(Signature) Acknowledgments The completion of this thesis was not a realistic possibility even six months before the submission. That it has been successful in seeing the light of the day is wholly due to my supervisors: Brett Neilson and Ned Rossiter. They held my hand gently but firmly helping me cross the finishing line and they did it with much care and concern. I thank Greg Noble—HDR Director when I began my candidature. He helped me navigate the process of applying for leaves and extensions due to my health problems. He did it with compassion and humor all his own. I thank Ranabir Samaddar who is solely responsible for giving me a chance to pursue an academic career. His influence goes well beyond the academic realm. Paula Banerjee provided a space at Calcutta Research Group where I could pursue writing of this thesis at a very difficult time. Thanks to Pushpendra at TISS Patna for his generosity and kindness.

Giulia dal Maso for her comradeship and irreverent outlook towards just about everything. There have been friends who have helped me through the most difficult periods of my life: Alex Coleman, Andrea Pollio, Cecilia Cmielewski, Christiane Kühling, Helen Barcham, Jack Parkin, Luigi Di Martino, Matt Nunney, Oznur Sahin, Sean Shepherd, and Sebastian Valdez. Avirup Ghosh for his intellect, warmth, and fine taste. Praveen Bishnoi and Daksh Sharma are friends for life. This thesis was not possible without their support and would certainly not have been as much fun. I want to thank Alok Sarin, Shilpi Banerjee, and Cristina Pastore, counsellor at Student Welfare Service, Western Sydney University, and Parramatta Mental Health Community Centre. They were responsible for keeping me functioning and out of harm’s way. Finally, I dedicate this work, warts and all, to Tsvetelina Hristova who for reasons unknown thinks I am lovable.

This thesis studies labor, production sites, and urban spaces in the vicinity of Delhi airport at two levels. At one level, I study workers and labor processes within the terminal buildings. I also study labor in multiple sites that lie beyond the airport but exist in close relation to it both geographically as well as in terms of their production functions. These sites include a workshop located in the town of Kapashera on the border between Delhi and the state of Haryana, an urban village called Mehram Nagar that provides taxi services to the airport, and Nangal Dewat, a village displaced as a result of the airport’s expansion. My aim is to demonstrate how the production of goods and services in these sites is integral to the functioning of the airport. The thesis approaches Delhi airport as a central research object, through which it analyzes labor processes, informal settlements and urban villages, and modes of formal and informal governance. In this sense, I understand the airport as an infrastructural facility that produces relations between labor, capital, and government. Conceptually, the thesis operates at the interface of infrastructure studies, political economy, and theories of government and political subjectivity. I ask how spatial and temporal relations between the workings of Delhi airport and production sites in surrounding areas give rise to different forms of labor. My empirical investigations show how the transformation of informal settlements and urban villages in the airport’s vicinity conditions their role as a source of labor supply for the airport and associated industries. I also demonstrate that this transformation produces political subjects with contentious relationships to government and airport authorities. Because the airport’s operations generate profound changes in production relations, the governance of proximate spaces and labor sites is central to its functioning. I study the governing authority of the airport, Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), in its relation iv to labor and urban spaces over which it exerts influence in matters such as eviction, the control of parking spaces and roads, and the fate of urban villages. The findings of the thesis are based on a combination of archival research, interviews, and observations. Archival documents include colonial records, records from India’s planning period, and contemporary government documents in the public domain. Court judgments, newspaper reports, and press releases also form part of the archive. The workers that I study include employees of a workshop that makes baggage trolleys, women who clean the airport’s interiors, and taxi drivers who rely

Political Parties and Populist Policies in Contemporary India: Some Reflections on AAP by Sumona DasGupta 15-29 Political Parties and Populist Policies in Contemporary India: Some Reflections on AAP ∗ Sumona DasGupta Introduction There is little definitional clarity around the term populism. Though the use of this term has proliferated in the last decade, in common parlance there appears to be a pejorative even alarmist connotation associated with it because of its association with authoritarian leaders and policies that exploit the fears and anxieties of the masses for short term gains. A more nuanced view of populism however situates it in the context of the disillusionment of working classes with the crisis of what Nancy Fraser calls modern hegemonic, globalized, financialized forms of capitalism. Some have even viewed it as a counter concept to neoliberal politics which remains committed to free movement of capital and deregulated finance despite bringing in some mitigating politics of recognition (Frazer 2018). Regardless of the light in which populism is viewed there are mixed views on how it is connected with democracy and democratic institutions. In this paper we move away from a value laden connotation of populism as an ideology and stay with an understanding that resonates the most easily with an Indian context - namely any policy, strategy, and movement that is redistributive in nature and as such favours the common person particularly those in subordinate positions, over the elite typically represented by large business and financial interests.

  • Department of Atomic Energy
    DEPARTMENT OF ATOMIC ENERGY The vision of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) is to empower India through application of nuclear science and technology, and to provide better quality of life to its citizens. During the period from May, 2014 till December 31, 2014, the programmes of the Department achieved impressive growth in various segments and domains. These are described below. In Nuclear Power generation,Unit 1 of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project-1 (KKNPP-1) of 1000 MWe commenced commercial operation on December 31, 2014. With this, the total number of operating power reactors is 20 with an installed capacity of 5680MWe. The second Unit, KKNPP – 2 is also in advanced stage of commissioning. During the calendar year 2014 the highest ever generation of 37146 MUs was recorded which is 10% higher than last year's generation. The Rajasthan Atomic Power Station (RAPS)-5 recorded a continuous run of 765 days which is the best in Asia and the second best in the world. Consent of the Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB) was obtained in October 2014 to establish the Gorakhpur AnuVidyutPariyojanaHarayana (GHAVP) Units-1&2 (2x700 MWe PHWRs). In the area of uranium exploration, over 16,535 tonnes of additional Uranium Oxide (U3O8) reserves have been established in Andhra Pradesh, Meghalaya and Jharkhand during the year thus taking the country's uranium resources to over 2, 14,158 tonnes of U3O8. The Tummalapalle uranium project is readying for commissioning in 2015-16. The mine has achieved the desired ore production capacity and adequate ore has been stockpiled.

  • Economic Overview of Delhi Sectoral Composition and Contribution the Analysis of Sectoral Growth in GSDP of Delhi at Constant Pr
    Economic Overview of Delhi Sectoral Composition and Contribution The analysis of sectoral growth in GSDP of Delhi at constant prices reveals that the contribution of primary sector comprising of agriculture, livestock, forestry, fishing, mining & quarrying and also the secondary sector comprising of manufacturing, electricity, gas, water supply and construction is decreasing. At the same time, the tertiary sector, also called the service sector comprising of trade, hotels and restaurants, transport, storage, communication, financing & insurance, real estate, business services, public administration, is a major contributor in the economy of Delhi and getting enhanced regularly. The contribution of primary sector which was 3.85% during 1993-94 has come down to 0.97% in 2004-05 at 1993-94 constant prices. Similarly the contribution of secondary sector recorded at 25.20% in 1993-94, has also declined to 19.92% in 2004-05. On the other hand, the contribution of tertiary sector worked out to 70.95% in 1993-94 has enhanced to 79.11% in 2004-05. The reasons for change in the sectoral composition of Delhi economy could be attributed to the rapid urbanisation and consequential reduction in agricultural and allied activities on one hand and substantial increase in activities pertaining to the services sector on the other. At the same time, regular monitoring of environmental degradation by different government agencies on the directives of Supreme Court and subsequent closing of polluting industrial units in and around Delhi also contributed to the reduction of output in the secondary sector. Delhi's service sector has expanded due in part to the large skilled English-speaking workforce that has attracted many multinational companies.

The Capital City: Discursive Dissonance of Law and Policy 1 2. The Migrant in a Service Village in the City 21 3. Terra Firma of Sovereignty: Land Acquisition and Making of Migrant Labour 37 The Capital City: Discursive Dissonance of Law and Policy ∗ Amit Prakash This paper examines the ideational premises behind the extant policy and legal framework for governing the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi. This focus of analysis attains greater salience with respect to the NCT Delhi on account of its peculiar location in the constitutional scheme wherein it is both a Union Territory and a State leading to powers and functions being fractured across multiple agencies and competencies. Needless to add, such unique constitutional and politico-legal location of the city creates multiple lines of contradiction in which a number of competing interests, actors, institutions and processes interlink to generate ‘a truth’ as basis for public policy. Such an exercise of prioritising a particular balance between competing demands as ‘truth’ is both embedded as well as generates power to determine the goals, mechanisms and presses of public policy. An analysis of the diverse social landscape of Delhi requires operationalisation of an analytical lens of social justice which must at once involve a discursive understanding of law and policy. Further, discursive analysis of law and policy in Delhi required a focus on three central issues: (a) the conception of a city; (b) the question of poverty/ livelihood; and, (c) the ways in which migrants are constructed in these policy spaces.

    Chapter – 7 : Conservation & Heritage Management IL&FS ECOSMART Chapter – 7 Conservation & Heritage Management CHAPTER - 7 CONSERVATION & HERITAGE MANAGEMENT 7.1 INTRODUCTION Heritage Resource Conservation and Management imperatives for Delhi The distinctive historical pattern of development of Delhi, with sixteen identified capital cities1 located in different parts of the triangular area between the Aravalli ridge and the Yamuna river, has resulted in the distribution of a large number of highly significant heritage resources, mainly dating from the 13th century onwards, as an integral component within the contemporary city environment. (Map-1) In addition, as many of these heritage resources (Ashokan rock edict, two World Heritage Sites, most ASI protected monuments) are closely associated with the ridge, existing water systems, forests and open space networks, they exemplify the traditional link between natural and cultural resources which needs to be enhanced and strengthened in order to improve Delhi’s environment. (Map -2) 7.1.1 Heritage Typologies – Location and Significance These heritage resources continue to be of great significance and relevance to any sustainable development planning vision for Delhi, encompassing a vast range of heritage typologies2, including: 1. Archaeological sites, 2. Fortifications, citadels, different types of palace buildings and administrative complexes, 3. Religious structures and complexes, including Dargah complexes 4.
