The ESSO is operates as an executive arm to implement policies and also responsible for development of technology towards programmes of the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES). the exploration and exploitation of marine resources in It deals with four branches of earth sciences, viz., (i) a sustainable way. Ocean Science & Technology (ii) Atmospheric and Climate Science and (iii) Geoscience and (iv) Polar The ESSO contribute to various sectors, viz., Science and Cryosphere. The ESSO has been addressing agriculture, aviation, shipping, sports, etc, monsoon, holistically various aspects relating to earth processes disasters (cyclone, earthquake, tsunami, sea level for understanding the variability of earth system and for rise), living and non-living resources (fishery advisory, improving forecast of the weather, climate and hazards. poly-metallic nodules, gas hydrates, freshwater, etc), The ESSO was established in October, 2007 as a virtual coastal and marine ecosystems and climate change, organization, subsequent to the setting up of the MoES, underwater technology. Secondly, MOES is also which was formed in 2006 by bringing all the agencies responsible for defining and deploying satellite-based, of meteorological and ocean development activities airborne and in-situ atmospheric, ocean and lithosphere under one umbrella, recognizing the importance of observing systems which act as backbone for achieving strong coupling among various components of the earth, the objectives. These policies/programmes are being viz. atmosphere, oceans, cryo-sphere and geo-sphere. pursued through its centres, viz., autonomous bodies and subordinate offices. The institutions (Fig.1.1), viz.

It is a cluttered words now for many of us. It definitely requires lucid explanation for the common people, especially to the youth who are the future bastion of this planet. Several reports (national and international) has proved that Climate change is the largest issue that the world at large is facing which in fact will negatively affect all the other developmental indicators. But these warnings appear to be falling on deaf ears of many nations and states, with governments who seek to maintain short term economic growth rather than invest in the long term. It is now falling to local governments, non-profit organisations, companies, institutions, think tanks, thought leadership groups and youth leaders to push the agenda forward, from a region levels right down to local communities and groups.

Ramanujam Indian Coconut Journal 3 July 2020 C Article Message from the Chairperson’s desk Dear Readers, As you are aware, India is the top producer of coconut in the world and the coconut production in the country is to the tune of 21308 million nuts as per the second estimate for 2019-20 released by the Ministry, an incremental increase over the previous year. This increase has happened in spite of the impact of the major cyclones like Gaja, Titli etc which caused damage to the plantations in the east coast. The export of coconut products from the country (except coir and coir products) during 2019-20 is Rs. 1762.17 crores with activated carbon being the major coconut product exported. Though the prices have fallen below the Minimum Support Price announced by Government of India in major coconut producing areas, State Governments have already approached the Ministry to initiate copra procurement under MSP which will be a great relief to the coconut farmers.

    Maharashtra State Disaster Management Plan Any feedback may send at [email protected] Draft Copy Disaster Management Unit Relief and Rehabilitation Department Government of Maharashtra 0 Part –I General information of the State Vulnerabilty Assessment and Risk Analysis Preventive and Mitigation Measures Response Mechanism Partnership with Other Stakeholders Recovery Plan Financial Arrangement 1 Chapter -1 Introduction 1.1 Background India is prone to a large number of natural as well as man-made disasters. 58.6 per cent of the landmass is prone to earthquakes of moderate to very high intensity; over 40 million hectares (12 per cent of land) is prone to floods and river erosion; of the 7,516 km long coastline, close to 5,700 km is prone to cyclones and tsunamis; 68 per cent of the cultivable area is vulnerable to drought and hilly areas are at risk from landslides and avalanches. Vulnerability to disasters/ emergencies of Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) origin also exists. Heightened vulnerabilities to disaster risks can be related to expanding population, terrorism, urbanization and industrialization, development within high-risk zones, environmental degradation and climate change to ensuring clarity about roles and responsibilities of the State, District and local authorities. Disasters disrupt progress and destroy the hard-earned fruits of painstaking developmental efforts in quest for progress. Maharashtra State has a profile of varied hazards and was first in India to start a Disaster Management Unit (DMU) after the Latur earthquake. Since 1993, Disaster Management (DM) in Maharashtra is fast evolving from a reactive response oriented to proactive strategy based system.
