains 14 assurances in the main sections, and 19 institutions and projects were mentioned in Schedule-XIII. The memo said that the Hon’ble President is also aware that the then Hon’ble Prime Minister made six assurances on the floor of the Rajya Sabha on 20th February 2014, including Special Category Status for 5 years to put the State’s finances on a firmer footing. Though the Government of Andhra Pradesh is in continuous touch with the respective Central Government Ministries, the progress of implementation of the assurances mentioned in the A.P. Reorganisation Act, 2014 as well as the assurances of the then Prime Minister on the floor of the Rajya Sabha is at snail’s pace. Even after 4 ½ years not even one assurance given to the 5 Crore people of Andhra Pradesh at the time of bifurcation of the State is fully implemented.

  • Sensitivity of Microphysical Schemes on the Simulation of Post-Monsoon Tropical Cyclones Over the North Indian Ocean
    atmosphere Article Sensitivity of Microphysical Schemes on the Simulation of Post-Monsoon Tropical Cyclones over the North Indian Ocean Gundapuneni Venkata Rao 1, Keesara Venkata Reddy 1 and Venkataramana Sridhar 2,* 1 Department of Civil Engineering, National Institute of Technology Warangal, Telangana 506004, India; [email protected] (G.V.R.); [email protected] (K.V.R.) 2 Department of Biological Systems Engineering, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, VA 24061, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 11 November 2020; Accepted: 30 November 2020; Published: 30 November 2020 Abstract: Tropical Cyclones (TCs) are the most disastrous natural weather phenomenon, that have a significant impact on the socioeconomic development of the country. In the past two decades, Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models (e.g., Advanced Research WRF (ARW)) have been used for the prediction of TCs. Extensive studies were carried out on the prediction of TCs using the ARW model. However, these studies are limited to a single cyclone with varying physics schemes, or single physics schemes to more than one cyclone. Hence, there is a need to compare different physics schemes on multiple TCs to understand their effectiveness. In the present study, a total of 56 sensitivity experiments are conducted to investigate the impact of seven microphysical parameterization schemes on eight post-monsoon TCs formed over the North Indian Ocean (NIO) using the ARW model. The performance of the Ferrier, Lin, Morrison, Thompson, WSM3, WSM5, and WSM6 are evaluated using error metrics, namely Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Square Error (MSE), Skill Score (SS), and average track error.

    International Journal of Innovative Studies in Sociology and Humanities (IJISSH) ISSN 2456-4931 (Online) www.ijissh.org Volume: 4 Issue: 10 | October 2019 Disaster and Large-Scale Population Displacement: World and Indian Scenario Priya Wadini Research Scholar (PhD), Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology (ISM) Dhanbad, Jharkhand, India Abstract: Displacement arising out of environmental disaster is not a new phenomenon around the world. World has experienced a series of devastating natural disasters in the last decades taking lives of hundreds of thousands of people, displacing millions, and decimated the built environment. India has also been subject to several environmental hazards such as flood, cyclone, cloudburst, landslide, etc. forcing millions to migrate away from their original place of habitation. This paper highlights the various disaster related displacement around the world and India. The data used in this study is secondary in nature and collected form the journal articles, newspaper reports, reports from various national and international organizations. The result of the study is represented with the help of Microsoft excel, and ArcGIS 10.4.1 is used to spatially depict the distribution of various disaster-prone areas of India. Keywords: Disaster, Hazard, Displacement, Migration, ArcGIS 1. INTRODUCTION Man has always been subject to natural disasters over which he has little control. Most people would include volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, landslides, tornadoes, hurricanes and cyclones; storm surge floods draughts, blizzards and forest fires in a list of environmental hazards. It is worth emphasizing that many of these only becomes hazards because man elects to use areas susceptible to these natural phenomena; this applies especially to earthquakes and floods.
