Last year it received 2,565 cases. The year before that 1,489. And this year in six months 1,238 cases have been sent to it. There is also a noticeable diversity in the cases. In recent times, the mediation centre has been handling labour disputes and wrangles over elec - tricity bills when earlier it mainly got divorce cases and property matters. Significantly, the number of pre-litigation cases has been going up. What this means is that aware - ness of mediation has been spreading and people find it cheaper and quicker to come to agreements through mediation. Mediation is not a substitute for litigation. But by bringing litigants face to face it helps them dis - cover solutions for themselves and saves the time of the courts. Sometimes long-drawn court bat - tles end quickly in the atmosphere of a mediation room. Samadhan’s reputation as a mediation centre has been built over six years through team work among lawyers. It is the only mediation centre in India that is run by lawyers though it is attached to the High Court and a supervising committee includes four sitting judges.

    Version 2.0 Krishna Basin Preface Optimal management of water resources is the necessity of time in the wake of development and growing need of population of India. The National Water Policy of India (2002) recognizes that development and management of water resources need to be governed by national perspectives in order to develop and conserve the scarce water resources in an integrated and environmentally sound basis. The policy emphasizes the need for effective management of water resources by intensifying research efforts in use of remote sensing technology and developing an information system. In this reference a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on December 3, 2008 between the Central Water Commission (CWC) and National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to execute the project “Generation of Database and Implementation of Web enabled Water resources Information System in the Country” short named as India-WRIS WebGIS. India-WRIS WebGIS has been developed and is in public domain since December 2010 (www.india- wris.nrsc.gov.in). It provides a ‘Single Window solution’ for all water resources data and information in a standardized national GIS framework and allow users to search, access, visualize, understand and analyze comprehensive and contextual water resources data and information for planning, development and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). Basin is recognized as the ideal and practical unit of water resources management because it allows the holistic understanding of upstream-downstream hydrological interactions and solutions for management for all competing sectors of water demand. The practice of basin planning has developed due to the changing demands on river systems and the changing conditions of rivers by human interventions.

  • Seasons of India
    SEASONS OF INDIA DR. UPMA CHATURVEDI The India Meteorological Department (IMD) designates four climatological seasons: ✓Winter, occurring from December to February. ... ✓Summer or pre-monsoon season, lasting from March to May. ... ✓Monsoon or rainy season, lasting from June to September. ... ✓Post-monsoon or autumn season, lasting from October to November. Seasons remind us that change is the law of nature and a sign of progress. In India, there are mainly six seasons as per the ancient Hindu calendar (the Lunisolar Hindu). The twelve months in a year are divided into six seasons of two-month duration each. These seasons include Vasant Ritu (Spring), Grishma Ritu (Summer), Varsha Ritu (Monsoon), Sharad Ritu (Autumn), Hemant Ritu (Pre-Winter) and Shishir Ritu (Winter). However, as per the India Meteorological Department (IMD), there are four seasons in India like other parts of the world. 1) Spring Season (Vasant Ritu) • The spring season in India is a season of two-month duration which are March and April. In the Hindu calendar, this season occurs in the months of Chaitra and Baisakh respectively. • It is a pleasant and beautiful season with an average temperature of 32 degree centigrade. It starts after the winter and lasts till summer starts. The day becomes longer and nights become shorter in this season. The people come out of the blankets and woolen clothes and start wearing light clothes. They are filled with excitement and happiness. The tree shed their leaves, new leaves start appearing. Birds and animals also love this season and are happy in this season. Birds start chirping, singing and butterflies start hovering over the flowers.
