SDGs are pivotal in securing the future economic and business growth. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) provides an ideal platform for the corporate to commit to the sustainability goals. The mandatory provisions of Companies Act 2013 pave the way for increased participation of the corporate in India in achieving these goals. This paper focuses on the need for partnership between the various stakeholders for achieving the sustainability goals and also looks into the scope of aligning CSR activities with the SDGs and the advantages of such collaborative efforts. Introduction The concept of Green business is a culmination of global anxiety over the sustainability of the economic and financial growth in the backdrop of climate change and depletion of natural resources. The increasing awareness of the corrosive impact of businesses over the environment has spurred multinational companies to adopt ‗green measures‘ in their business practices. The green measures include the constricted view of merely producing green outcomes to the broadened outlook of balancing the profitability of business with sustainability. A green business integrates environmentally sustainable practices in its core business activities and is also socially responsible while it is profitable. Sustainability means development of the present generation while preserving the environment for future generations and not impeding with their right to enjoy the Earth‘s bounties. So a green business would imperatively mean that which is environmentally socially and economically sustainable. It is touted that the Paris climate agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, have galvanized the companies to commit to contribute to

    MINUTES OF THE 8TH PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION REVIEW COMMITTEE (PIRC) MEETING FOR CADWM IMPLEMENTATION OF 99 PRIORITIZED IRRIGATION PROJECTS UNDER PMKSY HELD ON 4th MARCH, 2021 1.0 The 8th meeting of the Project Implementation Review Committee (PIRC) for CADWM implementation of 99 prioritized projects was organized over virtual platform on 4th March, 2021 under the Chairmanship of Smt. Debashree Mukherjee, Additional Secretary, DoWR, RD & GR, Ministry of Jal Shakti, Govt. of India. The PIRC meeting which usually would be a two day program consisting of field visit and a review meeting was shortened and the field visit was eliminated due to present COVID scenario. Senior officers from DoWR, RD & GR, Central Water Commission, State Governments and Project Monitoring Unit (PMU) attended the meeting. The list of participants is at Annexure- I and summary record of PIRC decisions and recommendations is given at Annexure-II. Photographs taken during the meeting are at Annexure-III. 2.0 Additional Secretary, DoWR, RD & GR, in her opening remarks to the participants expressed concerns over the slow implementation of the CADWM program. She also emphasized the importance of the Command Area Development Program and further stated that command area development is the keystone for equitable access of water, without which all the investments on the dam & canal network will go in vain. She highlighted two critical aspects for the CADWM implementation, namely: (i) completing the CAD works within stipulated time frame, and (ii) ensuring the sustainable Water User Association (WUAs) that can take on the responsibility for the management of completed CAD assets. She further stressed that WUAs should be involved in the CAD planning right from the inception stage of the program under each project.

A son, borne by mother earth in her womb to live a full hundred years. Might in his arms and shoulders light in his eyes, and in his heart desire for upliftment amid sorrow. He came. He was young. Yes, a man. The brother of the one who only the day before with agility of mind as wings on his shoulder climbed the sky, to touch the moon and return -a hard worker. He came to draw the rope with a wish in his heart: "Today we shall all be of one mind". "Halt" said one. "Stop" said another. "A weed" said one. "Of low birth" said another. "Say" said one. "Set alight" said another. The fall of a stone, the slitting of a throat, the flight of a lip and teeth that scattered, the splattering of blood, and an earth that turned red. A fight there was, and people were killed. A chariot for the village to draw stood still like it struck root. On it, the mother goddess, the creator of all worlds, sat still, dumbfounded by the zealotry of her children. Out there, the kin of the man who only the day before had touched the moon is rolling in dirt.

    Arupadai Veedu

    Arupadai Veedu Arupadai Veedu - The Six Abodes of Lord Muruga The Lord is known by different names such as Karthikeya, Skanda, Vadivela and Muruga at various temples. These six temples are situated in Tamil Nadu. These most sacred abodes of Lord Muruga is mentioned in Tamil divine literature, "Thirumurugatrupadai", written by Poet Nakkeerar and in "Thirupugal", written by Saint-poet Arunagirinathar. The six abodes are: Thirupparankunram Thiruchendur Palani Swamimalai Thiruthani and Pazhamudircholai. �� Om Saravanabhavaya namaha�� Arupadai Veedu - 1 of 6 Tirupparankundram is a hill at 8kms southwest of Madurai, Tamilnadu. A cave temple mentioned in various classical Tamil texts as the 'Southern Himalaya' where the gods assemble, Tirupparankunram is also mentioned in legend as 'the place where the sun and moon abide'. Long ago the two daughters of Lord Vishnu, Amrita Valli and Sundara Valli, cherished the desire of becoming the consorts of Lord Subrahmanya. With this aim in mind they both went to Saravana Poigai (pool in Himalayas) and commenced austere penance to fulfil their desires. Pleased with their prayer and worship, Lord Subrahmanya appeared before them and told Amrita Valli, "You will be brought up by Indra as his daughter and I shall marry you in due course." Her younger sister Sundara Valli was also graced with a similar blessing. She was born to sage Sivamuni and brought up by Nambi, the headman of Veddas. Contd..2 -2- Amrita Valli took the form of a female child and went to Mount Meru where Indra's Airavatam - white elephant, took care of her. Hence she came to be known as Devayanai, one who was brought up by the heavenly elephant of Indra (yana in Tamil means elephant).

    Additional Exploratory Drilling of 13 Wells in KG Basin On-Land PML Acreages of East Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh

    Additional Exploratory Drilling of 13 wells in KG Basin on-land PML acreages of East Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh Intensive exploration is being carried out in KG on-land erstwhile PEL-1A and PEL-1B blocks of Krishna Godavari Basin. Based on the hydrocarbon discoveries made so far and the upside hydrocarbon potential in the blocks, they have been converted to PML blocks for periods ranging from 7 to 20 years. The Godavari on-land PML including the smaller ML areas within constitutes erstwhile PEL- 1B Block of the KG On-land Basin with an approximate area of 3090 Sq. Km and is having mining lease period from seven to twenty years. East Godavari district constitutes about 1807 Sq. Km of Godavari on-land PML (including Endamuru, Mandapeta, Mandapeta west, Enugupalli, Manepalli extension, Tatipaka-Pasarlapudi, Adavipalem-Ponmanda, Srikatapalli- Pasarlrapudi-24 & Gopavaram, Mori, Kesavadasupalem and Kesanapalli PML areas). The relentless exploratory inputs expended by ONGC in the acreages falling in West Godavari district lead to a good number of discoveries and leads. Twelve hydrocarbon bearing fields viz. Tatipaka, Pasarlapudi, Srikatapalli Gopavaram, Mori, Kesavadasupalem, Adavipalem, Ponmanda, Mandapeta, Endamuru, Rangapuram and Bhimanapalli were established so far. Carpet 3D seismic survey with improved imaging of the sub-surface has significantly changed the exploration scenario in the block, yielding discovery of Kothalanka, Geddanapalli, Vygreswaram and Mandapeta South oil fields. Based on these leads, exploring Synrift sediments attain significance for further Hydrocarbon exploration and this block has large upside potential. Based on the Geological and Geophysical studies locations are firmed up for exploratory drilling to probe new prospects and also to delineate the existing oil and gas pools of the established fields.
