  • Hydro Electric Power Dams in Kerala and Environmental Consequences from Socio-Economic Perspectives
    [VOLUME 5 I ISSUE 3 I JULY – SEPT 2018] e ISSN 2348 –1269, Print ISSN 2349-5138 http://ijrar.com/ Cosmos Impact Factor 4.236 Hydro Electric Power Dams in Kerala and Environmental Consequences from Socio-Economic Perspectives. Liji Samuel* & Dr. Prasad A. K.** *Research Scholar, Department of Economics, University of Kerala Kariavattom Campus P.O., Thiruvananthapuram. **Associate Professor, Department of Economics, University of Kerala Kariavattom Campus P.O., Thiruvananthapuram. Received: June 25, 2018 Accepted: August 11, 2018 ABSTRACT Energy has been a key instrument in the development scenario of mankind. Energy resources are obtained from environmental resources, and used in different economic sectors in carrying out various activities. Production of energy directly depletes the environmental resources, and indirectly pollutes the biosphere. In Kerala, electricity is mainly produced from hydelsources. Sometimeshydroelectric dams cause flash flood and landslides. This paper attempts to analyse the social and environmental consequences of hydroelectric dams in Kerala Keywords: dams, hydroelectricity, environment Introduction Electric power industry has grown, since its origin around hundred years ago, into one of the most important sectors of our economy. It provides infrastructure for economic life, and it is a basic and essential overhead capital for economic development. It would be impossible to plan production and marketing process in the industrial or agricultural sectors without the availability of reliable and flexible energy resources in the form of electricity. Indeed, electricity is a universally accepted yardstick to measure the level of economic development of a country. Higher the level of electricity consumption, higher would be the percapitaGDP. In Kerala, electricity production mainly depends upon hydel resources.One of the peculiar aspects of the State is the network of river system originating from the Western Ghats, although majority of them are short rapid ones with low discharges.

    History of Nunawading Cricket Club Nunawading, What’s in a name To get a wider understanding of how the Club started and, in fact, how the BHRDCA started it is worth spending a while discussing the history of the Nunawading and Box Hill districts. There is a strong correlation between the ‘parishes’ of Nunawading, in particular, and Box Hill and the longer serving BHRDCA teams, Nunawading included. Over the next few paragraphs, I will provide a brief history of how Nunawading, formerly Tunstall, came to be and it’s progress from a rural bushland into the busy middle class suburb it has been since the war. The First people of Nunawading When white men first arrived in Victoria, in 1835 the indigenous Aboriginal community was displaced and had to move from traditional grounds, being occupied by Europeans, to displaced locations. When this displacement occurred to the aborigines in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, or perhaps to continue the old, traditional ways, Melbourne’s aborigines, who formed tribes all over the countryside, met in community places and would declare the fundamentals of the unity that existed between them. Following this show of unity more business like matters like common interests and disputes were discussed. One of these meeting places was in Melbourne’s East in a place thought to have been called Numpha-wading by the local aborigines and called Nunawading by the new European settlers, keen to preserve the indigenous names. The popular translation for this word is ‘ceremonial ground’. The boundaries of the native Nunawading were unclear, even to the aborigines and the parish of Nunawading was hilly and heavily timbered and covered a large area.

Operating a Club with such a significant membership profile requires close monitoring of every aspect in order that each member gets the best of service and value at all times. In order to achieve the above objectives, I have committed a considerable amount of time and effort towards the overall improvement of the Club. All this would not have been possible without the whole hearted support of the members. Winter is approaching and the golfing season will gather momentum. The Lodhi and Peacock Courses are being prepared for a major tournament in November 2017. We will ensure that the members are inconvenienced as little as possible while the Tournament is conducted.
