E-mail: [email protected] ARTICLE HISTORY ABSTRACT Received: 09 Sept. 2016 This paper is aimed at examining the relevance and impact of Jabi Lake in urban development and Revised received: 16 Sept. 2016 sustainable environmental change management. It uses a 2km radius buffer of remotely sensed Accepted: 25 Sept. 2016 satellite data from Landsat to examine the landuse/land cover dynamics within Jabi Lake and its environs in FCT-Abuja, Nigeria. Using maximum likelihood algorithm in ERDAS Imagine Keywords software, the supervised classification result shows that the lake water body decreased from 4.1 % Lake in 1987 to 3.1% in 2006 and later increased to 4.0% in 2014. Built up experienced the highest Landuse/Landcover Change landuse/land cover change from 3.17% in 1987 to 33.4% in 2006 and 37.5% in 2014. Light and Remote Sensing dense vegetation reduced the most, while bare surface also showed an increase due to rapid urban Social impact development around the lake in the last 27 years. The focused group discussion (FGD) reveals that Sustainable development the conversion of previous agricultural land use and unplanned land uses to residential land use was due to high demand for residential housing around the lake. The perceived ambience scenery and accessible good road network were ranked as the first and second major positive centripetal forces of attraction to building near the lake while expensive land purchase and high rent were ranked first and second as the most negative centrifugal impacts of the lake on the environment. In conclusion, there is the need to monitor the progression of urban development so as to safeguard the lake for aquatic agriculture and it‟s immediate environment from further deterioration. ©2016 Agriculture and Environmental Science Academy Citation of this article: Susan, E.

Studies reveal that Lakes Conceptually, a lake could be described as an area of are generally known to be sources of inspiration, variable size filled with water, localized in a basin that is recreation, rejuvenation and discovery and also considered surrounded by land, apart from any river or other outlet as important elements in the heritage of many cultures that serves to feed or drain it (Bryant and Rainey, 2002; (Stewart, 2012). Husain, 2016). Spatially, Lakes lie on land and are not part Like many other water bodies, lakes are used by humans of the ocean and are also larger and deeper than ponds. for many purposes such as for fishing, transportation, Lakes may be contrasted with rivers or streams, which are irrigation, industrial water supplies, and receiving waters usually flowing. However most lakes are fed and drained for wastewater effluents. Aside from their importance for by rivers and streams (Henkel, 2015). A lake can either be human use, lakes have intrinsic ecological and environ- artificial or natural. While Natural lakes are generally mental values (Limgis, 2001) because they store water, found in mountainous areas, rift zones, and areas with thereby helping to regulate stream flow, recharge ground ongoing glaciation (Gupta, 2011) many lakes are artificial water aquifers, and moderate droughts. They also provide and are usually constructed for industrial or agricultural habitat to aquatic and semi aquatic plants and animals, use, for hydro-electric power generation or domestic water which in turn provide food for many terrestrial animals, supply, or for aesthetic or recreational purposes. In some and they add to the diversity of the landscape. Healthy parts of the world, there are many lakes because of chaotic lakes and their shores not only provide us with a number of drainage patterns left over from the last Ice Age. However, environmental benefits but they influence quality of life all lakes are temporary over geologic time scales, as they and strengthen the economy (John, 2014). 2 Susan E.

IRB protocol # 16-0414 ii ABSTRACT Huda, Juhi (Ph.D., Environmental Studies) Narratives of Conflict in Agricultural Biotechnology Policy in India Thesis directed by Associate Professor Deserai Anderson Crow The Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) focuses attention on narratives in policy debates and their empirical analysis. While NPF has become an important and accepted approach to studying the policy process, the majority of research applies it to policy and linguistic contexts of the United States, which limits its generalizability and responsiveness to cultural specificity. In this dissertation, I primarily endeavor to push the NPF forward by refining its concepts and testing its transportability by applying it to the policy subsystem of agricultural biotechnology policy in India.

RAVICHANDRAN2 1,2Assistant professor in commerce, Rajeswari Vedhachalam Govt Arts College, Chengalpattu. Abstract: India's biotechnology industry has been developing towards new statures related to the recent economic outburst. The nation can possibly reform bio drug and medical services areas. The Indian Biotechnology Industry is one of the fastest growing industries in India. Data has to be collected from multiple sources of evidence to understand the importance and overview of the biotechnology industry, in addition to books, journals, various websites, and newspapers. This article presents a brief overview of the current biotechnology industry in India, Global Biotechnology Market Size, and Regional Segment Analysis of the Biotechnology Market, Current Scenario in Biotechnology industry in India and marketing challenges. Keywords: Biotechnology, BIRAC, Bio-Agri, Bio-industrial, Bioinformatics, Bio-pharma, Bio- services. Introduction: India is among the first countries to set up a specialized agency i.e. department of biotechnology under the Ministry of Science and Technology for the development of research and human resources in the biotechnology sector in 1986.1The biotechnology sector of India is highly innovative and is on a strong growth trajectory. The sector, with its immense growth potential, will continue to play a significant role as an innovative manufacturing hub. The sector is one of the most significant sectors in enhancing India's global profile as well as contributing to the growth of the economy.2And Biotechnology has vast potential to grow in India. Indian biotech sector stands 3rd in the Asia pacific region in terms of number of companies, about 40% of these are in the Biopharma segment and the rest are in Agri Biotech, Bioinformatics, industrial Biotechnology and Bioservices.

Apart from being most valuable natural habitat for number of flora and fauna, these lakes and Water bodies are the life line for number of communities of our state. No systematic scientific study for monitoring and planning of these lakes and water bodies was carried out and more than 90%of our lakes and water bodies are till date neglected altogether. The department realized the need of creating the first hand information long back in 1998 and prepared the Directory of lakes and water bodies using Survey of India Topographical Maps on 1:50,000.With the advent of satellite technology the study of these lakes and water bodies has become easier and the task of creating of information pertaining to these lakes and water bodies using latest high resolution data along with Survey of India Topographical Maps and other secondary information available with limited field checks/ground truthing has been carried out to provide latest information regarding the status of these lakes and water bodies.
