Its picturesque valleys, woodlands, mountain ranges and salubrious climate provides the right environment for academics. The aim of the school is to impart public school education with a firm moral base and to prepare cadets academically, physically and psychologically for entry into National Defence Academy, Khadakwasala. Ghorakhal is connected by an all weather road with the nearest rail terminus at Kathgodam (32 kms). Ghorakhal was a ‘jagir’ presented by the British rulers to General Wheeler in 1870.In1921, he sold it to the Nawab of Rampur. According to a popular folklore, in 1857 a British General astride his horse was making a desperate bid to escape from Audh for fear of revolutionaries when he happened to stray into this area. His horse got tired, fell into a pond and died, so the place was named as Ghora (Horse) Khal (Pond). Then the Government of UP purchased the Estate from the Nawab of Rampur in 1964 to establish the School. Finally, Sainik School Ghorakhal was opened on 21st March, 1966. Ghorakhal is perched on a hillock, at an altitude of 6000 ft. (amsl) and commands a panoramic view of Bhimtal, Sattal and Naukuchiatal. The famous Golu Devta Temple dedicated to one of the local deities, is situated on a hillock amidst shady oaks. This provides the ideal environment for education. NDA CODE I BELIEVE THAT A CADET MUST BE TRUTHFUL, TRUST WORTHY, HONEST AND FORTHRIGHT UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. I WILL NOT LIE, CHEAT OR STEAL NOR WILL I MISLEAD OR DECEIVE ANYONE. I UNDERTAKE TO LIVE UP TO THIS CODE FAITHFULLY AND TO ENCOURAGE MY COMRADES CONTINUOUSLY TO DO SO.

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.

  • How Do They Add to the Disaster Potential in Uttarakhand?
    South Asia Network on Dams, Rivers and People Uttarakhand: Existing, under construction and proposed Hydropower Projects: How do they add to the disaster potential in Uttarakhand? As Uttarakhand faced unprecedented flood disaster and as the issue of contribution of hydropower projects in this disaster was debated, one question for which there was no clear answer is, how many hydropower projects are there in various river basins of Uttarakhand? How many of them are operating hydropower projects, how many are under construction and how many more are planned? How projects are large (over 25 MW installed capacity), small (1-25 MW) and mini-mirco (less than 1 MW installed capacity) in various basins at various stages. This document tries to give a picture of the status of various hydropower projects in various sub basins in Uttarakhand, giving a break up of projects at various stages. River Basins in Uttarakhand Entire Uttarakhand is Uttarakhand has 98 operating hydropower part of larger Ganga basin. The Ganga River is a projects (all sizes) with combined capacity trans-boundary river of India and Bangladesh. The close to 3600 MW.

    IOSR Journal of Environmental Science, Toxicology and Food Technology (IOSR-JESTFT) e-ISSN: 2319-2402,p- ISSN: 2319-2399.Volume 9, Issue 2 Ver. II (Feb 2015), PP 28-35 www.iosrjournals.org Interlinking of rivers in India: Proposed Sharda-Yamuna Link Anjali Verma and Narendra Kumar Department of Environmental Science, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (A Central University), Lucknow-226025, (U.P.), India. Abstract: Currently, about a billion people around the world are facing major water problems drought and flood. The rainfall in the country is irregularly distributed in space and time causes drought and flood. An approach for effective management of droughts and floods at the national level; the Central Water Commission formulated National Perspective Plan (NPP) in the year, 1980 and developed a plan called “Interlinking of Rivers in India”. The special feature of the National Perspective Plan is to provide proper distribution of water by transferring water from surplus basin to deficit basin. About 30 interlinking of rivers are proposed on 37 Indian rivers under NPP plan. Sharda to Yamuna Link is one of the proposed river inter links. The main concern of the paper is to study the proposed inter-basin water transfer Sharda – Yamuna Link including its size, area and location of the project. The enrouted and command areas of the link canal covers in the States of Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh in India. The purpose of S-Y link canal is to transfer the water from surplus Sharda River to deficit Yamuna River for use of water in drought prone western areas like Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan and Gujarat of the country.

  • IYB-2010 and Countdown 2010 Celebration a Brief Activity Report
    IYB-2010 and Countdown 2010 Celebration A Brief Activity Report By Santosh Kumar Sahoo, Ph.D. Chairman Conservation Himalayas 977/2, Sector 41-A, Chandigarh, U.T.India Tel.: +91 90 23 36 51 04 / +91 17 23 02 73 28 Email: [email protected] The Uttarakhand region of the northwestern Himalayas in India has a rich biodiversity all across its landscapes, particularly in its terai-bhabar region in its southern edge. The wildlife biodiversity in the terai-bhabar belt of Uttarakhand is found in Corbett National Park and the Rajaji National Park as well as all across its landscapes from the Asan barrage conservation reserve at Kalsi in the extreme west up to Sharda river in the extreme east bordering with western Nepal. Poaching, forest fire and wildlife body part trade continue to remain as serious threats to the wildlife in the Uttarakhand region. Illegal poaching of leopards and prey animals occurs in the tiger range areas of Uttarakhand state raising the level of threats to the endangered tiger (Panthera tigri tigris) population in its terai-bhabar tiger range areas. In the recent years, the human population in the fringe villages along the terai-bhabar belt in Uttarakhand shows signs of increase coupled with illiteracy and poverty, and their dependency on the local natural resources in the form of cattle grazing, fuel wood and fodder collection is on the rise. Threats to the tiger population are on rise as some of the recent tiger deaths particularly in the buffer zone areas of the reserve forests in the terai tiger habitats have reportedly been found to have links with poaching and tiger body part trade related activities (tiger skins, bones confiscated in village Fatehpur at Haldwani under the Ramnagar Forest Division.

  • North India & the Himalayan Foothills. 15
    NORTH INDIA & THE HIMALAYAN FOOTHILLS. 15TH JANUARY 2009 – 31ST JANUARY 2009. Participants. Chris Knox, Sam & Alex Taylor, Iain Robson, Janet Fairclough, Andy Mclevy, Tony Crilley, Tony Stewart,Paul Stewart, Les Robson, Tony James. Leader – Leio de Souza of Indianature / Backwoods, plus local guide - Lokesh. http://www.indianaturetours.com/ This trip to North India and the Himalayan foothills was hatched after a visit to Goa in January 2007, so impressed were we by the set up and guiding of the Backwoods camp that we signed up to use their tour company Indianature for this intensive 15 day birding trip. Our visit to North India followed the wettest monsoon period for several years in Rajasthan and as a consequence Bharatpur was full of water and birds, on the flip side, although we had packed clothing for cold weather in the foothills the weather here remained warm and sunny with no sign of snow and as a consequence many wintering species remained at altitude and were difficult to find or missing. As a group we recorded a total of 410+ species which surpassed indianature’s previous best total for this trip of 376. This total included an excellent mix of Indian endemics; subcontinent endemics/near endemics and many sought after eastern Palearctic species, and avian highlights were just too many to mention. The mammal highlight was easy, the hour or so of close views we had of a male Tiger at Ranthambhore NP, followed by another incident at Corbett NP when our open jeeps got between a female Tiger and her cubs which resulted in a warning roar at 40 metres, then a semi charge of the jeeps out of the undergrowth at 15 metres, a close call and a scary moment that will never be forgotten.
