The near utilization of surface water resources has made the public and Government to look towards groundwater resources to supplement the water supply. The ever- increasing demand has resulted in the greater dependence on groundwater and consequently resulting in depletion of groundwater resources in many parts of the country. In the era of climate change, groundwater may act as a buffering resource in the time of drought and it needs to be managed more intensively to enhance its sustainability. The change in groundwater extraction and rainfall pattern necessitate periodic revision of groundwater resources assessment. The report 'National Compilation on Dynamic Groundwater Resources of India, 2017' is a compilation of State-wise assessment carried out jointly by CGWB and State Groundwater Departments at periodical intervals under the supervision of State level Committee of the respective States/UTs and under overall guidance of Central Level Expert Group. The groundwater resources of India are assessed following Groundwater Estimation Methodology, 2015, which takes care of all the relevant parameters contributing to the net annual ground water recharge and extractions for various uses.

  • 1 Transnational Hindutva Networks in United States 1 Over the Last
    Transnational Hindutva Networks in United States 1 Over the last several decades, a transnational network of American groups affiliated with Hindu nationalist organizations has embedded itself in the Indian diaspora in the United States.2 This network deserves special attention in the context of the recent debate around citizenship laws in India that target religious minority groups, specifically Muslims.3 The National Register of Citizens (NRC) and the Constitution Amendment Act (CAA) and the protest against it cannot be understood in isolation from the growing prominence of the Hindutva ideology in India. Through the ideological lens of Hindutva, India is an aspiring Hindu state, which would include the Buddhists, Jains, and Sikhs as organically deriving from India, but not Muslims, because Islam is characterized as an alien and invading religion. The citizenship laws also assert that all non-Muslims excluded in the nationwide National Register of Citizens (NRC) would re-qualify for citizenship via Constitution Amendment Act (CAA), while the Muslims living in India for generations would not. Instead, the Indian Muslims could be subject to severe punitive consequences including “statelessness, deportation, or prolonged detention”.4 Under such circumstances, and in the context of the riots in North East Delhi that experts have categorized as pogrom against Muslims5, the purpose of this testimony is two fold. First, it argues that it is unlikely that transnational Hindu nationalist network6 based in the United States is immune to Hindutva, the ethnonational exclusionary political philosophy propagated in India by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the India-based Hindu nationalist paramilitary organization founded in 1925.7 Reference to 1 This testimony is written by a scholar of South Asia.
