K. Puram, New Delhi-110066 FOREWORD Salinity is a significant challenge and poses risks to sustainable development of Coastal regions of India. If left unmanaged, salinity has serious implications for water quality, biodiversity, agricultural productivity, supply of water for critical human needs and industry and the longevity of infrastructure. The Coastal Salinity has become a persistent problem due to ingress of the sea water inland. This is the most significant environmental and economical challenge and needs immediate attention. The coastal areas are more susceptible as these are pockets of development in the country. Most of the trade happens in the coastal areas which lead to extensive migration in the coastal areas. This led to the depletion of the coastal fresh water resources. Digging more and more deeper wells has led to the ingress of sea water into the fresh water aquifers turning them saline. The rainfall patterns, water resources, geology/hydro-geology vary from region to region along the coastal belt.

  • C. S. Srinivasachari
    C. S. SRINIVASACHARI DR. S. KRISIINASWAMY (Friends World Institute, Bangalore) C. S. SRINIVASACHARI was born on July 9, 1890, at Chidambaram, South Arcot district, Madras State, in a South Indian Brahmin family which, since the days of the East India Company; had produced "many distinguished lawyers, teachers and public servants." He had his education from the primary to the collegiate level in institutions which were founded and patronised by some non-Brahmin leaders who at this time were seriously disturbed by Brahminical domination of most of the modern professions in the state. His high academic distinction at the graduate examination in 1909 won for him a place on the staff of his alma mater ,the Pachaiayappa's College, Madras, which he retained with distinction for more than two decades. It is not known why he preferred teaching to the more lucrative Indian Civil Service which was highly coveted by many bright young Indians of this period, but the fact that he began to write a thesis for his Master's degree soon after his graduation may indicate that his involvement in the academic world was deliberate and serious, and not accidental. However, during the first decade of his long teaching career, Chari appears to have concentrated on gaining excellence in the art of teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels without attempting to publish even his Master's thesis on the Gingee history which he completed successfully in 1913. It was probably around the year 1923 that he made up his mind to devote a part of his time for research and writing which, in addition to teaching, remained from this time on, his favourite occupations for the rest of his life.

  • Disasters in Tamil Nadu, India: Use of Media to Create Health Epidemic Awareness
    ✐ ✐ ✐ ✐ Disasters in Tamil Nadu, India: Use of Media to Create Health Epidemic Awareness Sunitha Kuppuswamy & Dr. S. Rajarathnam Anna University Chennai, Chennai 600 025, India E-mail: [email protected] NDIA is a country prone to natural disasters. It has only 2.4% of the worlds I surface but an incredible 16.7% of the worlds population (MIB, 2009). The country has greater and increasing vulnerability to the socio-economic impacts of extreme weather events (floods, droughts, cyclones, hail storm, thunderstorm, heat and cold waves), due to large population growth, and mi- gration into urban areas (De et al., 2005). A natural disaster is the consequence of a natural hazard like an earth- quake, landslide, cyclone, flood, or tsunami which affects human activities. Human vulnerability in disasters is increased by poverty and the risk poten- tial for disasters. A lack of planning, preparedness and appropriate emergency management systems can lead to devastating to human, animal, economic, and environmental. The impact of natural disasters has been reduced by increas- ing preparedness for them, and when a disaster occurs, rapidly and effectively assessing the impact of same (BHRC, 2003). Preparedness includes the use of mass media which can be instrumental in promoting target-centric disas- ter preparedness. The need for an effective disaster management strategy to lessen disaster impact is increasingly being felt across India, as well as the awareness to involve and strengthen the preparedness of women and children to respond to disasters. This paper is concerned with disaster preparedness using a media campaign in Tamil Nadu, a south-eastern Indian coastal state vulnerable to many disasters that cause losses year after year.

    XI. REGIONAL ALLOCATION The geographical position of the outlying region necessitates to initiate action at the plan formulation stage to ensure that balanced development takes place in all the four regions. The outlying regions are also well connected through telecommunication system. The entire area of this UT is divided into two districts covering the regions of Puducherry, Mahe and Yanam under the Puducherry district and Karaikal comes under Kariakal district. As part of development administration, Plan funds are allocated regionwise at the time of preparation of the budget document and as a matter of administrative policy funds from outlying regions are not allowed to be diverted to the Puducherry region. The implementation of Plan schemes are regularly monitored by the administrative heads of the respective regions and ensure that funds are fully spent. KARAIKAL REGION Karaikal Region is 135 Kms from Puducherry on the East Coast. It is surrounded by the Nagapattinam District of Tamil Nadu. The Karaikal District has an area of 161 Sq. Kms.
