Sub: Invitation to attend the national conference on National Conference on “Sustainable Development of Smart Cities”
Organiser: IDC Foundation
Co-organisers: Grass Roots Research & Creation India (P) Ltd. & International Roma Cultural University, Belgrade, Serbia
Venue: India International Centre, Max Mueller Marg, New Delhi-03
Date: Sept 22 – 23, 2017,
Dear Sir/ Madam,
IDC Foundation, GRC India and IRCU Serbia are going to organize a National Conference on Sustainable Development of Smart Cities on Sept 22-23, 2017. You are cordially invited to attend the same. Your rich experience, information and knowledge sharing for the other stakeholders could have been wonderful.
Background
The increasing urban population and ever increasing migration towards the urban clusters has put additional pressure on the availability of natural resources. This has caused several environmental and resource depletion issues. Increasing human activities, intervention and industrialization has led to increase the toxic elements in the resources viz. Air, Water and Soil; affecting the balance of habitat. This is posing a great challenge on the existence of the living and non living organisms in the ecosystem. There is a great need to create systems and networks to ensure optimum utilization of resources. As per one of the reports by McKinsey Global Institute (2015), India will have 68 cities with a population of over one million by the year 2035.
Management of Resources through Smart Cities
The management of resources with this additional pressure on the urban areas would become a great challenge. An efficient and sustainable solution for serving urban areas is need of the hour. The concept and model of smart cities is of significant importance. A smart city integrates the information and communication technology (ICT) and internet of things (IOT) to manage city’s resources cum assets. This includes managing local departments’ information system, schools, libraries, transport, hospitals, power plants, water supply networks, waste management, law enforcement and other community services through ICT based services. The sustainable management of resources with efficient system will help in improving life standards of this population. As India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world, Government of India carrying forward the vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, has started taking steps to develop smart cities, which will be self sustainable habitats with maximum resource mobilization, optimized energy supplies and efficient public transportation system with a healthy quality of life.
National Conference
Keeping forward the momentum, National Conference on Sustainable Development of Smart Cities is going to be organized by IDC Foundation in collaboration with Grass Roots Research & Creation India (P) Ltd. and International Roma Cultural University, Belgrade, Serbia on Sept 22-23, 2017, which aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers, urban and environmental planners, information technology experts, regulators, administrators and developers and in fact all stakeholders involved in the designing, planning and implementation to exchange and discuss their ideas and share their experiences related with the progress achieved so far in various aspects and issues of Smart Cities Mission with a view to evolve innovative recommendations for achieving the goals and objectives of sustainable development of smart cities as being envisioned under a broad framework of Smart Cities Guidelines 2015 of Government of India. A copy of brochure can be viewed at <https://issuu.com/bhaveshjha/docs/conf_brochure_sdsc-2017.pdf.pdf>;

Respected Environmentalists,
Trust you all are working hard towards achieving resolutions taken on 5th June, 2017.
Couple of day’s back I was reading a blog “How to test water quality? Here are some low-cost, low-tech options” shared by Jessica Anne Lawson on the World Bank site. The blogger has reservation on quality of water testing results by different laboratories. Immediately I felt to share my views. As I kept on writing, my thought process went on changing. It is true that environmental laboratories issue results that vary from each other. There are some exceptionally impractical results. Although, various mechanisms are available to deal with such unacceptable variations, for example – inter-laboratory participation (ILC) and Proficiency Test (PT); there is a need to ponder upon the following case studies:-
Mostly test reports of environmental laboratories are related to compliance requirement and therefore pass through many legally empowered authorities. Reporting of results does not improve unless there is an appropriate criticism that probably lacks from the end user’s side. The next blog also available at https://ecomediaindia.blogspot.in/2017/03/redressal-of-environmental-laboratory.html is based on Some case study and experience.
Kindly have a glance and share your views.
Warm regards,

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.

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.

Sponge Iron plants are highly air polluting plants. This type of industry is allowed only in Asian countries especially in India.What are its alternative and how it can be converted into less polluting is challenge of today. We should discuss on this issue.
Emission monitoring of Diesel Generator (DG) sets are governed by Emission Standards notified by the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEF&CC), Government of India vide G.S.R. 489 (E), dated 9th July, 2002 GSR 771(E) Dated 11th December, 2013.
Often during construction phase of projects it is found that Diesel Generator (DG) sets are fitted with stack exhausts having inadequate sampling porthole. An appropriate sampling porthole location is essential for better results. Please go through my blog https://ecomediaindia.blogspot.in/2017/04/requirements-for-emission-monitoring-of_27.html.
Kindly share this to those whom you feel should know. For any further assistance, please feel to email to sanjay.mishra@ecocorporate.com. Also leave your valuable comments, suggestions and feedback.

On 4th January, 2017, The Chairman of Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA) issued a Public Notice that reads as follows:
All the industrial units/ Infrastructure/Mining projects whether existing or new or under expansion, using ground water are directed to submit their applications with due recommendation of State Pollution Control Board along with ground water quality analysis report, rain water harvesting proposal, flow charts of water balance, effluent discharge treatment plan, details of water supply from other sources and in accordance with the CGWA guidelines placed on the website of CGWB. The Industries/Projects also are directed to submit their applications online. For any further details / clarifications the ground water users are advised to contact the nearest office of the CGWB. Non-compliance of directions of Hon'ble NGT will warrant closure of industries, operation or process or stoppage of supply of electricity or water or any other service, in addition to imposition of costs by Hon'ble NGT for violation of directions. The CGWA has issued public notices dated 14.11.2015 and dated 29.04.2016. in this connection but several industries/projects using ground water have not complied with the directions of Hon'ble NGT. The Industries/Projects are hereby given last opportunity to submit their applications for NOC latest by 31.03.2017, failing which the penal provisions under section 15 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 can be invoked against industries/projects violating the directions.
The last date has been further extended up to 31st May, 2017 - citing the reason that some industrial associations have approached CGWA for such an extension.
Some industrial associations have widely circulated this legal requirement to their members. As a result some industrial units have acted upon to comply with the prevailing rules. On the other hand many industries, even in the surrounding areas of New Delhi, are found to be still unaware about this legal necessity. Those who are aware are in a state of dilemma about the possible consequences, although those are keen for compliance.
Therefore, through my blog https://ecomediaindia.blogspot.in/2017/05/ongoing-unrest-in-ground-water.html I wish to highlight my view point.
Please do not forget to leave Your valuable comment and share in your circle.

Hydrogels are hydrophilic cross-linked polymer chains.
They are formed through physical, ionic or covalent interactions.
Due to hydrophilicity, they have the ability to absorb water and swell growing in weight and size.
Depending on the hydrogel type they can absorb and hold up to even 1500 of their weight. Similarly, they can release this water.
The speed of water absorption depends on the type of the hydrogel. Some of the synthetic polymers can take up to 6 hours to swell to complete hydration while natural ones may require only 2 h.
The volume transitions – absorbing and releasing water may depend on the external stimuli which can be physical (temperature, electric or magnetic field, light, pressure, and sound) or chemical (pH, solvent composition, ionic strength, and molecular species).
Hydrogels have various applications: in agriculture, drug delivery, coal dewatering, food additives, tissue engineering…
Hydrogels are extremely useful in agriculture since they can save water and prevent land erosion.
They prevent the soil from being washed away and hydrate it, helping it retain moisture and increase the water-holding capacity. This makes plants survive for longer periods in drought or require less frequent irrigation.
Frequent and intense irrigation can damage the soil making it erode, form crust or harden. The hydrogel gives soil stability, increases permeability and enables better plant growth.
Adding hydrogels to the surface of the soil increases the soil water-holding capacity and the rainfall percolates the soil quite easily.
Not only this, but they reduce the need of fertilization, since the nutrient loss is prevented by reducing runoff.
Alternatively, some hydrogels are made as fertilizers and even have controlled water release so that the dose of the fertilizer is adjustable in time. The nutrient is available for the plant over a longer period of time rather than a rapid availability that ammonium nitrate, ammonium phosphate or potassium chloride provide.
The controlled or slow release of fertilizers from hydrogels do not have official differences. They are achieved by coating or encapsulating the conventional soluble fertilizers. The coatings can be water insoluble, semi permeable or impermeable with pores.
The same principles apply to pesticides and herbicides.
The use of hydrogels is extremely beneficial in cases where post plantation irrigation is limited.
Water release is controlled so that the fertilizer is released according to plants’ needs.
Hydrogels can be made of:
- synthetic polymers
- natural polymers
- combination of natural and synthetic polymers.
The synthetic polymers are mechanically stronger and durable and can absorb more water. They can, therefore be more efficient in agriculture as they hold more water and lost longer.
On the other hand, hydrogels made from natural polymers are biodegradable and often do not leave any bi-products so they are more environmentally friendly.
Drying out before the next hydration makes the hydrogels less efficient so good irrigation is a necessity for the maximum effect.
It is noticed that in saline soil the hydrogels have lower efficiency.
Hydrogels can be applied by being mixed with the soil or by spraying.
