    Report Code: 001_GBP_IIT_GEN_DAT_01_Ver 1_Dec 2010 River Ganga at a Glance: Identification of Issues and Priority Actions for Restoration Report Code: 001_GBP_IIT_GEN_DAT_01_Ver 1_Dec 2010 Preface In exercise of the powers conferred by sub‐sections (1) and (3) of Section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (29 of 1986), the Central Government has constituted National Ganga River Basin Authority (NGRBA) as a planning, financing, monitoring and coordinating authority for strengthening the collective efforts of the Central and State Government for effective abatement of pollution and conservation of the river Ganga. One of the important functions of the NGRBA is to prepare and implement a Ganga River Basin: Environment Management Plan (GRB EMP). A Consortium of 7 Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) has been given the responsibility of preparing Ganga River Basin: Environment Management Plan (GRB EMP) by the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), GOI, New Delhi. Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) has been signed between 7 IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee) and MoEF for this purpose on July 6, 2010. This report is one of the many reports prepared by IITs to describe the strategy, information, methodology, analysis and suggestions and recommendations in developing Ganga River Basin: Environment Management Plan (GRB EMP). The overall Frame Work for documentation of GRB EMP and Indexing of Reports is presented on the inside cover page. There are two aspects to the development of GRB EMP. Dedicated people spent hours discussing concerns, issues and potential solutions to problems. This dedication leads to the preparation of reports that hope to articulate the outcome of the dialog in a way that is useful.

  • 'Weather May Improve by Friday'
    6/25/13 'Weather may improve by Friday' 'Weather may improve by Friday' Author: Yatish Yadav Published Date: Jun 25, 2013 8:59 AM Last Updated: Jun 25, 2013 8:59 AM The Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) has deployed Netra UAV for search and rescue in the remote areas of Kedarnath, Bhairav Chatti and Jungle Chatti in Uttarakhand. ITBP DG Ajay Chadha said ITBP personnel combed Bhairon Chetti and confirmed there were no survivors. “We have ordered two more Netra UAVs from the manufacturers and expect to deploy them once the weather is clear,” Chadha said. He said the weather was expected to improve by Friday and in the meantime personnel on the ground are trying to evacuate those stranded through repaired roads. An ITBP team has already repaired the damaged roads from Badrinath to Hanuman Chatti which is now being used for rescue operations. Meanwhile, the total bodies recovered by the National Disaster Response Force and ITBP personnel, who are combing the area, reached 525. The bodies were handed over to the local police for identification and funeral rites. The Forest Department was asked to arrange 50 tonnes of wood and ghee for the funeral rites of victims at Kedarnath site on Tuesday. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna said those who are still stranded are safe and there is no threat to their life. “There are people stranded in Badrinath and Harsil but they are being provided food and water and as soon as the weather is clear, they will be evacuated,” Bahuguna said. Bahuguna also said that approximately 40,000 sq km of area is affected by flashfloods and landslides.

  • VALLEY of FLOWERS Coordinates: 30°44′00″N 79°38′00″E Best Season: 15Th June to 15 September Garhwal Himalaya - Uttarakhand
    VALLEY OF FLOWERS Coordinates: 30°44′00″N 79°38′00″E Best Season: 15th June to 15 September Garhwal Himalaya - Uttarakhand Valley of Flowers National Park is an Indian national park, located at a height in West Himalaya. It is renowned for its meadows of endemic alpine flowers and the variety of flora found there. It is located in Uttarakhand state. This richly diverse area is also home to rare and endangered animals, including the Asiatic black bear, snow leopard, brown bear and blue sheep. The gentle landscape of the Valley of Flowers National Park complements the rugged mountain wilderness of Nanda Devi National Park to the east. Together they encompass a unique transition zone between the mountain ranges of the Zanskar and Great Himalaya. The park stretches over an expanse of 87.50 km². Both parks are encompassed in the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve (223,674 ha) which is further surrounded by a buffer zone (5,148.57 km²).This Reserve is in the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves since 2004. The pristine water of Pushpawati River divides this enchanting valley into two parts. Capture thick dew drops on the vivid flowers, listen to the chirping of birds and enjoy the salubrious air of the Himalayas. While on expedition to Mt. Kamet this Valley was introduced to the world as the Valley of Flowers by Frank S, Smith, a mountaineer, explorer and botanist who camped here for several weeks in the monsoon of 1937.The legend is that Hanuman collected “Sanjeevani” herb from this valley to revive Lakshman.

  • Himachal Pradesh in the Indian Himalaya
    Mountain Livelihoods in Transition: Constraints and Opportunities in Kinnaur, Western Himalaya By Aghaghia Rahimzadeh A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science, Policy and Management in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Louise P. Fortmann, Chair Professor Nancy Lee Peluso Professor Isha Ray Professor Carolyn Finney Spring 2016 Mountain Livelihoods in Transition: Constraints and Opportunities in Kinnaur, Western Himalaya Copyright © 2016 By Aghaghia Rahimzadeh Abstract Mountain Livelihoods in Transition: Constraints and Opportunities in Kinnaur, Western Himalaya by Aghaghia Rahimzadeh Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science, Policy and Management University of California, Berkeley Professor Louise P. Fortmann, Chair This dissertation investigates the transformation of the district of Kinnaur in the state of Himachal Pradesh in the Indian Himalaya. I examine Kinnauri adaptation to political, economic, environmental, and social events of the last seven decades, including state intervention, market integration, and climate change. Broadly, I examine drivers of change in Kinnaur, and the implications of these changes on social, cultural, political, and environmental dynamics of the district. Based on findings from 11 months of ethnographic field work, I argue that Kinnaur’s transformation and current economic prosperity have been chiefly induced by outside forces, creating a temporary landscape of opportunity. State-led interventions including land reform and a push to supplement subsistence agriculture with commercial horticulture initiated a significant agrarian transition beginning with India’s Independence. I provide detailed examination of the Nautor Land Rules of 1968 and the 1972 Himachel Pradesh Ceiling of Land Holding Act, and their repercussion on land allocation to landless Kinnauris.

    Geographia Technica, Vol. 13, Issue 2, 2018, pp 62 to 73 THE INDIAN HIMALAYA`S UNIQUE ATTRIBUTES: HEMKUND SAHIB AND THE VALLEY OF FLOWERS Shiv Kumar GUPTA1, Radu NEGRU2, Mihai VODA2 DOI: 10.21163/GT_2018.132.05 ABSTRACT: The Indian Himalayan ranges with towering snowclad peaks and deep valley river rapids present a variety of common geographical features. The high mountain environments gained social values due to the influence of the human ancient cultures. The spiritual dimension of the geographical space generated its unique attributes. This research investigates some of the most intriguing mountain locus which are defined by a cumulus of special characteristics. We identified the uniqueness generating factors using the geomedia techniques. Furthermore, this study analyses the interconnection between Hemkund Sahib and Valley of Flowers Geosystems` different components. Our research findings present the functionality of two selected dynamic Himalayan geosystems in a significant equilibrium state. This result of this paper will contribute to the preservation of Hemkund Sahib and Valley of Flowers’ unique features and future promotion using the new technical Geography advances. Key-words: Himalayas, attributes, Hemkund Sahib, geo-apps, Valley of Flowers. 1. INTRODUCTION The Indian Himalaya’s unique attributes based on the Geosystems grounded theory approach, using the modern technical Geography tools in an attempt to provide innovative solutions for the increasingly visited mountain sites (Voda et al, 2014). This paper has analyzed geographical spaces that are characterized by special features, generated from the interaction between the environmental components and the central element of any geosystem: the human being. The Valley of Flowers National Park lies in the main valleys of Alaknanda and Dhauli Ganga in the Garhwal Himalayas in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand State in India.
