  • India Nation Action Programme to Combat Desertification
    lR;eso t;rs INDIA NATION ACTION PROGRAMME TO COMBAT DESERTIFICATION In the Context of UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION TO COMBAT DESERTIFICATION (UNCCD) Volume-I Status of Desertification MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT & FORESTS GOVERNMENT OF INDIA NEW DELHI September 2001 National Action Programme to Combat Desertification FOREWORD India is endowed with a wide variety of climate, ecological regions, land and water resources. However, with barely 2.4% of the total land area of the world, our country has to be support 16.7% of the total human population and about 18% of the total livestock population of the world. This has put enormous pressure on our natural resources. Ecosystems are highly complex systems relating to a number of factors -both biotic and abiotic - governing them. Natural ecosystems by and large have a high resilience for stability and regeneration. However, continued interference and relentless pressures on utilisation of resources leads to an upset of this balance. If these issues are not effectively and adequately addressed in a holistic manner, they can lead to major environmental problems such as depletion of vegetative cover, increase in soil ero- sion, decline in water table, and loss of biodiversity all of which directly impact our very survival. Thus, measures for conservation of soil and other natural resources, watershed development and efficient water management are the key to sustainable development of the country. The socio-ecomonic aspects of human activities form an important dimension to the issue of conservation and protection of natural resources. The measures should not only include rehabilitation of degraded lands but to also ensure that the living condi- tions of the local communities are improved.

    Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (A Govt. of India Enterprise) Notice Inviting “Expression of Interest” (EOI) for Acquisition, Processing and Interpretation (API) of 2D Seismic Data in un-appraised onland areas in 22 Sedimentary Basins of India. ONGC has been entrusted by MoP&NG, Govt. of India to carry out Acquisition, Processing and Interpretation (API) of approximately 40835 LKM 2D Seismic data in un-appraised onland areas falling in 22 sedimentary basins of India. The basic objective of the survey is to map and study Tertiary/ Mesozoic/Proterozoic sediments for prospectivity and assessment of their hydrocarbons potential. ONGC intends to outsource the 2D seismic A & PI jobs to reputed service providers so that it can be acquired, processed and interpreted in a scheduled time bound manner in 4 to 5 years as shown in table 1. Acquisition is to start tentatively from October 2015. ONGC seeks Expression of Interest (‘EOI’) under International Competitive Bidding Process (“ICB”) from reputed and experienced Indian as well as International bidders for API of 2D seismic data in these hitherto un-appraised onland areas in 22 sedimentary basins: A. Acquisition B. Processing and Interpretation Interested bidders may submit their response for Acquisition (A) or Processing and Interpretation (PI) or both ie, A&PI. Bidder may participate in one or more sectors for data acquisition depending upon their capability. As regards the Processing and Interpretation (PI) the areas may be clubbed in 2-3 groups depending upon geological complexity and type of processing required. It may please be noted that this is just a business enquiry and it does not constitute any offer for the intended work.

  • Current Condition of the Yamuna River - an Overview of Flow, Pollution Load and Human Use
    Current condition of the Yamuna River - an overview of flow, pollution load and human use Deepshikha Sharma and Arun Kansal, TERI University Introduction Yamuna is the sub-basin of the Ganga river system. Out of the total catchment’s area of 861404 sq km of the Ganga basin, the Yamuna River and its catchment together contribute to a total of 345848 sq. km area which 40.14% of total Ganga River Basin (CPCB, 1980-81; CPCB, 1982-83). It is a large basin covering seven Indian states. The river water is used for both abstractive and in stream uses like irrigation, domestic water supply, industrial etc. It has been subjected to over exploitation, both in quantity and quality. Given that a large population is dependent on the river, it is of significance to preserve its water quality. The river is polluted by both point and non-point sources, where National Capital Territory (NCT) – Delhi is the major contributor, followed by Agra and Mathura. Approximately, 85% of the total pollution is from domestic source. The condition deteriorates further due to significant water abstraction which reduces the dilution capacity of the river. The stretch between Wazirabad barrage and Chambal river confluence is critically polluted and 22km of Delhi stretch is the maximum polluted amongst all. In order to restore the quality of river, the Government of India (GoI) initiated the Yamuna Action Plan (YAP) in the1993and later YAPII in the year 2004 (CPCB, 2006-07). Yamuna river basin River Yamuna (Figure 1) is the largest tributary of the River Ganga. The main stream of the river Yamuna originates from the Yamunotri glacier near Bandar Punch (38o 59' N 78o 27' E) in the Mussourie range of the lower Himalayas at an elevation of about 6320 meter above mean sea level in the district Uttarkashi (Uttranchal).

  • Planning and Sustainable Development in Indian Context 105
    Unit III The word ‘planning’ is not new to you as it is a part of everyday usage. You must have used Chapter 9 it with reference to preparation for your examination or visit to a hill station. It involves the process of thinking, formulation of a scheme or programme and implementation of a set of actions to achieve some goal. Though it is a very broad term, in this chapter, it has been used with reference to the process of economic development. It is, thus different from the traditional hit-and-miss methods by PLANNING AND On 1 January 2015, the NITI Aayog was formed. India adopted centralised planning SUSTAINABLE after Independence, but subsequently, it graduated into decentralised multi-level DEVELOPMENT IN planning. The responsibility of plan formulation was with the Planning Comminssion at the INDIAN CONTEXT Centre, State and district levels. But on 1 January 2015, the Planning Commision was replaced by the NITI Aayog. NITI Aayog has been set up with the objective of involving the states in economic policy making for India for providing strategic and technical advice to the Central and State governments. which reforms and reconstruction are often undertaken. Generally, there are two approaches to planning, i.e., sectoral planning and regional planning. Sectoral planning means formulation and implementation of the sets of schemes or programmes aimed at development of various sectors of the economy, such as agriculture, irrigation, manufacturing, power, construction, transport, communication, social infrastructure and services. There is no uniform economic development over space in any country. Some areas are more developed and some lag behind.

  • Are You Suprised ? F…
    1.0 INTRODUCTION The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 has been aimed to fulfill the water quality requirement of designated-best-uses of all the natural aquatic resources. Loss of bio-diversity on account of degradation of habitat has become the cause of major concern in recent years. Central Pollution Control Board, while executing the nation wide responsibility for water quality monitoring and management has established water quality monitoring network in the country. The Water Quality Monitoring Network constitutes 784 monitoring stations located on various water bodies all over the country. However, wetland areas have not been included as part of regular water quality monitoring network in the country. Keeping in view the importance of water quality of wetland areas, Central Pollution Control Board has initiated studies on Bio-monitoring of selected wetlands in wildlife habitats of the country. Bio monitoring of wetlands in wild life sanctuaries has been considered as most suitable measure to evaluate the health of wildlife ecosystem. Further, the monitoring of environmental variables will be immensely helpful in protecting and restoring the ecological status in these threatened habitats. 2.0 CPCB’S INITIATIVES FOR BIO-MONITORING OF WETLANDS Under the Indo-Dutch collaborative project, the development of bio- monitoring methodology for Indian river water quality evaluation was initiated during 1988. The Central Pollution Control Board carried out a pilot study on the River Yamuna for a selected stretch from Delhi upstream to Etawah downstream. The main objective of this study was to formulate strategic methods, which can be accepted in scientific and legislative framework for water quality evaluation.
