CMS ENVIS Centre The CMS ENVIS Centre is a premiere centre designated by the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India, to facilitate information dissemination and further the cause of environmental awareness and sensitization. Since its inception, it has come a long way to establish itself as a key resource center, coordinating body and platform for information dissemination on environmental communication, strategies and media related activities. Today, the Centre reaches out to a large number of people through its various activities. The ENVIS quarterly newsletter, Green Voice – the gateway of information on environment and media — is received by more than 1,000 readers, while its daily e-newsletter, Green Media (on environmental issues in print media) has a circulation of over 3,000. From time to time, the Centre also undertakes focused studies of ‘green space’ in print and electronic media, and issues coverage analysis on different contemporary issues. The Clemenceau is one such highly acclaimed publication. CMS ENVIS also collates for its readers impressive databases of more than 12000 ‘green’ news from national and regional dailies, 800 advertising agencies and 2000 audio-visual programmes, thereby facilitating easy access to prominent and relevant media information. The Centre has been an active and dynamic channel for reaching out to people through different communication tools such as newsletters, publications, research studies, case studies and websites, and has striven to build public consensus on and a network for environment conservation. www.cmsindia.org/cmsenvis Environmental Information System — ENVIS, India Realizing the importance of environmental information and its dissemination, the Government of India, in December 1982, established an Environmental Information System (ENVIS) as a plan programme. The focus of ENVIS since inception has been on providing environmental information to decision-makers, policy planners, scientists, engineers and research workers all over the country. Since environment is a broad-ranging, multi-disciplinary subject, a comprehensive information system on environment would necessarily involve effective participation of the institutions/organizations in the country that are actively engaged in work relating to different areas of environment. ENVIS has, therefore, devoted itself to networking with such institutions/organizations. A large number of nodes, known as ENVIS Centres, have been established in the network to cover the broad subject areas of environment, under a Focal Point in the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests. The Focal Point as well as the ENVIS Centres has been assigned various responsibilities to achieve the long-term and short-term objectives. For this purpose, various services have also been introduced by the Focal Point. ENVIS, due to its comprehensive network, has been designed as the National Focal Point (NFP) for INFOTERRA, a global environmental information network of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). In order to strengthen the information activities of the NFP, ENVIS was designated as the Regional Service Centre (RSC) of INFOTERRA in 1985 for the South Asia Sub-Region countries. www.envis.nic.in Foreword The CMS ENVIS — short for Environmental Information System — Centre was set up with support from the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests. The aim of the Centre was to function as a state-of-the-art information disseminator on issues of environment and media. Through the past years, the Centre has been singularly focused on this vision, and this Green Films Directory is another expression of its commitment to the cause. Films are a strong tool for encouraging awareness on environment and development: with this belief, the CMS ENVIS Centre is delighted to introduce this first edition of the Directory – a complete repository of audio-visual resources in India on environment and wildlife. The Centre firmly believes that this seminal work will be a catalyst for promoting environmental concerns in the country. The Directory features 2000 entries, distributed over eleven major subjects. The films are categorised with appropriate cross-references. Subject-wise and title-wise indexes have been included to facilitate search for required information. We are thankful to all the concerned organizations and individuals for their prompt responses to our questionnaires. It would have been impossible to publish the Directory without their support. We are also thankful to the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests for its continued support and guidance. It has been an effort to compile and bring together this unique and comprehensive Directory. We hope that it will be an impetus to the environmental education movement in our country. P. N. Vasanti Director, CMS Directory of Green Films Films on environment and wildlife are not only relevant as works of art, but are also important as historical and scientific documentation and as instruments for bringing about change. This is the philosophy behind this Directory of Green Films. This Directory is the first-ever comprehensive compilation of audio-visual resources on environment and wildlife. A virtual treasure-trove of ‘green’ films, it is designed to satisfy the information requirements of academicians, civil society groups, government organizations, environmentalists, researchers, media professionals, conservationists, activists, filmmakers, public and private sector organizations, educational institutions, teachers and students. Thematically classified, the Directory provides details of documentaries, public service messages, animation films and feature presentations, along with contact details of the filmmakers and concerned organizations. The 2000 entries in the Directory have been categorized into eleven segments — arranged alphabetically — according to the availability of the films. These categories are Agriculture and Pesticides, Biodiversity and Forestry, Eco-tourism, Energy, Environmental Education, Industry and Environment, Livelihood, Solid Waste Management, Toxics and Climate Change, Water and Wildlife. Subject-wise and title-wise index have been included to facilitate search for required information.

  • For the Glory of Sport
    For The Glory Of Sport The story of the Commonwealth Games from 1930 to 2014 By Bob Phillips Author€s Note The Commonwealth Games have always been particularly close to my heart in a lifetime of a passionate interest in sport. I saw them for the first time as a teenage fan in Cardiff in 1958 € when they were still known as the British Empire and Commonwealth Games € and was captivated then by the marvellous deeds of the athletes on a cinder track fitted tightly round the hallowed turf of the celebrated Arms Park rugby-football ground. Lithe and lightning-fast sprinters from the Caribbean islands, rugged middle-distance and long-distance runners from Australia and New Zealand, a gloriously fluent quarter-miler from India, jumpers and throwers from what then seemed such exotic far-flung corners of the globe as Fiji, North Borneo and Singapore € it was all intensely exciting and laid the foundations for what would be for me many more such delightful adventures to come as a professional journalist and broadcaster. Even so, there were only 35 countries competing at those Games of more than half-a-century ago. In Glasgow this year there will be twice that number. The Games have grown out of all recognition, but in the process of so doing they have managed to maintain an intimacy € even a coziness, if you like € which so many of the other forms of international sport have long since shunned in the relentless interests of commercialism. This is a favoured theme of mine which you will find recurring throughout this history of the Commonwealth Games € call me old-fashioned, if you wish, but there are inherent qualities of fair play, of sportsmanship, of comradely competition among members of a vastly extended but affectionate family, which have survived over more than 80 years at these Games, though not entirely unscathed, and they are not widely in evidence elsewhere these days.
