OF INDIA Year 2016 DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT, DISTRICT BARMER The Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change (MoEFCC), Government of India, made Environmental Clearance (EC) for mining of minerals mandatory through its Notification of 27th January, 1994 under the provisions of Environment Protection Act, 1986.Keeping in view the experience gained in environmental clearance process over a period of one decade, the MoEFCC came out with Environmental Impact Notification, SO 1533 (E), dated 14th September 2006. It has been made mandatory to obtain environmental clearance for different kinds of development projects as listed in Schedule-1 of the Notification. Further, In pursuance to the order of Hon’ble Supreme Court dated the 27th February, 2012 in I.A. No.12- 13 of 2011 in Special Leave Petition (C) No.19628-19629 of 2009, in the matter of Deepak Kumar etc. Vs. State of Haryana and Others etc., prior environmental clearance has now become mandatory for mining of minor minerals irrespective of the area of mining lease; And also in view of the Hon’ble National Green Tribunal, order dated the 13th January, 2015 in the matter regarding sand mining has directed for making a policy on environmental clearance for mining leases in cluster for minor Minerals, The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change in consultation with State governments has prepared Guidelines on Sustainable Sand Mining detailing the provisions on environmental clearance for cluster, creation of District Environment Impact Assessment Authority and proper monitoring of minor mineral mining using information technology and enabled services to track the mined out material from source to destination. The DEIAA and DEAC will scrutinize and recommend the prior environmental clearance of mining of minor minerals on the basis of District Survey Report. This will a model and guiding document which is a compendium of available mineral resources, geographical set up, environmental and ecological set up of the district and replenishment of minerals and is based on data of various departments, published reports, journals and websites.

  • Evaluating Pearl Millet Varieties with Farmers in Barmer District
    \ EVALUATING PEARL MILLET VARIETIES WITH FARMERS IN BARMER DISTRICT M.K. Choudhary, E. Weltzien R., and M.M. Sharma ABSTRACT A newly formed NGO, operating in Barmer district in western Rajasthan, applied and modified methods of farmerparticipatory variety evaluation develop by ICRISA Tscientists in otheri'egions of Rajasthan. Barmer district has the largest area under pearl millet of all the Indian districts; it is characterized by low and erratic annual rainfall. The first year results of varietal evaluations with farmers indicated that farmers from Barmer district assigned the two highest ranks to varieties with medium to late maturity, large panicles andhigh yieldpotential. The farmers from the more sandy, drierareas of Barmerdistrict didprefer higher tillering, earliermaturir~yvarieties, commonly with larger grain size as a secondary group of desirable materials. The traits used to compare varieties most often were also the characteristics of the most preferred varieties. Farmers insisted on at least one more year of such evaluations before a decision on initial adoption of any of these varieties could be taken. INTRODUCTION The Society to Uplift Rural Economy (SURE) has recently begun to manage and direct a Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), a farmer training center, with the approval of Ihe Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR). In collaboration with ICRISAT, the KVK has started a program to identify cultivars of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] suitable for cultivation in Barmer district. Barmer district has no previous research results on the adaptation of newly released varieties of pearl millet.' The current program was designed to evaluate a broad range of genetic diversity on the KVK-farm and on farmers' fields.

  • Ahimsa and Vegetarianism
    March , 2015 Vol. No. 176 Ahimsa Times in World Over + 100000 The Only Jain E-Magazine Community Service for 14 Continuous Years Readership AHIMSA AND VEGETARIANISM MAHARASHTRA GOVERNMENT BANS COW SLAUGHTER: FIVE YEARS JAIL Mar. 3rd, 2015. Mumbai. The bill banning cow slaughter in Maharashtra, pending for several years, finally received the President's assent, which means red meat lovers in the state will have to do without beef. This measure has taken almost twenty years to materialize and was initiated during the previous Sena-BJP Government. The bill was first submitted to the President for approval on January 30, 1996.. However, subsequent Governments at the Centre, including the BJP led NDA stalled it and did not seek the President’s consent. A delegation of seven state BJP MPs led by Kirit Somaiya, (MP from Mumbai North) had met the President in New Delhi recently and submitted a memorandum seeking assent to the bill. The memorandum said that the Maharashtra Animal Preservation (Amendment) Bill, 1995, passed during the previous Shiv Sena-BJP regime, was pending for approval for 19 years. The law will ban beef from the slaughter of bulls and bullocks, which was previously allowed based on a fit- for-slaughter certificate. The new Act will, however, allow the slaughter of water buffaloes. The punishment for the sale of beef or possession of it could be prison for five years with an additional fine of Rs 10,000. It is notable that, Reuters new service had earlier reported that Hindu nationalists in India had stepped up attacks on the country's beef industry, seizing trucks with cattle bound for abattoirs and blockading meat processing plants in a bid to halt the trade in the world's second-biggest exporter of beef.

  • THEIR OWN COUNTRY :A Profile of Labour Migration from Rajasthan
    THEIR OWN COUNTRY A PROFILE OF LABOUR MIGRATION FROM RAJASTHAN This report is a collaborative effort of 10 civil society organisations of Rajasthan who are committed to solving the challenges facing the state's seasonal migrant workers through providing them services and advocating for their rights. This work is financially supported by the Tata Trust migratnt support programme of the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust and Allied Trusts. Review and comments Photography Jyoti Patil Design and Graphics Mihika Mirchandani All communication concerning this publication may be addressed to Amrita Sharma Program Coordinator Centre for Migration and Labour Solutions, Aajeevika Bureau 2, Paneri Upvan, Street no. 3, Bedla road Udaipur 313004, Ph no. 0294 2454092 [email protected], [email protected] Website: www.aajeevika.org This document has been prepared with a generous financial support from Sir Dorabji Tata Trust and Allied Trusts In Appreciation and Hope It is with pride and pleasure that I dedicate this report to the immensely important, yet un-served, task of providing fair treatment, protection and opportunity to migrant workers from the state of Rajasthan. The entrepreneurial might of Rajasthani origin is celebrated everywhere. However, much less thought and attention is given to the state's largest current day “export” - its vast human capital that makes the economy move in India's urban, industrial and agrarian spaces. The purpose of this report is to bring back into focus the need to value this human capital through services, policies and regulation rather than leaving its drift to the imperfect devices of market forces. Policies for labour welfare in Rajasthan and indeed everywhere else in our country are wedged delicately between equity obligations and the imperatives of a globalised market place.

  • Castes and Caste Relationships
    Chapter 4 Castes and Caste Relationships Introduction In order to understand the agrarian system in any Indian local community it is necessary to understand the workings of the caste system, since caste patterns much social and economic behaviour. The major responses to the uncertain environment of western Rajasthan involve utilising a wide variety of resources, either by spreading risks within the agro-pastoral economy, by moving into other physical regions (through nomadism) or by tapping in to the national economy, through civil service, military service or other employment. In this chapter I aim to show how tapping in to diverse resource levels can be facilitated by some aspects of caste organisation. To a certain extent members of different castes have different strategies consonant with their economic status and with organisational features of their caste. One aspect of this is that the higher castes, which constitute an upper class at the village level, are able to utilise alternative resources more easily than the lower castes, because the options are more restricted for those castes which own little land. This aspect will be raised in this chapter and developed later. I wish to emphasise that the use of the term 'class' in this context refers to a local level class structure defined in terms of economic criteria (essentially land ownership). All of the people in Hinganiya, and most of the people throughout the village cluster, would rank very low in a class system defined nationally or even on a district basis. While the differences loom large on a local level, they are relatively minor in the wider context.
