Acknowledgement Lakes and Water bodies are one of the most important natural resources of our State. 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.

These midges are occurring in differ- Diversity; ent kinds of habitats (aquatic, semi-aquatic and terrestrial), in diverse areas Jammu; and localities of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh Himalayan regions. The chi- Kashmir; ronomid midgesare dominant in these regions, incorporating 38 species Ladakh; under 18 genera, followed by cecidomyiids and blepharicerids, having 8 Himalaya. spp. and 5 spp. respectively. Ceratopogonids and Chaoborids, are repre- sented by 2 spp. each, whereas deuterophlebiid,dixid and scatopsid, with 1 sp. each. Apart from these, about 29 genera, covering 42 new species (undescribed by earlier authors) of chironomid midges, prevalent in Tso Moriri lake of Ladakh region, have also been listed. The larvae of aquatic midges are inhabitant of diverse water bodies of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh Himalaya, serving as food for fishes and as valuable bio -indicator of water quality. The database pertaining to different kinds of midges, has been updated in the light of recent systematic and nomenclatural changes.

  • Floods in Jammu & Kashmir
    A SATELLITE BASED RAPID ASSESSMENT ON FLOODS IN JAMMU & KASHMIR – SEPTEMBER, 2014 In Collaboration with National Remote Sensing Centre Dept. of Ecology, Environment and Remote Sensing Indian Space Research Organization, Government of Jammu and Kashmir Hyderabad-37. Bemina, Srinagar-10 A SATELLITE BASED RAPID ASSESSMENT ON FLOODS IN JAMMU & KASHMIR – SEPTEMBER, 2014 Principal Coordinator Suresh Chugh, IFS Principal Investigator Majid Farooq © Copyright No part of this publication/report may be reproduced without the prior permission of the publisher, i.e., Dept. of Ecology, Environment and Remote Sensing Government of Jammu and Kashmir Bemina, Srinagar-10 & National Remote Sensing Centre Indian Space Research Organization, Hyderabad-37. Executive Summary Jammu & Kashmir experienced one of the worst floods in the past 60 years, during first week of September 2014, due to unprecedented and intense rains. The Jhelum River and its tributaries were in spate and caused extensive flooding in the region. The Decision Support Centre (DSC) of NRSC in collaboration with Department of Environment & Remote Sensing, J&K took necessary action on satellite data acquisition and processing and kept a close watch on the flood situation. All possible data from Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites, as well as foreign satellites, covering Kashmir valley were obtained and analyzed. Rapid flood mapping and monitoring was done on almost daily basis and the flood inundation information was prepared. In addition, cumulative flood inundation, flood progression and recession maps were also prepared. Flood inundation simulation study was done using CARTO-DEM for Jhelum River to identify the possible flood affected areas and the same was uploaded on Bhuvan portal.

  • Geographical Personality of Kashmir Valley
    CHAPTER I GEOGRAPHICAL PERSONALITY OF KASHMIR VALLEY “Agar Firdoos Barooy-e-Zameen ast, Hamin astoo Hamin astoo Hamin ast” (If there is paradise on Earth, It is here, It is here, It is here) (Mughal Emperor, Jahangir) 1.1 Introduction Kashmir Valley has rightly been called as the “Paradise on Earth” and “Switzerland of Asia”. Bernier, the first European traveler to enter Kashmir, wrote in 1665 that “In truth, the kingdom surpasses in beauty all that my warmest imagination had anticipated” (Young-husband, 1911)1. Geographically and climatically, Kashmir is the core of mighty Himalayas receiving in abundance its grace in the form of captivating scenic beauty, lush green pastures and lofty glistening snow covered mountain peaks which capture the changing hues of the brilliant sun, in many ways, the enchanting rivers and rivulets and the great lakes of mythological fame. In her valleys grow the rarest of trees and herbs, including the most precious of all flowers - the Zaafran (Saffron). In her forest are found the best pines and deodars. From her orchards come apples, apricots, pears, walnuts and cherries of different kinds. On her green meadows graze the lambs bearing the most exquisite wool. Her Dal lake and her house boats, Gulmarg and her glaciers have made her an international tourist spot. What to talk of her temples, the dream of every devout Hindu - the Holy Amarnath where lakhs of pilgrims trek every year, regardless of inclement weather and a host of other dangers; the Shiva temple, the Khir Bhawani, all with their lofty associations with great masterminds and the impeccable Shaivite philosophy (Sadhu,1984)2.

  • No Peace, Only Pieces – the Sufi Mission in Kashmir!
    No Peace, Only Pieces – The Sufi Mission in Kashmir! Of late, eminent intellectuals, perfumed or otherwise, have been raising a stink about how as a society we should be ashamed of the many things we do. Their infinite wisdom manages to open our eyes (though, more often the third one)! We concur wholeheartedly with them , for, as a society we should be ashamed of naming innocent infants after marauding, mass murderers. But we are not! As a society we should also be ashamed of blindly believing the propaganda that paints Sufis as the great proponents of humanity and upholders of faith and tolerance, for, nothing could be farther from truth. This false narrative has pulled more wool over the gullible masses’ eyes than what has been used for weaving the caps after which they are named! We have debunked few such myths about Sufis in this earlier post . Through this series of posts, we intend to examine the iconoclastic activities of ShamsuddinAraqi(c.1480 CE) , one of the most "peaceful" Sufi missionaries of Kashmir and his role in the destruction of Hindu and Buddhist temples of Kashmir, Ladakh and Gilgit-Baltistan. We shall be highlighting Sufi Araqi’s role in the historical religious transformation of Kashmir from a 100% Hindu to a near 100% Muslim society within a span of 100 years. His role in the slave trade of Hindus shall also be examined through the series. We shall also highlight the unprecedented retaliation of the Hindus of Jammu and Kashmir to these evil Sufis . Information about Araqi comes primarily from Tohafut-Ul-Ahbab, his biography written by his disciple Muhammad Ali Kashmiri.

  • Tehkeek International Your Education, Our Way
    Prospectus (2021) Tehkeek International Your Education, Our way Message from Director We have many times failed to inform about the worst-case scenarios in the past, despite their known possible consequences on our globe and the human society in particular. We are reluctant to discuss the much-needed mitigation policies because they are miscellaneous and therefore huge. Further, the gap between the scientists and civil administration has built a dent in the existent wisdom and the magnificence of science. The gap is further amplified by the non- cooperation between the scientists, administration, civil society, and the ruling class, and therefore the current picture of the world has become vague. We should focus more on human and scientific integration rather than solving problems by limited science. The integration of sciences is the only solution for a healthier globe and therefore social development. I do believe in those who contemplate the majority of the humans as dead or waiting for their turn, who do not carry any purpose for their life.

The research produced by us is not impactful and therefore the demands for solutions are swelling.
