Parmarth Niketan is the largest ashram in

Rishikesh and has played host to the

festival since 1999 at its sprawling

complex overlooking the Ganga

The event has grown from a handful of

participants who stayed in neighbouring

hotels to attend classes and programmes

under a couple of yogacharyas to

approximately 2000 attendees from over

100 countries and over a

dozen yogacharyas from around the

globe

Rishikesh where they stayed at the ashram of the

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi for an advanced transcendental

meditation course It inspired some of their most iconic

Yoga is not merely for our bodies but rather Yoga is for our bodies minds hearts and souls Yoga

literally means ldquoUnionrdquo ndash union of breath with the body union of the mind with the muscles and most

importantly union of the self with the divine Yoga is not a religon It does not require you to believe in

a certain God or chant certain mantras

Yoga is an ancient science which leads to health in the body peace in the mind joy in the heart and

liberation of the soul

Ursquokhand to announce themes for 13 new tourist destinations

why

In an attempt to bolster the image of Uttarakhand as the preferred tourist destination in the country and to attract visitors to places beyond prominent ones like Nainital and Mussoorie

the state government is planning to develop 13 theme-based tourist spots ie one in each district

An official announcement of the project would be made on March 18 the day when chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat completes one year in office

anouncement aimed to develop one tourist destination each in all districts in order to decongest the existing hotspots

Later an expert committee was constituted under the chief secretary which studied the geographical conditions and viability of the proposal following which the names and themes of the 13 destinations were finalised

Government has identified Munsiyari in Pithoragarh district Kausani in Bageshwar Katarmal in

Almora Mukteshwar in Nainital Lohaghat in Champawat Parag Farm in Udham Singh Nagar

Chopta in Rudraprayag Tehri lake in Tehri Khirsu of Pauri district Chinyalisaur of Uttarkashi

Gairsain-Auli of Chamoli Chakrata in Dehradun and Piran Kaliyar and Shaktipeeth in Haridwar

district for the project

Particular themes district wise

state

Doon 21st in quality of life index out of 23 cities

Highlighting the cityrsquos gross under-preparedness to deliver a high quality of life that is sustainable in the long term Dehradun languishes at the 21st spot in a list of 23 cities in terms of quality of governance

who did the survey The findings a part of Annual Survey of Indiarsquos City-Systems 2017(ASICS-

2017) were released by Janaagraha Centre for Citizenship and Democracy (Janaagraha) a

Bengaluru-based non-profit

institution that focuses on

transforming lives in Indiarsquos

cities and towns

methodology hellipOn a

scale of 10

Dehradun scored 31Pune

topped the list with

51Other cities that came

in the top five are Kolkata

Thiruvananthapuram

Bhubaneswar and Surat

with scores in the range of

46 to 45

why dehradun rank is so poor

The survey revealed that Dehradun had not undertaken AMRUT reforms

on publishing e-newsletters and demand collection book credit rating appointment of internal auditors and providing internship opportunities

It also found out that the city lacked a resilience strategy and comprehensive mobility plan

This was also marked by a decline in own revenue generation on an average in the last three years

Dehradun is ranked 21st with a score of 31 It has dropped its rank by three positions and does not see a score change since 2016 Dehradun showed improvement in the total per capita capex with an average of Rs 59386 in the last three years But it is lower compared to Thiruvananthapuram (Rs 409424 ) and Pune (Rs 435723 )



Dehradun lacks policies on green building incentives mobility and land pooling

four key components of governance

urban planning and design

urban capacities and resources

empowered and legitimate political representation

transparency and accountability and participation

This was far behind cities such as London New York and Johannesburg which topped global

benchmarks with 88 88 and 76 points respectively



ASICS identifies five systemic challenges that need to be urgently addressed for our cities to

deliver a better quality

of life to citizens in a sustainable manner These are

1 Lack of a modern contemporary framework of spatial planning of cities and design standards for

public utilities such as roads footpaths bus stops and other underground utilities such as water and

sewerage networks

2 Weak finances both in terms of financial sustainability and financial accountability of cities

3 Poor human resource management in terms of number of staff skills and competencies of

stafforganisation design and performance management

4 Powerless mayors and city councils and severe fragmentation of governance across

municipalitiesparastatal agencies and state departments

5 Total absence of platforms for systematic citizen participation and lack of transparency in finances

and operations of cities

poor quality of life in indian cities and poor governancehelliphelliphelliphelliphelliphellip

Indian cities also have a lot of catching up to do when it comes to becoming self-reliant The cities assessed in the study were found to be generating only 39 of the funds they spend on an average with Patna raising just 17 on its own Only Mumbai Delhi Hyderabad and Pune generate over 50 of the amount they spend from their own revenue The study found that in several cities their own revenues did not even cover staff salaries ldquoLack of adequate revenue sources of their own severely constrains the ability of our cities to invest in infrastructure and service deliveryrdquo the report said

Janaagraha CEO Srikanth Viswanathan said the objective of the survey was to measure the preparedness of cities to deliver high quality infrastructure and services in the long term by evaluating ldquocity systemsrdquo ldquoOn a scale of 10 12 out of 23 cities have scored below four ndash indicating the precarious situation of our cities The pace of reforms in India has been painfully slow Recurring floods garbage crises air pollution fire accidents building collapses and dengue outbreaks are symptoms of this deeper governance crisis in our citiesrdquo he said

Among the medium cities (with a population of up to one million) Ranchi has broken into the top 10 with a score of 41 Bengaluru and Chandigarh (perceived as a planned city) figured at the bottom of the list ldquoBengaluru is a poor outlier among mega-cities primarily on account of weak financesrdquo said Vivek Anandan Nair associate manager and project lead of ASICS-2017

The survey also found urban capacities across cities suffering from rampant staff vacancies inadequate domain experience of senior municipal officers and powerless mayors and councils Commissioners were found to have only have 27 years of experience in urban management on an average Average staff vacancy stood at 35 with Guwahati bottoming out at 60

ldquoThe mayor and councils in our cities are toothless They donrsquot have full decision-making authority over critical functions such as planning housing water environment fire and emergency servicesrdquo the report stated

Only a few cities such as Bhopal Kanpur and Lucknow have a directly elected mayor with five-year tenure while metros like Bengaluru and Delhi have an indirectly elected mayor with one-year tenure



The survey went on to state that no city in India has effective policies to deter plan violations a deficiency that leads to the mushrooming of slums and unauthorised colonies While all its 23 cities scored zero on this parameter London New York and Johannesburg notched a perfect 10 out of 10Moreover most of the countryrsquos town and country planning acts date back to the previous century It has one planner per four lakh citizens (as opposed to 48 in the United States and 148 in the United Kingdom) the study said pointing out that poor urban planning can cost a country 3 of its GDP

ldquoOur study once again reiterates the need to fix city governance on a war footing There will be no change unless the state government empowers municipalities Lack of legislative imagination and political will has resulted in state governments not fixing city governancerdquo Viswanathan saidThe study ranked cities on the basis of four key components of governance ndash urban planning and design urban capacities and resources empowered and legitimate political representation and transparency

accountability and participation Scores were accorded in the 0-10 range

ldquoDevbhoomi Dialoguerdquo

Why With an aim to involve people and expert in development works and government schemes

the BJP government intends to conduct ldquoDevbhoomi Dialoguerdquo conclave each month

Each conclave with focus on different topic and would be held in different area Experts of the

topic concerned and locals would be invited to interact with the CM to provide their feedback and

suggestions

AimThe dialogue will aim to involve youngsters who are role models in their respective

areas social entrepreneurs and other experts The initiative has been inspired by Apka Budget

Aapki Rai campaign of the state government in which the CM himself interacted with people hailing

from different sectors of the society to take their views which could be included in the budget



The INI status will grant WII autonomous power to design special courses hire more people grant degrees and get fixed and enhanced funding from the Centre An INI is a premier higher education institution in India which ldquoserves as a pivotal player in developing highly skilled personnel within the specified region of the countrystaterdquo

Wildlife Institute of India (WII) in process to get status of Institute of National

Importance (INI)

Wildlife Institute of India (WII) has submitted its documents to the environment ministry to start the

process of granting it the status of Institute of National Importance (INI)

WII has become the first institute in the world to facilitate capacity building of 52 countries in

natural heritage with the setting up UNESCO Categroy 2 Centre for Asia and Pacific region

With such glorious recognition at international level it is high time that WII should be bestowed upon

the status of Institute of National Importance in the country The union environment ministry would

soon put up this proposal before the cabinet and then Parliament to facilitate this reckoningrdquo

Hopefully the process will be completed in

next three monthsrdquo

WII is also the only specialized institute based

on wildlife in the country which provides

training research education (MSC) and

advice to the states and centre on issues



related to wildlife

At present there are 92 institutions which include all the IIT NIT AIIMS in the country

WII will be the first wildlife based premier institutions to be granted this recognition by the

Government of India The recognition would not only provide exalted status but also facilitate

autonomy and enhanced funds for the institute

ldquoDeviating from the previous tradition of the centre wanting to have their say in all aspects of decision

making of educational institutions INI has been introduced by the centre itself to provide functional

liberty to the best selected institutions in the country stamped with INI status for their growthrdquo

with INI status the funds for WII from environment ministry will not vary from year to year The funds

and grants would further be enhanced which will give stability and autonomy will enable it to introduce

new courses and create new posts as per its requirement Apart from this it will be able to give

degrees to the students At present the students who study MSC and PHD from WII get their degree

from Forest Research Institute University

Five monuments to be developed as lsquoaadarsh monumentsrsquo by ASI

The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has selected five monuments in Uttarakhand that will

be developed as lsquoaadarsh (model) monumentsrsquo with an aim to enhance visitorsrsquo experience

These include the temple group in Jageshwar the 13th century sun temple at Katarmal

besides monuments in Lakhmandal Baijnath and Gopeshwar

The five monuments are part of 100 such identified by the ASI under the Aadarsh Smarak

Scheme

ASI will also provide interpretation and audio-video centres at some locations Care will be taken to

construct ramps at appropriate places to make the premises accessible to the differently-abled

While the temple group of Jageshwar was selected in the first phase of the initiative the

remaining monuments were included in the second phase

The five that have been selected under the scheme form an integral part of the medieval

archaeological wealth of the Kumaon region



While Katarmal is arguable one of the biggest sun temples in the central Himalayan region

the temple group at Jageshwar is a repository of inscriptions that date back to the eighth

century AD Much of it is believed to have been constructed during the reign of the Katyur

Dynasty in Uttarakhand

Meanwhile recently the Centre also launched Gangotri as a Swachh Iconic Place (SIP) under

its scheme of improving sanitation and cleanliness of 100 ldquomost iconic placesrdquo in the country

No tourist location in Uttarakhand could make it to the list of 10 destinations that were selected in the

first phase of SIP However in November 2017 during the second phase of SIP Gangotri and

Yamunotri were made part of the project

Koteshwar DamThe gravity dam on the Bhagirathi River has a

400 MW of run-of-the-river power station located 22 km (14

mi) downstream of the Tehri Dam of Uttarakhand Height -975 m

Bhagirathi River

Installed capacity 400 MW

Run-of-the-river hydroelectric systems are hydroelectric systems that harvest

the energy from flowing water to generate electricity in the absence of a large dam and reservoir - which is

how they differ from conventional impoundment hydroelectric facilities The primary difference between this

type of hydroelectric generation and others is that run-of-the-river primarily uses the flow rate of water to

generate power instead of the power from water falling a large distance although water may still

experience some vertical drop in a run-of-the-river system Another main difference between traditional

hydropower is that run-of-the-river hydro is used in areas where there is little to no water storage such as

in a riverFor a run-of-the-river system to be possible in a given location there need to be two specific

geographical features The first is there must be a reasonably substantial flow rate either from rainfall or a

melting snowpack As well there must be enough of a tilt to the river to speed the water up significantly

Additionally run-of-the-river systems are best implemented in bodies of water with a fairly constant flow

rate If they are built in locations where flow rate is fairly low for a period of time and then peaks

dramatically there will be a large amount of wasted water during the peak flow periods as the excess

water falls through the spillways This is because these systems are built to accommodate the lowest flow

rate and would thus not be able to handle significantly larger flow rates

In run-of-the-river systems running water from a river is guided down a channel or penstock There can be some change in altitude at this point so there may still be some contribution from falling water The diverted water is brought to an electricity generating house In this house the running water drives a turbine running a generator and generating electricity After being used water is fed back into the river downstream One major difference between large-scale conventional storage hydro is the lack of a large impoundment dam or significant hydroelectric reservoir In this case there is generally only some small-scale dam that is built to allow energy generation without a significantly large reservoir

The Chief Minister Mr Trivendra Singh Rawat and Union Minister of State Mr RK Singh also inspected a model of Netwad Mori Hydro power Project which is slated to be completed by 2021

for example Indian has number of

hydroelectric power stations such as

Baglihar DamNathpa Jhakri and

Shringar Hydropower StationRatle

with the commissioning of the

project the economic and social

development of the areas will take

place after 2013 it is the first hydro-

electric project to start in the state

state is in the process of becoming an energy-efficient state two new projects have been commissioned efforts

are being made to restart the pending and closed hydro projects in the state soon and talks are also being held

with Union Power Ministry in this regard

Post immunisation Uttarakhand safest for kids records least casualties

For a change there is some good news from Uttarakhandrsquos public health sector

In the past eight years the state has recorded the least number of deaths caused due to

Adverse Events Following Immunisation (AEFI) among 21 large states in the country

Between 2010-11 and 2017-18 seven children died in the state due to AEFI There were no

deaths in 2010-11 and 2013-14 two deaths in 2015-16 and one death each in the remaining

years For 2017-18 the data is available till December 31 2017

Overall Nagaland Sikkim and Manipur are the best-performing states with 1 2 and 3 deaths

respectively Among all states Uttarakhand is at the 5th place

This was possible because we gave emphasis on improving the quality of training imparted to

our ANMs We even roped in doctors from medical colleges for this purpose Recently we

vaccinated nearly 28 lakh children in a campaign mode and there was no case of AEFIrdquo

The latest report of the NITI Aayog on health index also stated that the state has

achieved 9930 complete immunisation as on 2015-16

Uttarakhandrsquos performance gains significance because it comes at a time when there has been an

894 rise in deaths due to AEFI in the country between 2010-11 and 2016-17

From 37 deaths in 2010-11 the figure reached 368 in 2016-17 Overall 1713 children died due to

AEFI in the last eight years in India

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines AEFI as ldquoany untoward medical occurrence which

follows immunisation and does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the usage of the

vaccinerdquo

The adverse effects can be in the form of high grade fever pneumonia bacterial abscess caused due

to unsterile injections fainting rashes vomiting among others



efficient and careful method

govt ensure that the cold chain of vaccines is maintained at all stages Severe AEFI are witnessed

generally when damaged vaccines are administered due to negligence For this our ANMs have

been trained on checking vaccine vile monitors (VVM) using BCG and Measeles vaccines within four

hours of breaking the seal and using only auto-disposable syringesrdquo parents are also regularly

counselled about vaccines

Meanwhile in comparison to Uttarakhand neighbouring Himachal Pradesh recorded 10 deaths while

54 children died in Gujarat 200 in Bihar 29 in Jharkhand 48 in Haryana 20 in Punjab and 34 in

Chhattisgarh Uttar Pradesh was the worst-performing state with 253 deaths in the past eight years

Tripura Meghalaya and Mizoram are much smaller than Uttarakhand but the number of death due to

AEFI therein is 29 12 and 15 respectively

The ministry in its reply also informed that deaths due to AEFI are reported investigated and

monitored by committees at the district state and national-level under the National Adverse Events

Following Immunization Surveillance System

Uttarakhand plans 5000 homestays by 2020 to check migration

The Uttarakhand cabinetrsquos decision to set up homestay facilities to link local economy and checks

migration from the hills has been questioned by environmentalists who stressed on a need of

strategic development in the area as it can pose environmental implications in future




current atatus of Home stay

As per the estimates of the Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board there are 309 home stays

registered in the state until February

To run the business a mandatory non-objection certificate is needed from the tourism department

that is given at the district level

The highest number of home stays are in Tehri (77) followed by Almora (68) Dehradun (67) and

Nainital (40) Therersquos no record of number of tourists visiting these places

Help provided by Govt

For this the government will be help in getting loan repayment of loan subsidy in power and water

supply among others

suggestions



proposed to systematize home stay policy by identifying USP (unique selling proposition) of every

area in terms of its ecological cultural or traditional importance

ldquoThis will help tourists in planning a better holidayrdquo

ldquoIf a tourist wishes to visit a wildlife area he could avail home stay in nearby places in Corbett Rajaji

Nandhaur among others This systematic approach will help the government in understanding the

potential areas in the state and also will give an opportunity to locals to get the maximum benefit of

the businessrdquo

ldquoWhy will any person wanting to holiday in Uttarakhand want to reach some remote area in

Pithoragarh He will look for an accessible area Thatrsquos the reason why it is important for the

government to identify and acknowledge the areas based on its important factorrdquo he said

ldquoPromotion of home stay isnrsquot enough We should also look into the aspects that these people arenrsquot

charging too much touristsrdquo

State tourism department officials said that mainly influential and well to do families are running the

business and there is a need for the district level officials to support farmers and villagers in the area

ldquoThe Ecotourism Development Corporation is working on circuits and other ecotourism projects

Home stays will be widely promoted and we will sensitise locals about itrdquo said Harak Singh Rawat

WHAT IS CHIPKO MOVEMENT GOOGLE DOODLE CELEBRATES ITS 45TH ANNIVERSARY

In the 1970s an organized resistance to the destruction of forests spread throughout India and came to be known as the Chipko movement The name of the movement comes from the word rsquoembracersquo as the villagers hugged the trees and prevented the contractorsrsquo from felling them

Not many people know that over the last few centuries many communities in India have helped save nature One such is the Bishnoi community of Rajasthan The original rsquoChipko movementrsquo was started around 260 years back in the early part of the 18th century in Rajasthan by this community A large group of them from 84 villages led by a lady called Amrita Devi laid down their lives in an effort to protect the trees from being felled on the orders of the Maharaja (King) of Jodhpur After this incident the maharaja gave a strong royal decree preventing the cutting of trees in all Bishnoi villages

history

The year 1964 saw the establishment of Dasholi Gram Swarajya Sangh (DGSS) (ldquoDasholi Society for Village Self-Rulerdquo) set up by Gandhian social worker Chandi Prasad Bhatt in Gopeshwar and inspired by Jayaprakash Narayan and the Sarvodaya movement with an aim to set up small industries using the resources of the forest Their first project was a small workshop making farm tools for local use Its name was later changed to DGSS from the original Dasholi Gram Swarajya Mandal (DGSM) in the 1980s Here they had to face restrictive forest policies a hangover of colonial era still prevalent as well as the ldquocontractor systemrdquo in which these pieces of forest land were commodified and auctioned to big contractors usually from the plains who brought along their own skilled and semi-skilled laborers leaving only the menial jobs like hauling rocks for the hill people and paying them next to nothing On the other hand the hill regions saw an influx of more people from the outside which only added to the already strained ecological balance

Hastened by increasing hardships the Garhwal Himalayas soon became the centre for a rising ecological awareness of how reckless deforestation had denuded much of the forest cover resulting in the devastating Alaknanda River floods of July 1970 when a major landslide blocked the river and affected an area starting from Hanumanchatti near Badrinath to 350 km downstream till Haridwar further numerous villages bridges and roads were washed away Thereafter incidences of landslides and land subsidence became common in an area which was experiencing a rapid increase in civil engineering projects

Soon villagers and women began to organize themselves under several smaller groups taking up local causes with the authorities and standing up against commercial logging operations that threatened their livelihoods In October 1971 the Sangha workers held a demonstration in Gopeshwar to protest against the policies of the Forest Department More rallies and marches were held in late 1972 but to little effect until a decision to take direct action was taken The first such occasion occurred when the Forest Department turned down the Sanghrsquos annual request for ten Ash Trees for its farm tools workshop and instead awarded a contract for 300 trees to Simon Company a sporting goods manufacturer in distant Allahabad to make tennis racquets In March 1973 the lumbermen arrived at Gopeshwar and after a couple of weeks they were confronted at village Mandal on 24 April 1973 where about hundred villagers and DGSS workers were beating drums and shouting slogans thus forcing the contractors and their lumbermen to retreat



This was the first confrontation of the movement The contract was eventually cancelled and awarded to the Sangh instead By now the issue had grown beyond the mere procurement of an annual quota of three ash trees and encompassed a growing concern over commercial logging and the governmentrsquos forest policy which the villagers saw as unfavorable towards them The Sangh also decided to resort to tree-hugging or Chipko as a means of non-violent protest

But the struggle was far from over as the same company was awarded more ash trees in the Phata forest 80 km away from Gopeshwar Here again due to local opposition starting on 20 June 1973 the contractors retreated after a stand-off that lasted a few days Thereafter the villagers of Phata and Tarsali formed a vigil group and watched over the trees until December when they had another successful stand-off when the activists reached the site in time The lumbermen retreated leaving behind the five ash trees felled

The final flash point began a few months later when the government announced an auction scheduled in January 1974 for 2500 trees near Reni village overlooking the Alaknanda River Bhatt set out for the villages in the Reni area and incited the villagers who decided to protest against the actions of the government by hugging the trees Over the next few weeks rallies and meetings continued in the Reni area

On 25 March 1974 the day the lumbermen were to cut the trees the men of the Reni village and DGSS workers were in Chamoli diverted by state government and contractors to a fictional compensation payment site while back home labourers arrived by the truckload to start logging operationsA local girl on seeing them rushed to inform Gaura Devi the head of the village Mahila Mangal Dal at Reni village (Laata was her ancestral home and Reni adopted home) Gaura Devi led 27 of the village women to the site and confronted the loggers When all talking failed and the



loggers started to shout and abuse the women threatening them with guns the women resorted to hugging the trees to stop them from being felled This went on into late hours The women kept an all-night vigil guarding their trees from the cutters until a few of them relented and left the village The next day when the men and leaders returned the news of the movement spread to the neighbouring Laata and others villages including Henwalghati and more people joined in Eventually only after a four-day stand-off the contractors left

people involved

One of Chipkorsquos most salient features was the mass participation of female villagersAs the backbone of Uttarakhandrsquos Agrarian economy women were most directly affected by environmental degradation and deforestation and thus related to the issues most easily How much this participation impacted or derived from the ideology of Chipko has been fiercely debated in academic circles

Despite this both female and male activists did play pivotal roles in the movement including Gaura Devi Sudesha Devi Bachni Devi Chandi Prasad Bhatt Sundarlal Bahuguna Govind Singh Rawat Dhoom Singh Neji Shamsher Singh Bisht and Ghanasyam Raturi the Chipko poet whose songs are still popular in the Himalayan region Out of which Chandi Prasad Bhatt was awarded the Ramon Magsaysay Award in 1982 and Sundarlal Bahuguna was awarded the Padma Vibhushan in 2009

what was so special

Womenrsquos participation in the Chipko agitation was a very novel aspect of the movement The forest contractors of the region usually doubled up as suppliers of alcohol to men Women held sustained agitations against the habit of alcoholism and broadened the agenda of the movement to cover other social issues The movement achieved a victory when the government issued a ban on felling of trees in the Himalayan regions for fifteen years in 1980 by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi until the green cover was fully restoredOne of the prominent Chipko leaders Gandhian Sunderlal Bahuguna took a 5000 kilometre trans-Himalaya foot march in 1981ndash83 spreading the Chipko message to a far greater area Gradually women set up cooperatives to guard local forests and also organized fodder production at rates conducive to local environment Next they joined in land rotation schemes for fodder collection helped replant degraded land and established and ran nurseries stocked with species they selected

impact

Over time as a United Nations Environment Programme report mentioned Chipko activists started ldquoworking a socio-economic revolution by winning control of their forest resources from the hands of a distant bureaucracy which is only concerned with the selling of forestland for making urban-oriented productsrdquo The Chipko movement became a benchmark for socio-ecological movements in other forest areas of Himachal Pradesh Rajasthan and Bihar in September 1983 Chipko inspired a similar Appiko movement in Karnataka state of India where tree felling in the Western Ghats and Vindhyas was stopped In Kumaon region Chipko took on a more radical tone combining with the general movement for a separate Uttarakhand state which was eventually achieved in 2000



In the 20th century it began in the hills where the forests are the main source of livelihood since agricultural activities cannot be carried out easily The Chipko movement of 1973 was one of the most famous among these The first Chipko action took place spontaneously in April 1973 in the village of Mandal in the upper Alakananda valley and over the next five years spread to many districts of the Himalayas in Uttar Pradesh It was sparked off by the governmentrsquos decision to allot a plot of forest area in the Alaknanda valley to a sports goods company This angered the villagers because their similar demand to use wood for making agricultural tools had been earlier denied With encouragement from a local NGO (non-governmental organization) DGSS (Dasoli Gram Swarajya Sangh) the women of the area under the leadership of an activist Chandi Prasad Bhatt went into the forest and formed a circle around the trees preventing the men from cutting them down

The success achieved by this protest led to similar protests in other parts of the country From their origins as a spontaneous protest against logging abuses in Uttar Pradesh in the Himalayas supporters of the Chipko movement mainly village women have successfully banned the felling of trees in a number of regions and influenced natural resource policy in India Dhoom Singh Negi Bachni Devi and many other village women were the first to save trees by hugging them They coined the slogan lsquoWhat do the forests bear Soil water and pure airrsquo The success of the Chipko movement in the hills saved thousands of trees from being felled

Some other persons have also been involved in this movement and have given it proper direction Mr Sunderlal Bahuguna a Gandhian activist and philosopher whose appeal to Mrs Indira Gandhi the then Prime Minister of India resulted in the green-felling ban Mr Bahuguna coined the Chipko slogan lsquoecology is permanent economyrsquo Mr Chandi Prasad Bhatt is another leader of the Chipko movement He encouraged the development of local industries based on the conservation and sustainable use of forest wealth for local benefit Mr Ghanasyam Raturi the Chipko poet whose songs echo throughout the Himalayas of Uttar Pradesh wrote a poem describing the method of embracing the trees to save them from felling

The Chipko protests in Uttar Pradesh achieved a major victory in 1980 with a 15-year ban on green felling in the Himalayan forests of that state by the order of Mrs Indira Gandhi the then Prime Minister of India Since then the movement has spread to many states in the country In addition to the 15-year ban in Uttar Pradesh the movement has stopped felling in the Western Ghats and the Vindhyas and has generated pressure for a natural resource policy that is more sensitive to peoplersquos needs and ecological requirements

Uttarakhand generates 1406 tonne solid waste daily but processing is

zero

Uttarakhand is the worst-performing state in the country in terms of processing solid waste Everyday

it generates 1406 tonne solid waste and processes 0 of it

Only 3 wards in Uttarakhand have facility of 100 waste segregation at source

Uttarakhand is the worst-performing state in the country in terms of processing solid waste

Everyday it generates 1406 tonne solid waste and processes 0 of it

Besides Arunachal Pradesh it is the only state in the country to have this abysmal

performance Neighbouring Himachal Pradesh generates just 342 tonne solid waste everyday

and is able to process 20 of it

The other states that have fared poorly in processing solid waste include Arunachal

Pradesh (0) Odisha and Jammu and Kashmir (1) Jharkhand (2) Haryana (6) and

West Bengal (5)

On the other hand by treating 67 of the solid waste generated everyday Telangana is

the best performing state followed by Sikkim (66) Goa (62) and Chhattisgarh (60)

It further revealed that there are 912 wards in the state of which only 3 (29 wards) have the

facility of 100 segregation of waste at source Furthermore there are 21 wards (715) that

still do not have 100 door-to-door collection of solid waste

Last year six cities from Uttarakhand were included in the Swachh Survekshan ranking None

of them figured in the 100 most cleanest cities of the country

At 395 rank Haldwani-Kathgodam was the dirtiest while Roorkee (218 rank) was the

cleanest in the state The capital city Dehradun was ranked 316 and the much-

frequented hill town of Nainital was placed at the 330th spot

Against the target of achieving 100 management of solid waste the country has been able to

achieve only 237 physical targets till December 2017 Furthermore only 35 of the 84016 wards

in the country have 100 segregation of waste and 30 wards still donrsquot have 100 door-to-door

waste collection service

It attributed the delay to the time taken in commissioning and operationalising plants It adds that the

delay is also being caused because the Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban) provides funds only up to

35 and the rest has to be arranged by the states and urban local bodies This the reply says is

causing delays in securing funds



NGT issues notices on conservation of dry springs in Uttarakhand

A National Green Tribunal (NGT) bench headed by Justice Jawad Rahim issued notices to the ministry of water

resources Uttarakhand Uttarakhand Peyjal Nigam Jal Sansthan Central Ground Water Board National

Biodiversity Board and State Biodiversity Board to respond on measures taken to protect and conserve dry

natural springs in the state

Petitioner Pratibha Naithani a resident of the state referred a study of Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology

conducted few years ago that found reduction of 40 water discharge in springs of the state and suggested

urgent remedial measures

Petitionerrsquos lawyer Gaurav Bansal brought attention to a petition filed last year related to protection and

conservation of hot water springs of Gauri Kund temple near Kedarnath

Central Ground Water Board that studied the destruction of spring in 2013 flash floods had suggested

reconstruction of hot water spring of the temple

NGT had directed the chief secretary on November 7 last year to formulate and implement watershed

management strategy for the conservation of the dry spring and other such springs of the state but he did

nothing in this regard

Projects worth Rs 2450 crore approved for Nanda Devi

Biosphere reserve

In a state-level meeting of Nanda Devi Biosphere chief secretary Utpal Kumar approved Rs 2450

crore for works to be executed in the next five years in the reserve Setting up bio-digester toilets on

trek route of Valley of flowers and repair of routes leading to Badrinath are among some prominent

projects

About nanada devi biosphere

The reserve spread over 586069 sq km has a special significance in terms of biodiversity In 2005

the reserve was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO Self-employment opportunities and the

basic infrastructure are being provided to the villagers who stay on the outskirts of the biosphere A

controlled community-based tourism has been developed in the reserve

The biosphere has two core zones stretching across 62462 sq km and Valley of Flower spread over

8750 square km There are over 1000 species of plants 520 species of creatures 229 species of

birds 200 species of insects in the biosphere

Sources said ldquoSetting up bio-digester toilets on trek route of valley of flowers repair of routes leading

to Badrinath and better facilities on the trek and mountaineering route were among the major works

included under the approved amountrdquo



Uttarakhand facing acute water crisis UNDP report

Uttarakhand which is considered reservoir for Indian subcontinent has faced drought in 10 out of 13

districts for two years from 2007-09 With scant rainfall in winter the state is likely to go through the

situation of severe water crisis and forest fire

United Nations Development Program (UNDP) has laid bare the findings of its more intensified Drill

Down Vulnerability Risk Assessment (VRS) conducted till December last year with regard to water

crisis in the state

ldquoAn estimated about 26 lakh springs provide 90 of the drinking water sources in Uttarakhand Due

to continued deforestation for projects like road construction or to meet fuel and fodder demands of

local communities it was found after collecting information from various sources and communities

that discharges of 500 water supply sources including springs streams ponds etc have reportedly

reduced by more than 50 Climate change will further amplify reduction of local water resourcesrdquo

causesinherent nature of the resource land-use changes lack of scientific understanding

and climate variability all make springs further vulnerable to extinction UNDP under the project

ldquoStrengthening State Strategies for Climate Actionsrdquo which is funded by Swiss Agency for

Development and Cooperation (SDC) will restore dried spring sheds in forest in collaboration with the

forest department

ldquoEarlier VRS study was conducted at block level in 2016 but the drill down VRS study was conducted

at community level in Dehradun Haridwar Champawat Pauri and Tehri Garhwal Champawat last

year Champawat accounts for the maximum number of villages 85 along the slopes thereby

making it more vulnerable to both water scarcity precipitation induced landslides and non-climate

hazard such as earthquake Dehradun and Garhwal districts have highest water crisis cases due to

their poor surface water and ground water availability across the yearrdquo

water crisis in Pauri Garhwal district is one of the reasons for large scale outmigration The report

says that such problems have been reported to be most prominent in villages of Jaiharikhal

Dwarikhal and Dugadda blocks In Jaunsar area of district Tehri Garhwal in villages such as Nagthat

Duena Vishoi Gadol Jandoh Chi tar Chichrad and Gangoa the water is mostly acidic in nature

The water problem in Chitar and Gangoa villages is very severe where men and women carry water

on mules from 8-10 Km to the village

ldquoRemote sensing data of number of forest fire events in last 16 years indicates that Tehri Garhwal

Pauri Garhwal and Dehradun are more vulnerable to forest fires Lack of water and reduced moisture

in the forest floor are evidently one of the main reason for increased number of forest firerdquo said

Waseem Yousf UNDP consultant

DGK Sharma additional principal chief conservator of Environment and Climate Change deparment

said ldquoThe state of Uttarakhand faces acute water scarcity during the peak summer season As

highlighted in the State Action Plan for Climate Change about 20 of the 15165 villages have varied



range of problems related to drinking water provision and more than 180 villages do not have a

designated source

Nainital at risk of catastrophic landslides

Hill slopes on which the tourist town of Nainital is situated are unstable with the soil and rocks

gradually but continuously sliding downward raising the risk of catastrophic landslides in the near

future a joint study by researchers from India and Taiwan has warned Researchers for the report

also found that unplanned building and road construction was likely among the major causes for

slope instability

A peer-reviewed paper on the findings was published in the Journal of Earth System Science this

month

The study funded by the Union governments department of science and technology and the ministry

of science and technology Taiwan monitored slope movements through application of satellite

remote sensing technique Researchers used SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) images collected

between August 2008 to August 2010 to detect surface deformation on several sites on the Sher-ka-

Danda ridge where devastating landslides in 1867 and 1880 destroyed buildings and claimed

hundreds of lives

Previous studies have identified the Sher-ka-Danda ridge a densely populated area with houses

commercial properties like hotels and shops government oces schools as highly-to-moderately

landslide prone or highly-to-moderately unstable

The new study found active creep (downslope movement of soil or other debris) along the ridge It

also revealed that this downslope movement was higher along the upper reaches of the hill -- at a

rate of over 20 millimeters per year -- and gradually decreased downhill where it was less than 5mm

per year

Pradeep K Goswami from the centre of advanced study department of geology Kumaun University

who was part of the study told TOI The technique used in our study was successful in monitoring

even the slowest of slope movements in the Himalayan terrain The creep observed on the Sher-Ka-

Danda ridge was continuous A continued creep over a long time period could result in catastrophic

events

Field evidences such as tilted trees electricity poles pillars building walls bent tree trunks cracks

and bulges along the retaining walls cracks in some of the newly constructed buildings etc further

confirmed active creep along the Sher-ka-Danda range researchers said



The main causes of slope instability were unplanned building and road construction highly deformed

lithology (rock formation) close proximity to the active Nainital Fault and the subtropical wet climate

of the town

The study concluded Given the long history of mass movements and continuously increasing

anthropogenic activities in Nainital these results call for immediate measures to avert any future

FIGHTING-FOREST-FIRES TRUE-FOR-UTTARAKHAND-TOO

The recent wildfire tragedy in Theni in Tamil Nadu in which 20 trekkers lost their lives once

again brings into focus forest fires in India Over the past few years we have realised that

these fires are not spontaneous human beings set off fires This tragedy raises several other

issues mdash of approaches in fighting fires and ways of mitigating damage

When a fire anywhere in the world is detected by NASArsquos MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging

Spectroradiometer) and VIIRS (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite) satellites the Forest

Survey of India (FSI) analyses the data by overlaying the digitised boundaries of forest areas to

pinpoint the location to the exact forest compartment The resolution of these satellites are up to

Uttarakhand district lies on the southern slope of the Himalayan range The climate and

vegetation vary greatly with elevation from glaciers at the highest elevations to subtropical

forests at the lower elevations The district in general is prone to different disasters and the

order of severity of damage are earthquakes excessive rains and cloud bursts landslides

floods forest fires and hailstorms However there have been numerous debates and

controversies ever since the flash floods hit the state of Uttarakhand in June 2013 This has been

one of the worst Himalayan tragedies in recent years in which the actual number of people buried

or perished is not known as thousands are still missing The entire Rambara a large part of

Gaurikund and many villages of Mandakini valley were also fully wiped out Government sources

have reported large number of deaths including missing of over ~5000 people in the wake of the

devastating flooding The death toll of 5748 tops Indias previous record worst monsoon flood

death toll of 4892 set in July 1968 in Rajasthan and Gujarat provinces The fact remains the

same that the torrential rains triggered a massive landslide that hit Uttarakhands Hindu shrine in

Kedarnath which lies just a short distance from the snout of two mountain glaciers From 15 to

17 June 2013 the Indian state of Uttarakhand and adjoining area received heavy rainfall which

was about 375 more than the benchmark rainfall during a normal monsoon This might have

caused the melting of Chorabari Glacier at the height of 3800 metres and eruption of the

Mandakini River which led to heavy floods near Gobindghat Kedar Dome Rudraprayag district

Uttarakhand Himachal Pradesh and Western Nepal and acute rainfall in other nearby regions of

Delhi Haryana Uttar Pradesh and some adjoining areas It has been reported that the complete

destruction of Mandakini River in Kedarnath on 16 th and 17 th June 2013 which resulted in large

number of casualties especially among the floating population of pilgrims could have been

avoided if some regulations was in place to counter the mushrooming of different types of

dwelling places in Kedarnath



375m x 375m which means that such fires can be detected if their extent is above half the pixel ie

about seven hectares The FSI relays news of the fire to the concerned State so that the Divisional

Forest Officer (DFO) in charge of the forest where the fire is raging is informed A few years ago the

time lapse between spotting the fire and the news reaching the DFO was five to six hours but this

has been reduced to about two hours recently The frequency of the two satellites orbiting the earth

has also been increased from twice daily to once in three hours

Meanwhile news of the fire would have reached the DFO from his guards in watchtowers and on

patrol The DFO decides whom to deploy Usually there is a master fire control room which is

informed and which sends firefighters from local fire crew stations to fight the blaze

Four approaches

There are four approaches to fighting forest fires The first is what may be called technological where

helicopters or ground-based personnel spray fire retardant chemicals or pump water to fight the

blaze These are expensive methods and make sense when one is protecting a human community

but are usually not practised in India

The second is to contain the fire in compartments bordered by natural barriers such as streams

roads ridges and fire lines along hillsides or across plains A fire line is a line through a forest which

has been cleared of all vegetation The width depends on the type of forest being protected Once the

blaze has burnt out all combustibles in the affected compartment it fizzles out and the neighbouring

compartments are saved

The third is to set a counter fire so that when a fire is unapproachable for humans a line is cleared of

combustibles and manned One waits until the wildfire is near enough to be sucking oxygen towards

it and then all the people manning the line set fire to the line simultaneously The counter fire rushes

towards the wildfire leaving a stretch of burnt ground As soon as the two fires meet the blaze is

extinguished

The fourth approach which is the most practical and most widely used is to have enough people with

leafy green boughs to beat the fire out This is practised in combination with fire lines and counter

fires

The lesson to be learnt is that if combustibles are removed or burnt under supervision a fire can be

controlled This is why there are usually no deaths from burns among personnel fighting forest fires

The danger is asphyxiation since a vast quantity of smoke is generated and the lack of oxygen in the



immediate vicinity of tall flames can cause breathlessness Once a person loses consciousness due

to asphyxiation the danger of being burnt alive becomes real especially if one is alone Dehydration

is also an issue when fighting flames more than a metre high

The British introduced a system of controlled burning of undergrowth in safe seasons (say during

winter) so that by summer there would be nothing left to burn This is an extremely destructive

practice since it wipes out insects small reptiles seeds herbs and bushes

Mitigating damage

The question is what can still be done to mitigate the damage caused by forest fires While

communication and response time have been cut down the actual numbers of Forest Department

personnel that are sent to put out fires are woefully inadequate The fact that they manage to achieve

some control speaks for their enthusiasm A fire often has a front of several kilometres and a few

jeeps full of men are entirely inadequate to fight such a blaze We need to vastly increase the number

of firefighters as well as equip them properly with drinking water bottles back-up supplies of food and

water proper shoes or boots rakes spades and other implements light rechargeable torches and

so on They could also be paid better Seasonal labour could be contracted during the fire season

With adequate training they would serve to fill gaps along the line Local villagers would be the best

resource

The constraint is funds Vast amounts of funds are used for frivolous purposes like lsquoplanting forestsrsquo

In practice they are mostly diverted to corrupt officials and political parties After more than half a

century of planting forests there is little to show for the funds spent on this activity Instead those

funds would be more than sufficient to cover the cost of a well-equipped and well-paid forest

protection force More Forest Department field staff could be hired to put out fires during the fire

season and to patrol the forests during other times This is the only way to prevent accidents such as

the Theni tragedy

it is not correct that Indian citizens require permission to enter reserve forests for recreational

purposes as distinguished from the perfectly sensible need to inform concerned authorities or owners

about onersquos presence in areas under their charge whether a reserve forest or a private orchard The

rules preventing entry to the public were intended to stop removal of resources so that the forests

concerned would be held in reserve against contingencies like war when large quantities of both

timber and firewood were required Since recreational visitors remove no resources there is no valid

reason for them to obtain permission to climb a publicly owned hill in India which has been entrusted

to the Forest Department to protect Therefore the Forest Act of 1927 is urgently in need of revision

since at present it embodies the spirit of colonialism Conversely there is no need for paved paths or

tourist lsquofacilitiesrsquo within reserve forests These are not tourist attractions Mass tourism can be nothing

but detrimental to forests

Increasing the field staff of Forest Departments by discontinuing the claimed lsquoforest plantationsrsquo would

help control forest fires which in turn would help rejuvenation of fire-stressed forest ecosystems This

would help indigenous forests grow back Giving access to the public to reserve forests in their



present state would have a salutary effect on the quality of life of our citizenry and the quality of field
