  • FM Holds Inter-Ministerial Meeting on Banning Sugar Futures Sugarcane
    NEWS FLASH –24th August, 2016 SUGAR FM holds inter-ministerial meeting on banning sugar futures Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Monday held an inter-ministerial consultation on imposing ban on sugar futures trading in an effort to curb speculation and check price rise of the sweetener during festival season. MoS for Food C L Chaudhary, secretaries from Food, Consumer Affairs, Agriculture and finance ministries were present in the meeting. The meeting comes in the backdrop of the Food and Consumer Affairs Ministry recommending the regulator Sebi to ban sugar futures trade to check prices. Sugar prices in the retail markets have risen in last few weeks and are ruling at Rs 42 per kg in the national capital. “We discussed about banning sugar futures trading in the meeting called by the FM. It was an initial discussion and nothing was decided,” Chaudhary told Press Trust of India after the meeting. Food Secretary Vrinda Sarup echoed the same and said: “Nothing has been finalised on banning sugar futures.” Sugar is largely traded on leading agri-commodity bourse National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX). The exchange has already raised the margin amount to be deposited by both sellers and buyers on its platform. To check prices, the government recently imposed an export duty of 20 per cent on sugar as part of its efforts to curb outbound shipments and boost domestic supply. India’s sugar production is estimated to decline to 25 million tonnes in the 2015-16 season (October-September) from 28.3 million tonnes in the previous year. The outlook for the next year is not encouraging as sugar production is pegged lower at 23.26 million tonnes.

  • “Runoff Modeling in Ghataprabha Sub Basin for Climate Change Scenario”
    “Runoff Modeling in Ghataprabha Sub basin for Climate Change Scenario” By Nagraj S. Patil , Mr. Nataraj, A. N. B. Gowda, Nagendra VISVESVARAYA TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND LAND MANAGEMENT Centre for P.G. Studies VTU Belagavi Motivation….. Climate change can be sum up to measurable difference in the values of atmospheric variables such as precipitation, temperature, humidity, wind, solar radiation, atmospheric pressure and other meterological variable over a long period of time. Thus, it is important to quantify the impacts of climate change to frame mitigation and adaptation measures. Hydrological modeling of water cycle in areas with extreme events and natural hazards (e.g., flooding, droughts) is imperative for sustainable management of soil and water resources. Understanding water resources availability would help stakeholders and policymakers to plan and develop an area. The distributed hydrological model can also be used for climate change impact on surface runoff and water availability in the basin catchments. The main aim of this study is to predict surface runoff in the Ghataprabha sub basin catchment using hydrological model SWAT. Objectives The main aim of the study is to simulate the runoff over a Ghatapraha sub basin. Following are the specific objectives are to be achieved. • Multi-site calibration and validation of SWAT Model for Ghataprabha sub basin for the monthly discharge. • Downscaling of climate variables (precipitation, temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation and wind speed) for the Ghataptabha sub basin. • To simulate the surface runoff for the Ghataprabha sub basin using downscaled data from 2021- 2100. • Simulate of streamflow at the four discharge gauge (Bagalkot, Gokak falls, Gotur and Daddi) stations.
