There is growing concern all over the world about quality, standards and recognition of the higher education institutions. There is a need to ascertain and assure quality in the teaching-learning, research and extension, organization and management of Universities and other institutions of higher level of learning. The role of universities is not only providing and promoting access to higher education, but also offering quality education with excellent infrastructure, useful learning resources and student-centric support services. Quality and excellence are the new buzzwords and mantra of higher education institutions today.

  • 1 Economic Evaluation of Kukkarahalli Lake
    1 ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF KUKKARAHALLI LAKE -A NEED FOR CONSERVATION H R UMA Abstract: A wetland is a land that is seasonally or permanently covered by shallow water, as well as land where the water table is close to or at the surface. Putting an economic value on something as abstract as the ecological services of a wetland is a difficult idea for most people. More commonly, the open market puts dollar values on society's goods and services. In the case of wetlands, there is no direct market for services such as clean water, maintenance of biodiversity, and flood control. There is, however, a growing recognition that such natural benefits do have real economic value and that these values need to be included in decision-making processes. This paper is an effort towards valuating Kukkarahalli Lake for the sake of conserving it for Mysoreans as well as for many including Birds who visit Mysore as a tourist spot . INTRODUCTION: According to the definition given by Ramsar convention in 1971 “wetlands are areas of marsh, fen, peat land or water, whether natural or artificial, permanent or temporary, with water that is static or flowing; fresh, brackish, or salty, including areas of marine water the depth of which at low tide does not exceed six meters.'' A lake is a body of water or other liquid of considerable size surrounded entirely by land. A vast majority of lakes on earth are fresh water. Lakes may be natural or manmade. As a resource base, lakes have provided sustenance to millions down the ages; and as a landscape they have spawned cultural links and traditions.

  • Urban Wetland/Water Bodies Management Guidelines a Toolkit for Local Stakeholders
    URBAN WETLAND/WATER BODIES MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES A TOOLKIT FOR LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS January 2021 Volume I SCHOOL OF PLANNING & NATIONAL MISSION FOR CLEAN GANGA ARCHITECTURE, NEW DELHI URBAN WETLAND/WATER BODIES MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES VOLUME I Image Credit: Rajeev Chauhan 2 ty 'kfDr ea=h Hkkjr ljdkj Minister for Jal Shakti Government of India Message The value of wetlands especially in urban settings, is evidenced through our history where water bodies were respected and valued by all communities creating a sense of belonging and ownership towards them. Water bodies within an urban precinct, including smaller ones, form vital ecosystems supporting local livelihoods, with social, economic, ecological and aesthetic benefits. Their value as part of an extensive food chain and biological diversity is immense. For a city, they can provide a wide range of important resources and ecosystem services such as food, water, groundwater recharge, water purification, flood moderation, erosion control, climate regulation and rainfall sinks. They are an important part of our natural wealth and liquid assets. Sustainable urban water body management encapsulates the linkages between functioning of water cycle and river rejuvenation guided by ecosystem approaches. Government of India’s Jal Shakti Abhiyan also recognizes this need and accords high priority to conservation and wise use of wetlands in our country. National Mission for Clean Ganga has made significant inroads by initiating multiple projects and regulatory frameworks to support State Governments for integrated management. Conservation of wetlands would also go a long way in achieving Hon’ble Prime Minister’s dream of vNal Se Jal’ in each household. This toolkit has been envisioned in a strategic step towards increasing the capacity of city urban wetland managers.
