  • Regimes of Dispossession: Special Economic Zones and the Political Economy of Land in India
    Regimes of Dispossession: Special Economic Zones and the Political Economy of Land in India By Michael James Levien A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Michael Burawoy, Chair Professor Raka Ray Professor Peter Evans Professor Michael Watts Spring 2013 Abstract Regimes of Dispossession: Special Economic Zones and the Political Economy of Land in India by Michael James Levien Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Berkeley Professor Michael Burawoy, Chair The aim of the present work is to advance a theoretical framework for the comparative study of dispossession by explaining how the political economy of land dispossession has transformed from state-led developmentalism to neoliberalism in India. The dissertation compares the archetypical forms of dispossession in each period and argues that they constitute different regimes of dispossession. A regime of dispossession is an institutionalized way of expropriating landed assets from their current owners or users. Each regime of dispossession is distinguished by: 1) a set of purposes for which a state is willing to dispossess land and 2) a way of producing compliance to that dispossession. Under different regimes, dispossession facilitates different kinds of accumulation with variable developmental consequences. These consequences crucially effect the long-term political stability of a regime of dispossession. Between independence in 1947 and economic liberalization in the early 1990s, India operated under a developmentalist regime of dispossession. Under this regime, the Indian state dispossessed land for state-led industrial and infrastructural projects, ensuring compliance through coercion and powerful ideological appeals to national development.

  • Pong Dam Wildlife Sanctuary
    Pong Dam wildlife Sanctuary January 9, 2021 In news Many migratory birds found dead in Pong Dam wildlife sanctuary of Himachal Pradesh What is the cause? Avian influenza (H5N1) has led to the death of around 2,736 migratory birds in Himachal Pradesh, so far, in the sanctuary area in district Kangra of the State. What is Bird flu(H5N1)? H5N1 is a type of influenza virus that causes a highly infectious, severe respiratory disease in birds called avian influenza (or “bird flu”). Human cases of H5N1 avian influenza occur occasionally, but it is difficult to transmit the infection from person to person. When people do become infected, the mortality rate is about 60%. Animal influenza viruses are distinct from human seasonal influenza viruses and do not easily transmit between humans. However, zoonotic influenza viruses – animal influenza viruses that may occasionally infect humans through direct or indirect contact – can cause disease in humans ranging from a mild illness to death. Host: Birds are the natural hosts for avian influenza viruses. About the Pong Dam wildlife sanctuary, Himachal Pradesh Establishment: It was declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1983, and is now also a Ramsar site. Pong Dam Sanctuary is also a national wetland. In 1975, it was created as a result of a dam built across the Beas River It plays host to around 220 species of birds belonging to 54 families. Migratory birds from all over Hindukush Himalayas and also as far as Siberia come here during winter. Forest: The sanctuary area is covered with tropical and subtropical forests, which shelters a great number of Indian Wildlife animals.

  • Comprehensive Catchment Area Treatment Plans
    COMPREHENSIVE CATCHMENT AREA TREATMENT PLANS Himachal Pradesh has a vast potential of hydro power and has identified more than 23000 MW of hydro power potential in the state. Being a clean energy source the Government of HP is making efforts to harness this vast potential. However, the promotion of hydro sector should be environmentally sustainable. To address various environmental issues arising out of construction of hydroelectric projects, Himachal Pradesh Forest Department has formulated Comprehensive Catchment Area Treatment Plans (CCPs) for all the four major river basins viz. Satluj, Ravi, Chenab and Beas in the State. Although, so far, Project specific CAT Plans have been formulated for all the Hydro-electric Projects having more than 10 MW capacity, yet, a river basin being one natural, ecological, watershed unit cannot have fragmented prescriptions. Hence adopting a holistic perspective and integrated approach is desirable. The basin level CAT Plan addresses the need of the total catchment area, in a scenario of unconstrained outlay, to make it stable in so far as the soil and moisture retention is concerned, whereas a project level CAT Plan is focused on the immediate catchment of the project. These Comprehensive and basin wide CAT Plans would emphasis on a holistic and integrated treatment of the catchments giving due recognition to different land usages and optimal utilisation of available resources as also for upliftment of livelihoods and socio-economic status of the basin as a whole. It would prioritize the micro watersheds based on the given set of indicators with erosion intensity and silt production potential having the highest weightage.

  • Transbasin Transfer of River Waters in Punjab for Optimising Benefits
    TRANSBASIN TRANSFER OF RIVER WATERS IN PUNJAB FOR OPTIMISING BENEFITS S.c. Sud! Rakesh Kashyap:Z ABSTRACT To utilise the waters of the rivers Sutiej, Beas and Ravi flowing through Punjab, and which come to the exclusive share ofIndia, as per the Indus Waters Treaty- 1960 between the Governments of India and Pakistan, a number of projects have been planned, constructed or are under construction on these rivers. These projects have helped in gainfully diverting the waters of river Beas in Sutlej and of river Ravi to Beas, in addition to providing multi-purpose benefits. The projects have brought an agricultural and industrial revolution to the states of Punjab, Haryana and the desert areas of Rajasthan and transformed them into granaries of India. The paper briefly describes the various projects and their salient features. The impacts of the projects on the economy, environment, health, tourism and recreation etc. have been highlighted. Since these projects have enabled the diversion of surplus waters of one river to another, studies for integrated operation and management of waters of these rivers have been carried out for deriving optimum benefits. The paper also describes the real time integrated operation techniques, factors necessitating their adoption, and computer models used for integrated operation of the Bhakra Beas system of reservoirs. It is recommended that for effective utilization of the available waters, and implementation ofthe real time integrated operation techniques, an automatic data collection and transmission system be installed. INTRODUCTION India is bestowed with abundant water resources, but their spatial and temporal distribution is quite uneven. About 80010 of the annual runoffin Himalayan rivers and 90010 in Peninsular rivers occurs during the four monsoon months from June to September.
