June 5: World Environment Day Vs the Swachh Bharat dream
This World Environment Day, let us applaud Ravinder Kumar’s matrydom and seek the strongest of punishment for the prime accused and his misguided aides.
I wonder how we are different, really. Ravinder Kumar in one unfortunate moment believed. Believed he could ‘be the change’, the change that can better, the nation he perhaps loved. So often we, the better educated have cringed, scrunched up our collective noses, and walked on. When the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan was stamped upon the nation on October 2, 2014, leaders jostled each other for headline space – outshining each other to show how committed they were. In addition, everyone, from the media to myriad bigwigs aired their pledge to the cause with élan. It had the commoners believe that by 2019 India indeed would suddenly turn open-defecation free. Yes, Ravinder Kumar believed.
Ravinder Kumar did not belong to the army, he was not a politician, nor was he a bureaucrat. He was a nobody. The incident took place at 8:30 pm on May 27, 2017, when the 32 year old e-rickshaw driver objected to two persons urinating publicly near the GTB Metro Station, New Delhi, indicating that they use the nearby public toilet – just a stone’s throw away. The request soon turned into an argument with the infuriated men threatening him with dire consequences. Soon they came back with 15-20 men, beat up Ravinder Kumar, fled, leaving the young victim to succumb to his injuries. End of story.
Newspapers printed the incident, social media reacted about the lack of human empathy in its sporadic way, and stalwart politicians at the helm from Prime Minister Modi to Venkaiah Naidu routinely condemned the incident and threw in promises to book the criminals and offered a few lakhs in compensation to soften the blow for his pregnant wife.
Newspapers printed the incident, social media reacted about the lack of human empathy in its sporadic way, and stalwart politicians at the helm from Prime Minister Modi to Venkaiah Naidu routinely condemned the incident and threw in promises to book the criminals and offered a few lakhs in compensation to soften the blow for his pregnant wife.
But, the projected cost of INR 1.96 lakh crore for the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan may just as well be a waste if civil society stops believing in it. 12 million toilets or otherwise, we still would be a stinking nation full of brats who think it is fine to beat up and kill a poor man who stood up to do something for his nation.
While I congratulate Aasheesh Sharma, Deputy Editor, Hindustan Times for taking up the cause, I urge civil society to demand for a greater visibility of Ravinder Kumar’s sacrifice. A life dedicated to the nation should not be dismissed so easily.
We are celebrating World Environment Day on June 5 – faceless and nameless festivities from various quarters are going to mark the event.
Is there no relationship between caring for the environment and the Swachh Bharat dream? Isn’t cleanliness intrinsic to nature? I believe that Ravinder Kumar should become the face of a movement that seeks public participation at the core. The outrage should be fuelled and propelled by all of us by demanding the fastest and most public punishment for those accused – to make sure that no one comes in the way of a common man and his nation.

In last few decades we have seen the miss-utilization of technology by innovating non sustainable plastic packaging and promotional branding in various products. This promotional materials can neither be re cycled nor get decompose, resulting major waste problem. As there are no waste management system available in most of the cities this by products are either burned or dumped in a ground, again resulting major hazardous environment issues.
its a request to all government organisation, manufacturing companies to immediately ban use of plastic in packaging and promotional branding.

21st June has been declared by the United Nations as the International Day of Yoga. We know that the regular practice of Yoga can help cure several ailments and sustain physical and mental well-being ! But, apart from improving health,Yoga can also help in conserving the Environment! Because, the practise of Yoga "awaken" people to their interdependence with Nature - and their desire to preserve it becomes expectedly spontaneous.

June 5th, 2016 is "World Environment Day" ! The theme this year is "fighting against the illegal trade in wildlife" that is driving several species to the brink of extinction - upsetting ecosystems and economies! The environment is everyone's concern - so much so that no one can afford to say "it's not my business"!

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is an important tool to inform decision- makers, regulators and stakeholders, about the possible environmental, social and economic costs of the proposed project. To be effective, it requires the active involvement of all concerned stakeholders.
There is a genuine need to develop the capacity of the state-level regulators and state level expert appraisal Committee (SEAC) to screen and scope the EIA process, to conduct transparent public consultations and to evaluate the EIA reports, especially after the new EIA notification. At the same time, there is a need among CBO, NGOs, academicians, and environment managers to review and interpret EIA report, as they are technical in nature.
Centre for Science and Environment recognises this need and has developed a hands-on five-day training programme aimed at giving practical exposure to participants on EIA with specific reference to coal based power plant, cement, pharmaceutical, mining and others. After the programme, the participants shall have:
1. Exposure to all aspects of EIA, from its theory to the practical – such as better understanding regarding
What data is required, how this data should be collected and interpreted, and significance of the data
Effectiveness of the assessment methods
What issues should be addressed in the Terms of Reference (TOR)
Tools and thumb rules available to evaluate the environmental impact of projects
2. Better understanding of the EIA process – from screening, scoping, data collection to impact assessment as well as the role of public consultation
3. Better understanding of the environmental and social impacts of the industrial and developmental projects
4. Better ability to review EIA reports and identify its strengths and weaknesses
5. Increased ability to play active role in post-EIA monitoring.

The financial institutions have an important role to play when it comes to reducing environmental and social risk associated with a project. Their role becomes significantly important considering severe capacity gap with different institution entrusted with the job. Therefore, it is imperative for the financial institutions to conduct a proper due diligence of a project before financing them. This will not only save them from reputational risk but also from financial risk. Considering the role financial institutional can play in ensuring environmental compliance and social acceptance of a project, Centre for Science and Environment is organizing a two days workshop on“Environmental and Social Risk in Project Financing” that will address the issue of proper environmental and social risk assessment during financial due diligence and why it is important for the financial institutions. The workshop will be held at Mumbai in December 2015. The objective of the workshop is to understand the importance of duediligence process, how it is being implemented by financial institution in the country and the ways by which this process can be made more effective and much better.
Centre for Science and Environment would like to invite candidates to submit a paper for the above mentioned workshop. This workshop will act as a platform for researchers and practitioners to present new research and developments in the area of environmental and social risk issues, and how the financial institutions can help minimize these risks and effectively cut down their losses and NPAs.
Kindly indicate your intention to submit your full paper to the email address given below with the title of the paper, authors, and abstract. The full manuscript, as a PDF file, should be emailed to this address on or before the given deadline. Authoring guidelines/specific format shall be mailed to you after the review panel receives your letter of intent.
The selected authors will be invited to present their paper(s) at the workshop. CSE would be providing travel and stay expenses for the selected speakers, and give them honorarium for their paper and presentations.
