UNDP Social and Environmental Screening Category: UNDP Gender Marker: Moderate 2 Atlas Project ID/Award ID number: 00101020 Atlas Output ID/Project ID number: 00103730 UNDP-GEF PIMS ID number: 3298 GEF ID number: 9148 Planned start date: April 1, 2017 Planned end date: March 30, 2024 LPAC date: August 17, 2017 Brief project description: Briefly (no more than 200 words) describe the overall development challenge and the expected results of the project. Despite the immense biological, socio-cultural and hydrological values of the Himalayan ecosystems, these natural ecosystems are under severe threat from high dependence of local communities on natural resources, pressures from economic development, selective removal of medicinal and aromatic plants, and the emerging threat of illegal wildlife trade and wildlife crime. To address these threats, the project will adopt a landscape approach to conservation and management, by ensuring that key biodiversity areas, buffer zones, corridors and areas outside traditional protected areas that are critically important for conservation of endangered snow leopard, wild prey and their associated and threatened species and habitats are managed in tandem with the sustainable use of these resources and improvement and diversification of the livelihoods of a large number of local communities living in this region. The pojets ieetal alue lies in promoting the sustainable management of alpine pastures and forests in the high range Himalayan ecosystems to secure conservation of globally significant wildlife, including endangered snow leopard and their habitats and ensure sustainable livelihoods and community soci-economic benefits in the four high altitude landscapes in the Trans- and Greater Himalayan region (that consists of alpine pastures, sub-alpine forests and critical watersheds). The four inter-related components of the project are aimed at Improved management of high Himalayan landscapes for conservation of snow leopard and other endangered species and their habitats and sustaining ecosystem services, improved and diversified sustainable livelihood for communities to reduce pressure on fragile ecosystems, enhanced enforcement, monitoring and cooperation to reduce wildlife related threats, and improved knowledge and information systems for landscape conservation approaches. These actions are aimed at conserving the snow leopards, wild prey and associated species and habitats contained within these landscapes, maintaining their ecosystem values and ameliorating climate change impacts, enhancing surveillance, monitoring and trans-boundary cooperation to reduce wildlife crime and related threats, and improving knowledge and communications.

  • OU1901 092-099 Feature Cycling Ladakh
    Cycling Ladakh Catching breath on the road to Rangdum monastery PICTURE CREDIT: Stanzin Jigmet/Pixel Challenger Breaking the There's much more to Kate Leeming's pre- Antarctic expeditions than preparation. Her journey in the Indian Himalaya was equally about changing peoples' lives. WORDS Kate Leeming 92 93 Cycling Ladakh A spectacular stream that eventually flows into the Suru River, on the 4,000m plains near Rangdum nergy was draining from my legs. My heart pounded hard and fast, trying to replenish my oxygen deficit. I gulped as much of the rarified air as I could, without great success; at 4,100m, the atmospheric oxygen is at just 11.5 per cent, compared to 20.9 per cent at sea level. As I continued to ascend towards the snow-capped peaks around Sirsir La pass, the temperature plummeted and my body, drenched in a lather of perspiration, Estarted to get cold, further sapping my energy stores. Sirsir La, at 4,828m, is a few metres higher than Europe’s Mont Blanc, and I was just over half way up the continuous 1,670m ascent to get there. This physiological response may have been a reality check, but it was no surprise. The ride to the remote village of Photoksar on the third day of my altitude cycling expedition in the Indian Himalaya had always loomed as an enormous challenge, and I was not yet fully acclimatised. I drew on experience to pace myself: keeping the pedals spinning in a low gear, trying to relax as much as possible and avoiding unnecessary exertion.

  • Census of India 1981
    CENSUS OF INDIA 1981 SERIES-8 JAMMU & KASHMIR Special Paper of 1981 VILLAGE / TOWN WISE POPULATION AND SCHEDULED CASTE POPULATION ABDUL GANI Joint Dil ector of Census Operations Jammu and Kashmir PREFACE This is a special publication presenting the 1981 Census total popu­ lation and scheduled caste population of the State, districts and Tehsils down to village/urban block level to meet the requirement of data users interested in figures of population at village/ward level. This requirement could have been served by the 1981 District Census Handbooks which contain comprehensive basic information about populatIon by sex including literacy and work partici­ pation but the printing and publication of these handbooks which is the respon­ sibility of the State government will take some time. Until these handbooks are published, it is hoped that the present volume will serve a useful purpose to feed the urgent requirement of all data users. The Director of Census Opserations Shri A. H. Khan, under whose guidance the entire census operations were carried out, deserve all cred it for the success of the operations but he had to leave the organisation because of superannuation before this paper could be made ready for the press. I must record my deepest sense of gratitude to Shri V.S. Verma, Registrar General, India and Shri V.P. Pandey, Joint Registrar General, IndIa for their valuable guidance and for having agreed to bring out this specIal paper even in deviation of the approved census publications programme and arrange for its printing on a priority basis through the Printing Divi~ion of the Registrar General's Office under the supervision of Shri Tirath Dass, Joint Director.

One third of the lake is in India while the remaining two thirds lies in Tibet, which is controlled by China. Majority of the streams which fill the lake are located on the Tibetan side. Pangong Tso is about five hours drive from Leh in Ladakh region of Jammu & Kashmir. The route passes through beautiful Ladakh countryside, over Chang La, the third highest motorable mountain pass (5289 m) in the world. The first glimpse of the serene, bright blue waters and rocky lakeshore remains etched in the memory of tourists. There is a narrow ramp- like formation of land running into the lake which is also a favorite with tourists. During winter the lake freezes completely, despite being saline water. The salt water lake does not support vegetation or aquatic life except for some small crustaceans. However, there are lots of water birds. The lake acts as an important breeding ground for a large variety of migratory birds like Brahmani Ducks, are black necked cranes and Seagulls. One can also spot Ladakhi Marmots, the rodent-like creatures which can grow up to the size of a small dog.

Many different factors have caused postponement of publication, including our wish to initiate discussions about the current state and future direction of the IALS and of the newsletter. Hon. Sec. John Bray’s letter on the next page takes up some of these issues. As I am about to embark on a sabbatical year during which I hope to be away from my office for extended periods of time, I believe the time is right to hand over editorial responsibility for Ladakh Studies to someone else.

  • Inner Line Permit
    Inner Line Permit March 12, 2021 In News: The Uttarakhand government sought withdrawal of “inner-line permit” (ILP) system in Niti Valley of Chamoli district and Nelang Valley of Uttarkashi district. Why does the Inner Line permit In Uttarakhand three districts ? In Uttarakhand, tourists have to obtain ILP for locations near China border, at least in the three districts of Uttarkashi, Pithoragarh and Chamoli. Uttarakhand shares a 350-km border with China and a 275- km boundary with Nepal. Chamoli and Uttarkashi share boundaries with China. Pithoragarh is strategically more sensitive as it shares boundaries with both China and Nepal. Uttarakhand selected zone for Inner Line Permit Nelong Valley, Uttarkashi It is approximately 100 km from Uttarkashi headquarters. In Nelong valley, there are two villages-Nelong and Jadong — both of which have been abandoned since the 1962 war when the villagers migrated to Dunda and Uttarkashi tehsils . The China border is about 60-km from the Jadong village. Niti village, Chamoli Located at an altitude of around 3600 metres, Niti village in Joshimath in Chamoli district is the last populated village before China border. Niti village is around 40-km from Raini village where flash floods in Rishi Ganga river . Niti village for adventure of international border that is hardly 40-km from this village. Milam village, Munsiari, Pithoragarh Risk of getting trapped and going missing in snowfalls in that area. In winters this area receives heavy snowfall. Vyas valley, Dharchula, Pithoragarh Pithoragarh is strategically more sensitive as it shares boundaries with both China and Nepal. What is the Inner Line Permit system? ILP is a document that allows an Indian citizen to visit or stay in a state that is protected under the ILP system.
