Introduction and Vision Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) has formulated a comprehensive scheme for “Promoting Energy Efficiency activities in different sectors of Indian Economy”. Hon’ble Minister of State (IC) for Power has approved this scheme comprising of the following components for 2017-20. S.

These operational guidelines encompass the details of physical and financial outlays and other relevant information pertaining to this component scheme for “Strengthening of SDAs” which shall be useful for SDAs and various concerned stakeholders for implementation of requisite activities. Since “Strengthening of SDAs” is one of the component schemes under the said umbrella scheme, it will be herein after referred as “Strengthening of SDAs” scheme. Under the framework of Energy Conservation (EC) Act, a two-tier structure has been established for undertaking energy efficiency activities with Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) at the Centre and State Designated Agencies (SDAs) as nodal agencies at the State level. In exercise of the powers conferred by section 15(d) of EC Act 2001, all the State Governments have designated an agency as State Designated 1 Agency (SDA) to coordinate, regulate and enforce the provisions of this Act within the State, either by assigning additional responsibilities to one of the existing departments of the State Government or by establishing a dedicated Stand-Alone SDA for energy efficiency. At present, there are total 36 SDAs in the country, out of which, 16 are Renewable Energy Development Agencies, 5 are State Government Power Departments, 7 are Electrical Inspectorates, 6 are Electricity Distribution Companies and 2 are Stand- Alone SDAs. Complete list of the SDAs (in alphabetical order) is provided below. S.

However, remaining 34 States/UTs have assigned additional responsibility of facilitation and enforcement of the provisions of the EC Act at the State level to one of their existing agencies/ departments, wherein, the SDA shares key facilities / staff / budget with the parent department. Such SDAs are not able to give their undivided attention to the task of energy efficiency. This dampens the pace and direction of the energy conservation programmes, thereby limiting the outreach of activities. On the other hand, in States where Stand-Alone SDAs exist, it is observed that they are in a better position to perform the mandated functions. Considering the significance of implementation of energy efficiency and conservation measures in meeting India’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) target of reduction in the emission intensity of its GDP by 33 to 35 per cent from 2005 level by 2030 and requirement of dedicated support and proactive endeavour on the part of State Governments by undertaking various energy efficiency measures, Hon’ble Minister of State (IC) for Power and New & Renewable Energy has sent a letter to Hon’ble Chief Minister of all the States (except Kerala and Andhra Pradesh), urging them to issue necessary instructions for establishing a “Stand-Alone” SDA in their respective States for effective implementation of the EC Act and the programmes thereunder. 4 In order to build and strengthen the institutional, technical and financial capacities and capabilities of the SDAs for undertaking energy efficiency activities at the State level, the Ministry of Power approved the scheme on “Strengthening of SDAs to promote efficient use of energy and its conservation” during the XI plan, which was continued during the XII plan and has also been ratified for the period 2017-20. Since its inception during the XI plan, BEE has been providing financial assistance to the SDAs under this

  • Odisha As a Multicultural State: from Multiculturalism to Politics of Sub-Regionalism
    Afro Asian Journal of Social Sciences Volume VII, No II. Quarter II 2016 ISSN: 2229 – 5313 ODISHA AS A MULTICULTURAL STATE: FROM MULTICULTURALISM TO POLITICS OF SUB-REGIONALISM Artatrana Gochhayat Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, Sree Chaitanya College, Habra, under West Bengal State University, Barasat, West Bengal, India ABSTRACT The state of Odisha has been shaped by a unique geography, different cultural patterns from neighboring states, and a predominant Jagannath culture along with a number of castes, tribes, religions, languages and regional disparity which shows the multicultural nature of the state. But the regional disparities in terms of economic and political development pose a grave challenge to the state politics in Odisha. Thus, multiculturalism in Odisha can be defined as the territorial division of the state into different sub-regions and in terms of regionalism and sub- regional identity. The paper attempts to assess Odisha as a multicultural state by highlighting its cultural diversity and tries to establish the idea that multiculturalism is manifested in sub- regionalism. Bringing out the major areas of sub-regional disparity that lead to secessionist movement and the response of state government to it, the paper concludes with some suggestive measures. INTRODUCTION The concept of multiculturalism has attracted immense attention of the academicians as well as researchers in present times for the fact that it not only involves the question of citizenship, justice, recognition, identities and group differentiated rights of cultural disadvantaged minorities, it also offers solutions to the challenges arising from the diverse cultural groups. It endorses the idea of difference and heterogeneity which is manifested in the cultural diversity.

  • The States People's Movements
    www.iasscore.in 33 THE STATES PEOPLE'S MOVEMENTS While the British territories in India were directly ruled by the British authorities, the rest of the country was made up of a large number of princely states, referred to by the Britishers as Native States. These states varied from very large to very small in area and population and were scattered all over the country interspersing the British Indian areas. These areas were ruled indirectly by the British through the princes themselves. The condition of the people in the princely states was much worse than that of those in the British governed territories. Thought both the peoples were exploited to the maximum extent by their rulers, the people in the British governed areas benefited indirectly from the process of modernization particularly in the fields of education, transport, communication, industrialization etc. But the princes opposed the process of modernization in their states, since it would threaten the very basis of their existence. The British also did not press for modernization in the princely states since they did not want to incur the displeasure of the princes, whom they, in fact, wanted to use as a bulwark against rising Nationalism. Demands of people under Native Rulers The grievances of different sections of these states were an important factor. To begin with, the condition of the peasants was pathetic due to the feudal nature of the economy and society. While the peasantry was taxed heavily and oppressed in several ways such as forced labour, there were no incentives to them from the state i.e.

  • Statehood Demands After Telengana: Politics of Agitation in the Koshal Region in Odisha Artatrana Gochhayat*
    Quest Journals Journal of Research in Humanities and Social Science Volume1 ~ Issue 3 (2013) pp: 08-12 ISSN(Online) :2321-9467 www.questjournals.org Research Paper Statehood Demands after Telengana: Politics of Agitation in the Koshal Region in Odisha Artatrana Gochhayat* *Assistant Professor of Political Science, Sree Chaitanya College, Habra, Under West Bengal State University, Barasat. Received 11 November, 2013; Accepted 30 November, 2013© The author(s) 2013. Published with open access at www.questjournal.org ABSTRACT: Telengana stands on the threshold of achieving of its 60- year- old dream of statehood. But the outpouring of rage among people in the other regions of Andhra Pradesh and the revival of the demands for new states across the country pose a severe challenge to the ruling Congress Party. The demand for separate state in various parts of the subcontinent mainly arises out of identity, region, language, culture, caste, class and economic underdevelopment. However, it is in this context that this paper makes an attempt to highlight on how movements for separate statehood started immediately after the declaration of Telengana to be 29th state of India and more specifically the paper focuses on the agitation of the Koshal region to form a Koshal state in Odisha. The paper very briefly suggests the bare need of the Second States Reorganization Commission so as to tackle all these demands. Keywords: Agitation, Koshal, Statehood, Telengana, Trigger I. INTRODUCTION The decision of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) to divide Andhra Pradesh (AP) and to grant statehood to Telengana as the 29th state has sparked protests for statehood across the country.

ORISSA GOVERNMENT PRESS CUTTACK, 1965 RAJBHAVAN BHUBANESWAR Tfl!,_9t1!;Augl.lst, 1965 GOVERNOR, ORISSA FOREWORD THE State of Orissa represents 4·9 per cent of the area and 4·02 per cent ;'f th~ p(;pul:tion of India. Nature has been generous in providing the State with untold wealth in minerals, :water, fertile land and forests. The rich alluvial soil in the deltaic areas as well as along the river basins, as also most of the uplands, are capable of producing a large variety of crops. The water-shed areas of the major rivers and hill tracts are covered with vast forests of great economic value. The State has roughly half the mineral wealth of India hidden underground awaiting exploitation. Vast quantities of water flow down the rivers which, fortunately for Orissa, are strategically dispersed over the entire State, and, if harnessed properly, will banish the twin spectre of floods and droughts haunting vast areas of culturable lands, and at the same time provide water for irrigating millions of acres in the coastal areas and upland and for generating large quantities of hydro-electric power for use in industry, and also make available hundreds of miles of irrigation-cum-navigation waterways for inland transport, and large areas for fish culture, recreation and tourism. These bounties of nature, the variety of picturesque landscapes and the long seacoast have attracted people from different parts of the country so that through the centuries a fine blend of human material and culture has developed.
