Sankaran Unni International Water Management IWMI is a Future Harvest Center Institute supported by the CGIAR Research Reports IWMI’s mission is to improve water and land resources management for food, livelihoods and nature. In serving this mission, IWMI concentrates on the integration of policies, technologies and management systems to achieve workable solutions to real problems—practical, relevant results in the field of irrigation and water and land resources. The publications in this series cover a wide range of subjects—from computer modeling to experience with water user associations—and vary in content from directly applicable research to more basic studies, on which applied work ultimately depends. Some research reports are narrowly focused, analytical and detailed empirical studies; others are wide-ranging and synthetic overviews of generic problems. Although most of the reports are published by IWMI staff and their collaborators, we welcome contributions from others. Each report is reviewed internally by IWMI’s own staff and Fellows, and by external reviewers. The reports are published and distributed both in hard copy and electronically (www.iwmi.org) and where possible all data and analyses will be available as separate downloadable files. Reports may be copied freely and cited with due acknowledgment.

    ENVIRONMENT AND FORESTS DEPARTMENT POLICY NOTE DEMAND No. 54 FORESTS 2014-2015 M.S.M. ANANDAN MINISTER FOR FORESTS © GOVERNMENT OF TAMIL NADU 2014 DEMAND No.54 POLICY NOTE 2014-2015 FOREST DEPARTMENT INTRODUCTION "kâÚU« k©Q« kiyÍ« mâãH‰ fhL« cilaJ mu©" - ÂU¡FwŸ (742) "A fort is that which owns fount of waters crystal clear, an open space, a hill, and shade of beauteous forest near." - Thirukkural (742) The ancient Tamil poets have emphasized the importance of dense forests, clean water and fertile soil in providing ecological security to the mankind. Forests are a complex eco-system which play a dual role of a renewable resource and also as a vital support base for safeguarding the overall environment and ecological balance. It is forest cover that has preserved the soil and its heavy humus that has acted as a porous reservoir to 1 retain water and is gradually releasing it in a sustained flow over a period of time. Trees draw water from the earth crust and release it to the atmosphere by process of transpiration as a part of water cycle. Trees also purify the air by releasing oxygen into the atmosphere after consuming carbon-di-oxide during photosynthesis. The survival and well-being of any nation depends on sustainable social and economic progress, which satisfies the needs of the present generation without compromising the interest of future generation. Spiraling population and increasing industrialization have posed a serious challenge to the preservation of our terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Overexploitation of our resources due to rapid population growth has lead to degradation of forests and denudation of agricultural lands.

  • The Hindu'saugust 15, 1947 Issue
    COLLECTOR'S EDITION The Hindu’s August 15, 1947 issue From its birth as a weekly in September 1878, The Hindu became a powerful instrument of the Indian national movement that sought to overthrow British rule. It was hence tting that when freedom dawned, The Hindu welcomed it with characteristic aplomb, deep thought, and skillful penmanship. The Hindu's edition on August 15, 1947, along with a 32-page supplement, was a tribute to the freedom struggle, with articles by some of the greatest names of that age including V.K. Krishna Menon, India’s rst woman legislator Muthulakshmi Reddi, and the great educationist K.M. Munshi. It also carried striking images of the arrival of Independence, and riveting news from that tempestuous time. The Hindu's leading article on the historic day was characteristically pithy and powerful. Titled "Red letter day'', it said: "By the grace of Providence India enters the comity of free nations today, an equal among equals. It is an occasion for rejoicing not only for her people but for all who value human freedom as an end in itself. So long as this country with her hoary civilisation and many-sided culture, her wealth of resources and matchless opulence of spirit remained in political bondage, that very fact constituted an implicit denial of those values to which the dominant nations of the West were wont to pay lip service." Now, we are proud to share with our loyal subscribers, those very pages, articles, and images from which our readers got to know about the advent of freedom on August 15, 1947.
