The State, despite constraints of nascence has made rapid progress and registered one of the highest growth rate in the GSDP amongst the States of the country during the last one decade and now poised to consolidate and sustain the progress during the next Five Year Plan i.e. the 12^h Five Year Plan. While starting a new five year plan it is imperative as a first step to analyze the past performance of the economy; the broad issues that the Plan will focus on; and the underlying philosophy of the Plan. It is an opportunity to ponder upon the past performance and find out the strength and weakness of the State's economy and chalk out the goals and strategies to be adopted during the next five years.

  • May-June 2013 HIHT News
    HIHT News Founder: H.H. Dr. Swami Rama To be Committed to Something Means to Do It with Full Dedication and Sincerity Patanjali says, ahimsa pratishthayam tat samniddhau vairatyagah (When one is firmly established in ahimsa, others let go of any hostility in that person’s presence). If you sincerely follow ahimsa with mind, action and speech, even the most ferocious animal will become calm and quiet in your presence. Many yogis practising in the deep forests of the jungle have experienced this phenomenon. When you have no desire or thought to kill any animal, why should an animal want to kill you? If you are truly established in ahimsa, you will radiate love and no one will hurt you. Animals, even the deadliest of snakes and the most vicious animals, will transform into loving creatures before you. If you are not afraid, you will not invite danger. I can give you one example from my own experience: When I was just eleven years of age, Rishikesh was very different than it is today. At that time it was not polluted or crowded and it was mostly forests. One day after taking a dip in the Ganges, my master took me to the nearby Virbhadra temple to meditate. I was still a child, so naturally I kept opening and closing my eyes after every few minutes. Once when I opened my eyes I was horrified to see a cobra sitting just one meter away from me! My Lord, I became so afraid! I closed my eyes again and tried to meditate, but I could only meditate on the cobra.

  • Water Equity and Tourism: a Case of Nainital District, Uttarakhand Yamini Yogya
    Water Equity and Tourism: A Case of Nainital District, Uttarakhand Yamini Yogya Introduction This study is based on fieldwork that was carried out in the North Indian state of Uttarakhand over the course of a few years since 2014 under two projects. The first project was the Himalayan, Adaptation, Water and Resilience, where I was involved in the capacity of a research intern. The objective of the working package I was a part of aimed at exploring the impact of climate change on the livelihoods of communities living in the Upper Ganga Basin. The second project, carried out in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand mapped the impact of multiple stressors (both climatic and non- climatic) on mountain farmers in two blocks of the Nainital district. This paper draws from both field experiences and data, but focusses primarily on observations and on- field narratives from Ramgarh and Dhari blocks of Nainital district in Uttarakhand. Urbanization and the increase in tourism infrastructure in the district over the past decade has resulted in a conflict over water access and equity. An increase in tourism operators in the region has led to a change in the social and cultural fabric of the norms that had been in place for decades. The development of tourism infrastructure has put an incredible amount of pressure on an already fragile mountain ecosystem, and necessitates the inequitable sharing of an extremely limited natural resource. At the village level, the local self-government or the Panchayat is tasked with dealing with conflicts that arise from the mis-appropriation of water.

    Established in 1936 The Doon School WEEKLYz z Saturday, October 12 z 2013 z Issue No. 2356 REGULARS CARTOON INTERVIEW MIDTERM 2 2 3 4 AA CCRICKETINGRICKETING LLEGENDEGEND Following are the Questions and Answers of the Interactive session held with Mr. Brian LaraLara. After the introduction of cricket leagues like the IPL and the champions league T20, there has been a major change in the style of cricket played these days, do you think this change is beneficial for the cricketing world as a whole? Brian Lara (BLR): It’s important to diversify cricket and to change the various styles of play. If you are cricketer in the West Indies it’s important that you play for the West Indies’. Let me give you the e.g. of football. There is international football and club football. Clubs like Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid play matches that are sometimes considered bigger than international matches. Now in the IPL or the CLT20, there are a lot of cricketers who are making a living and are also getting to play international matches. Players who have never played a test match for their country have performed very well in t20 matches. In terms of the style of play, I feel that it is an honour to have played a lot of test matches. Some of which I have enjoyed tremendously. I grew up watching great cricketers and thus I did want to play test cricket. But now times have changed and the spectators want a fast, action packed game. Sachin is going to play his 200th test in the West Indies.
