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.

  • Water Equity and Tourism: a Case of Nainital District, Uttarakhand Yamini Yogya
    Water Equity and Tourism: A Case of Nainital District, Uttarakhand Yamini Yogya Introduction This study is based on fieldwork that was carried out in the North Indian state of Uttarakhand over the course of a few years since 2014 under two projects. The first project was the Himalayan, Adaptation, Water and Resilience, where I was involved in the capacity of a research intern. The objective of the working package I was a part of aimed at exploring the impact of climate change on the livelihoods of communities living in the Upper Ganga Basin. The second project, carried out in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand mapped the impact of multiple stressors (both climatic and non- climatic) on mountain farmers in two blocks of the Nainital district. This paper draws from both field experiences and data, but focusses primarily on observations and on- field narratives from Ramgarh and Dhari blocks of Nainital district in Uttarakhand. Urbanization and the increase in tourism infrastructure in the district over the past decade has resulted in a conflict over water access and equity. An increase in tourism operators in the region has led to a change in the social and cultural fabric of the norms that had been in place for decades. The development of tourism infrastructure has put an incredible amount of pressure on an already fragile mountain ecosystem, and necessitates the inequitable sharing of an extremely limited natural resource. At the village level, the local self-government or the Panchayat is tasked with dealing with conflicts that arise from the mis-appropriation of water.

  • Gairsain: Summer Capital of Uttarakhand
    Gairsain: Summer Capital of Uttarakhand drishtiias.com/printpdf/gairsain-summer-capital-of-uttarakhand Why in News Recently, the Uttarakhand Government named Gairsain as the new summer capital of the state. A summer capital is a city used as an administrative capital during extended periods of particularly hot weather. Key Points Uttarakhand (earlier known as Uttranchal) was carved out as a separate state from Uttar Pradesh in 1998. Those who spearheaded the movement for statehood to Uttarakhand wanted Gairsain to be made its permanent capital. However, Dehradun has been the temporary capital of the state since it attained statehood and still houses the chief minister’s residence, Raj Bhavan and MLA residences. The state Assembly is located in Dehradun but sessions are held in Gairsain as well. Statehood activists had long contended that Gairsain, a tehsil in Chamoli district, was best suited to be the capital of the mountainous state as it was a hilly region falling on the border of Kumaon and Garhwal regions. It covers a large area suitable for the construction of the capital and accommodating people. It is emerging as a tourist place and it is also a part of the major route connecting Garhwal with the Kumaon region. It is the site of the source of the Ramganga River which rises near the Dudhatoli Parvat. The famous tourist attractions are the Nanda Devi and Valley of Flowers National Parks (UNESCO World Heritage Site), Badrinath, Vasundhara Falls etc. With the fresh announcement, there is no clarity whether Dehradun’s current status will remain the same or it will be considered the new winter capital.
