The World Travel & Tourism Council calculated that tourism generated :
INR6.4 trillion 6.6% of the nation's GDP in 2012. 39.5 million jobs, 7.7% of its total
employment.
The tourism industry of India is economically important and grows
rapidly.

The sector is predicted to grow at an average annual rate of 7.9% from 2013 to 2023.
This gives India the third rank among countries with the fastest growing tourism industries over the next decade.

• A mother, a goddess, a tradition, a culture.
• The Ganges Basin with its fertile soil is instrumental to the agricultural economies of India
• The Ganges and its tributaries provide a perennial source of irrigation to a large area
• The river waters start getting polluted right at the source.

In India there are 410 species, 186 genera, 45 families and
13 orders of which nearly 89 species are listed as threatened in
the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural
Resources (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Animals (IUCN 2006).
This includes two species that are locally extinct from India viz. Acinonyx
jubatus and Rhinoceros sondaicus.

Obstrutions/pollutants have any adverse impact on bird's migration?
It's a normal feature that millions of birds migrate towards tropical countries like India,
during winter seasons for various reasons, and they return back to their native habitats when
temperature rises at desired levels.

Emissions from coal-fired power plants is taking a heavy toll on human life across
large parts of India. In 2011-2012, a first-of-its-kind study in the country estimates it resulted in a whopping 80,000 to 1,15,000
premature deaths and more than 20 million asthma cases from exposure to a total PM10 (particulate matter) pollution.

Radioactive Pollution
Indian Government policies allow "permissible" levels of contaminated water to be released from nuclear power plants. These high levels of radiation can finds its way into the major rivers of India.Radioactive material present in the air can travel several of miles and cause diseases like cancer.It can make the soil very contaminated and cause the crops to get bad.If the radiation enters water supplies, it could contaminate a good portion of the country’s drinking water.

Solution of radioactive pollution:
• Treatment of radiation waste
• Radiation pollution control• transmutation

• Industries in Hyderabad downplaying emissions by manipulating data
• HYDERABAD: The AP pollution control board has sent notices to four manufacturers of pollution monitoring equipment for colluding with industries in downplaying emissions.
The PCB had introduced the online live monitoring system to make industrial air quality monitoring transparent, but it has now come to light that monitoring systems supplied by third-parties and installed at industries are under-reporting the pollution data.
The officials cornered the suppliers during checks conducted last month. "Four third-party monitoring service providers were warned about their nexus with the industries. These parties were found to be calibrating the equipment to suit the needs of the industries," a PCB official said.

CARBON FOOTPRINTA carbon footprint has
historically been defined by Championne as "the total sets of greenhouse gas emissions caused by an organization, event, product or person.

Solid waste management earns Pune invite to UN coalition
PUNE: The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has been invited to be a member of the United
Nations Environment Programme's (UNEP)Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC).
If the membership is granted, the civic body could
have easier access to funds from international agencies like the World Bank and the Asian
Development Bank for projects that mitigate environmental degradation.

NO OPEN DUMPING
The Pune Municipal Corporation claims there has been no open dumping in the city since June 2010.
About 1,500-1,600 tonnes of waste is generated in the city every day
1000 tonnes - Composted into refuse-derived fuel, pellets and biofuel at two plants in Uruli Devachi and Fursungi
200 tonnes - Converted into vermicompost at plants in Hadapsar
60 tonnes - Converted into biogas at 20 decentralized plants
300 tonnes - -Converted into electricity through pyrolysis
"Solid waste management is an important aspect in reducing emissions because improper disposal of waste results in the
production of gases like methane."
Mangesh Dighe, environment officer of PMC

Air pollution solution
“The Living Room Plant” Areca Palm (Chrysalidocarpis lutescens) which converts CO2 to oxygen during the day.
“The Bedroom Plant” Mother-in-law’s Tongue (Sansevieria trifasciata) which does the same at night.
“The Specialist Plant” the Money Plant (Epipremnum aureum) that absorbs formaldehydes and volatile chemicals from the air.
He cites figures from past studies, the office that he manages in the heart of New Delhi, “when compared to other buildings, these plants • lower eye irritation by 52%, • respiratory symptoms by 34%, • headaches by 12%,• lung impairment by 24%• asthma by 9%. • There is also a 42% probability of increasing blood oxygen by 1%.• All this has led to 20% higher productivity.” The improved air quality is immediately
noticeable; the moment you enter the building, you feel as if you have just landed in a rain forest.
