Bodh Gaya is the place where Gautam Buddha attained unsurpassed, supreme Enlightenment. It is a place which should be visited or seen by a person of devotion and which would cause awareness and apprehension of the nature of impermanence. About 250 years after the Enlightenment, the Buddhist Emperor, Ashoka visited the site of pilgrimage and established the Mahabodhi temple. Parasnath Temple The Parasnath Temple is considered to be one of the most important and sanctified holy places of the Jains. According to Jain tradition, no less than 23 out of 24 Tirthankaras (including Parsvanatha) are believed to have attained salvation here.

  • CHALLENGES in EFFICIENT WATER MANAGEMENT in DAMODAR RIVER VALLEY - ROLE of DVC 1 2 Dipankar Chaudhuri ; Satyabrata Banerjee
    CHALLENGES IN EFFICIENT WATER MANAGEMENT IN DAMODAR RIVER VALLEY - ROLE OF DVC 1 2 Dipankar Chaudhuri ; Satyabrata Banerjee Abstract The Damodar River Valley has an extensive history of developmental and planning activities since 1863. DVC was formed in the year 1948 by the act of Parliament to carry out the responsibilities for monitoring and developing this large watershed in an integrated manner. It is well aware that all the projects, planned originally could not be implemented till date by the DVC and the participatory states. Again, silt depositions in the existing reservoirs and channels due to erosions at the upper valley have reduced their respective storage and flowing capacities remarkably. On the other hand, demand of water has been increased many folds within the valley due to growth of industries, population etc. With passing of time, socio- economic and political condition of the valley has also changed a lot. So, considering the different constraints, DVC is trying to manage all its statutory obligations with its limitations. Performances of the operations in the different fields of activities like flood moderation, irrigation, municipal and irrigation water supply, Hydropower etc. have been studied elaborately in this article. Lots of new commendable initiatives to restore the lost-capacities and to increase the storage facilities have also been discussed. A Master Plan of the ecofriendly sustainable developmental activities of the valley in the different projected scenarios has already been prepared by DVC which has also been described in brief. Some scopes have been identified to take up a few new small Hydro schemes at different locations in the upper valley.

OF INDIA, MINISTRY OF STEEL PREFACE It is largely being felt now by Country’s policy makers that manufacturing has to be the backbone of future growth strategy of India over the next decade. Accordingly, the new manufacturing policy aims at increasing manufacturing growth rate to 11-12% by 2016-17 and raising its share in GDP from current 16% to 25% by 2025. The policy envisages creation of National Investment & Manufacturing Zones (NIMZs) equipped with world class infrastructure facilities to promote manufacturing activities in the country. To achieve the manufacturing growth of GDP’s share from 16% to 25% by 2025, there will be substantial increase in steel demand. Some of the NMIZs are being planned in mineral rich states offering excellent potential location for setting up new steel plants. Draft National Steel Policy 2012 targets crude steel capacity of 300 Mt in the country by the middle of the next decade (2025-26). A High Level Committee on Manufacturing (HLCM) in its meeting held on 9th July 2013 which was chaired by the then Hon’ble Prime Minister endorsed the growth strategy targeting National Mission of 300 Mt crude steel output by 2025-26.
