NV ANNUAL REPORT 2010-2011 ACTIVITY, ACHIEVEMENTS, OUTPUT, OUTCOME Name of Partner SWECHHA Name of Project INFLUENCE NV ANNUAL REPORT 2010-2011 Name of partner SWECHHA Name of project INFLUENCE INTRODUCTION Swechha with support from VSO India, has launched INFLUENCE - a youth programme on environmental leadership, active citizenship and volunteering that aims to build a new cadre of youth leaders, who will work to create a socially just and environmentally sustainable future. Influence not only creates opportunities for young people to observe and be concerned about issues, but also encourages them to get involved in direct action. It is a comprehensive program that builds the capacity of young people to contribute as active global citizens. The program aims to consolidate the energies of youth of the country and to inculcate in them a culture of Volunteering. Influence engages young people in an attitudinal, structural, and cultural process whereby they gain the ability, authority, and agency to make decisions and implement change in their own lives and the development process of the society. The program has successfully completed a year i.e. April 2010 – March 2011. Here‟s a detailed overview of its various components and goals accomplished along with case studies and a quantitative as well as qualitative analysis. ACTIVITY, ACHIEVEMENTS, OUTPUT, OUTCOME I. MOBILIZATION AND AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS Initial Groundwork: - A short film about the Influence program was developed along with a formal presentation - The following communication material and collaterals were also created: Influence Poster, Formal letters to colleges and organizations, Organization Requisition form, Volunteer Registration Form, Online Registration, Ethical Code of Conduct and Terms of Reference - Outstation organizations visited: Foundation for Ecological Security (Gujarat), Narmada Bachao Aandolan (Madhya Pradesh), Jaagori Grameen (Himachal Pradesh) and Aman Biradri (Gujarat) Highlights: - Influence presentations were made as per the opportunities available for prospective volunteers and the current stage of execution. Hence separate presentations were made for Volunteering in and outside Delhi, City Level Campaigns, Group exposures and Influence Fellowships. The idea was to keep the student community excited and updated throughout the year. - The presentations served the dual purpose of volunteer mobilization and youth training. The participants of the workshops got an opportunity to learn more about developmental issues through films, interactive discussions and activities. - The workshops helped in establishing Influence as a practical, professional and relevant youth volunteering avenue available to students. - Influence workshops and volunteer mobilization drives were conducted in the following colleges/universities: Miranda IP College for Women Kamla Nehru College Khalsa College St. Stephens Deen Dayal Upadhyay Aurbindo College Jamia Kirori Mal College Delhi College of Arts Laxmi Bai College Amity Univ. Hansraj Delhi College of Economics Rajdhani College IIT – D Jesus and Mary College Delhi College of Engineering Gargi College JNU Lady Shri Ram College Shri Ram College of Commerce Maitrey College IIMC Bharti College Venkateshwara Ramjas Hindu College Daulat Ram College Influence was publicized in more than 30 educational institutions across Delhi Influence presentation and sign-ups at Kamla Nehru college The mobilization drives in colleges throughout the year enabled us to create a huge database with contact details of youth who have shown any interest in an initiative purely centered on youth volunteering and active citizenship. This database consists of more than 2000 youth from across Delhi.

PARTNERSHIPS WITH ORGANIZATIONS Influence envisions creating a nationwide volunteering platform for young people. The program aims at impacting the process of Environmental sustainability and Social Development through consolidating the energies of youth of the country and inculcating in them a culture of volunteering and active citizenship. In order to realize this vision of Influence, we successfully collaborated with NGOs, Self Help Groups, Social Enterprises, Community based Organizations and People‟s Movements. These partnerships were finalized on the basis of profiles of the organizations, criteria for youth volunteering, skills required, possible volunteering assignments and locations. Influence has successfully partnered with 30 Delhi based and 8 outstation organizations. Here‟s a typical organization profile in the Influence database that is shared with volunteers: Chintan http://www.chintan-india.org/ Profile Vision - Inclusive, sustainable, equitable growth for all.

  • Yamuna Does Not Belong to Haryana... We’Re Working on Contingencies’ ­ the Hindu
    2/29/2016 ‘Yamuna does not belong to Haryana... we’re working on contingencies’ ­ The Hindu CITIES » DELHI Published: February 29, 2016 00:00 IST | Updated: February 29, 2016 05:34 IST ​ February 29, 2016 ‘Yamuna does not belong to Haryana... we’re working on contingencies’ We are looking at interlinking our water treatment plants, says DJB chief Kapil Mishra.Photo: Sushil Kumar Verma Delhi Jal Board chairperson Kapil Mishra speaks to Damini Nath about some initiatives that the Delhi government is considering in case the Capital faces a water crisis again. You've said earlier that Delhi depends on the Yamuna for water, not Haryana. But, the recent agitation in Haryana hit Delhi's water supply. Doesn't this show the dependence on Haryana? The river does not belong to Haryana. The river is for all of us. And Haryana too gets water from Punjab. The water that Delhi gets from Haryana is as per certain guidelines, treaties and even a Supreme Court order. Haryana is bound by the guidelines to share water with Delhi. Given how the Jat protests led to a shutdown of seven DJB plants, are you planning on any emergency measures in the future so the crisis is not repeated? We cannot replace the river. Delhi is the Capital of the country because the Yamuna flows through it. We need the Yamuna, but we should also have a week to 10 days’ worth of water supply of our own in case of emergencies. The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) is working on a plan that will be ready soon.

  • Bird Species in Delhi-“Birdwatching” Tourism
    Conference Proceedings: 2 nd International Scientific Conference ITEMA 2018 BIRD SPECIES IN DELHI-“BIRDWATCHING” TOURISM Zeba Zarin Ansari 63 Ajay Kumar 64 Anton Vorina 65 https://doi.org/10.31410/itema.2018.161 Abstract : A great poet William Wordsworth once wrote in his poem “The world is too much with us” that we do not have time to relax in woods and to see birds chirping on trees. According to him we are becoming more materialistic and forgetting the real beauty of nature. Birds are counted one of beauties of nature and indeed they are smile giver to human being. When we get tired or bored of something we seek relax to a tranquil place to overcome the tiredness. Different birds come every morning to make our day fresh. But due to drainage system, over population, cutting down of trees and many other disturbances in the metro city like Delhi, lots of species of birds are disappearing rapidly. Thus a conservation and management system need to be required to stop migration and disappearance of birds. With the government initiative and with the help of concerned NGOs and other departments we need to settle to the construction of skyscrapers. As we know bird watching tourism is increasing rapidly in the market, to make this tourism as the fastest outdoor activity in Delhi, the place will have to focus on the conservation and protection of the wetlands and forests, management of groundwater table to make a healthy ecosystem, peaceful habitats and pollution-free environment for birds. Delhi will also have to concentrate on what birdwatchers require, including their safety, infrastructure, accessibility, quality of birdlife and proper guides.

Though wetlands comprise of only 4% of the total earth’s surface, these are the most productive ecosystems and provide a wide range of ecological services like recharging of ground water, food, raw materials, habitat for wildlife, recreational values, etc. But these fragile ecosystems are under tremendous stress due to different anthropogenic activities like developmental activities, unplanned urbanization, pollution and growth of population, particularly in metropolitan cities like Delhi. As a consequence, there has been a decline in the hydrological, economic and ecological functions provided by the wetlands. This paper concentrates on the important wetlands of Delhi and gives an account on its importance and the continuous threats they are exposed to. It also discusses the management and restoration techniques that can be deployed to retrieve these dying entities. Key words: Wetlands; fragile ecosystem; ecological services; threats; management and restoration 1) INTRODUCTION functions such as recharging ground water, attenuating Wetlands are defined as the transitional ecosystems floods, purifying water, recycling nutrients and also between the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Introduction 2. Delhi Urban Ecotourism Bus Tours 3. Bird Walks 4. Interactive Public Talks 5. Workshops and Other Events http://delhigreens.org | http://delhigreens.com | http://48c.org 3 1. Introduction The 48°C Public.Art.Ecology Festival was celebrated in Delhi, the political capital of the world’s largest democracy, in the month of December 2008. Themed, as the name suggests, on global warming and the consequent escalating temperatures leading to climate change and its impact on mega cities – the festival was an experiment aimed at interrogating the teetering ecology of the city through the prism of contemporary art. Themed also on public art, the festival was an art intervention in the daily lives and working of the citizens of a city that not many come to consider their own. Celebrated from 12th to 21st December, 2008 – urban Delhi was painted pink during the ten days of the festival. And people – from the rickshaw pullers to the Metro riders, the pedestrians and the passengers, artists and eminent personalities, the passerby and the curious onlookers – were all amazed, surprised, shocked, confused, excited and most importantly: inquisitive. Commissioned by the Goethe Institut/ Max Mueller Bhavan and GTZ and supported by Delhi Government, the 48°C Public.Art.Ecology Festival, a first of its kind Public Eco-Art festival in Delhi, left a lasting impression on a lot of citizens who – knowingly or unknowingly became a part of it: an initiative to raise alarm on the real and now visible threats of a changing climate.
