Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change
INTRODUCTION The Indian Parliament composed of the Lower House of the People (Lok Sabha) and the Upper House of States (Rajya Sabha). It is the highest legislative body in the country and creates a platform for voicing opinions on important matters of the country. The Members belong to different States/Union Territories or are experts in the fields of scientific, cultural and social issues. In 1984, ENVIS Centre 07 of the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change, Government of India, was established in WWF-India to handle environment-related information i.e parliament and Environment and NGO and Environment. A substantial amount of environment-related information is exchanged in both the Houses of Parliament in response to queries and call attention notices raised by the Members. The Centre has been actively monitoring Parliamentary discussions on environmental issues for more than two and half decade. Such information relates largely to development activities with environmental implications, other relevant programmes, legislation, policies, etc. This information has been compiled and published by the Centre in separate volumes on yearly basis. The report enclosed the compilation of the current Budget Session 2014, a total number of 405 Parliament Questions pertaining to various aspects of environment were answered by the Ministry of Environment and Forests and Climate Change (261 questions in the Lok Sabha, out of which 25 were starred and 261 were un- starred. A total of 144 questions were asked in the Rajya Sabha, out of which 18 were starred and 126 were un-starred). The questions covered a wide range of environmental issues, with which the Ministry is concerned. -

Stone Age Archaeology of Jonk River Basin in Western Odisha and Eastern Chhattisgarh
Stone Age Archaeology of Jonk River Basin in Western Odisha and Eastern Chhattisgarh Tosabanta Padhan1 1. Department of Archaeology, Deccan College Post‐Graduate and Research Institute, Yerawada, Pune 411 006, Maharashtra, India (Email: [email protected]) Received: 08 September 2014; Accepted: 19 October 2014; Revised: 25 November 2014 Heritage: Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies in Archaeology 2 (2014): 405‐420 Abstract: This paper is the outcome of author’s doctoral research project entitled “Prehistoric Archaeology of Jonk River Basin in Odisha and Chhattisgarh”. The thesis (2013) was submitted to Deccan College Post Graduate and Research Institute, Pune. The study was carried out in the Jonk river basin, one of the major tributaries of the upper Mahanadi. Field investigations over five seasons (2007‐ 2012) in Jonk River have led to the discovery of 62 prehistoric sites. The stone tool assemblages from all the sites were systematically collected. The sampled lithic assemblages have been studied in detail to comprehend the lithic reduction sequence, raw material use and procurement strategy. In order to understand the settlement pattern and site formation processes remote sensing data have been intensively utilised. This has helped in understand spatial and geographic patterns of site occurrence in different geomorphological context. Keywords: Jonk River, Mahanadi, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Palaeolithic, Microlithic, Lithic Assemblage Introduction The river Jonk is a southern tributary of upper Mahanadi. The river flows through Nuwapada, and Bargarh districts of Odisha and Mahasamund and Raipur Districts of Chhattisgarh. The total length of the river is about 210 km and is fed by a number of tributaries viz. Silda, Bhandar, Kandajhari, Kolar, Machka, Chirar, Bagh, Bhuisa, Ama, Kantara, Karmel, Lamhar, and Maokha. -
Inter State Agreements
ORISSA STATE WATER PLAN 2 0 0 4 INTER STATE AGGREMENTS Orissa State Water Plan 9 INTER STATE AGREEMENTS Orissa State has inter state agreements with neighboring states of West Bengal, Jharkhand ( formerly Bihar),Chattisgarh (Formerly Madhya Pradesh) and Andhra Pradesh on Planning & Execution of Irrigation Projects. The Basin wise details of such Projects are briefly discussed below:- (i) Mahanadi Basin: Hirakud Dam Project: Hirakud Dam was completed in the year 1957 by Government of India and there was no bipartite agreement between Government of Orissa and Government of M.P. at that point of time. However the issues concerning the interest of both the states are discussed in various meetings:- Minutes of the meeting of Madhya Pradesh and ORISSA officers of Irrigation & Electricity Departments held at Pachmarhi on 15.6.73. IBB DIVERSION SCHEME: 3. Secretary, Irrigation & Power, Orissa pointed out that Madhya Pradesh is constructing a diversion weir on Ib river. This river is a source of water supply to the Orient Paper Mill at Brajrajnagar as well as to Sundergarh, a District town in Orissa State. Government of Orissa apprehends that the summer flows in Ib river will get reduced at the above two places due to diversion in Madhya Pradesh. Madhya Pradesh Officers explained that this work was taken up as a scarcity work in 1966- 77 and it is tapping a catchment of 174 Sq. miles only in Madhya Pradesh. There is no live storage and Orissa should have no apprehensions as regards the availability of flows at the aforesaid two places. It was decided that the flow data as maintained by Madhya Pradesh at the Ib weir site and by Orissa at Brajrajnagar and Sundergarh should be exchanged and studied. -

Chapter – I Introduction
CHAPTER – I INTRODUCTION WHAT IS BIODIVERSITY: Biological diversity or “biodiversity” has been defined as: “The variability among living organisms from all sources including Inter alia, Terrestrial, Marine and other Aquatic Ecosystems and the Ecological Complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity within species, between species, and of Ecosystems”. Diversity within species (or genetic diversity) refers to variability in the functional units of heredity present in any material of plant, animal, microbial or other origin. Species diversity is used to describe the variety of species - whether wild or domesticated) within a geographical area. Estimates of the total number of species (defined as a population of organisms which are able to interbreed freely under natural conditions) range from 2 to 100 million, though less than 1.5 million have actually been described. Ecosystem diversity refers to the enormous variety of plant, animal and micro organism communities and ecological processes that make them function. In short, biodiversity refers to the variety of life on earth. This variety provides the building blocks to adapt to changing environmental conditions in the future. The conservation of biodiversity is the fundamental to achieve sustainable development. It provides flexibility and options for our current (and future) use of natural resources. About 80% of the population in Chhattisgarh lives in rural areas, and a large part of this population, depends directly or indirectly on natural resources. Conservation of biodiversity is crucial for the sustainability of sectors as diverse as agriculture, forestry, fisheries, wildlife, industry, health, tourism, commerce, irrigation and power. Development of Chhattisgarh in future, will depend on the foundation provided by live resources, and conservation of biodiversity will ensure that this foundation remains strong. -
