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.
 

COURSE FEES:  Rs 15,000 for developers, government officials and consultants, Rs 10,000 for academicians, NGOs and researchers, Rs 7,500 for students

 It was Pepsi 8 years ago and now it’s Maggi, both popular brands in controversy. So who is to blame? The manufacturer for not being wholly transparent or the consumer for not taking interest to know what he is consuming. In a way both, I would say. As consumers, we are blindly purchasing many products based on price and sensory perceptions. We hardly take a little time and effort to know what is getting into our digestive system or what we apply to our body. People do a lot of product research on cars, TVs, mobiles, jewelry and so on, but never on the most essential items that affect our daily lives- food and personal care. If we look at the adverse impacts that these can have on our health, if not chosen properly, it is appalling. On an average each one of us come in contact with about 30- 40 chemicals a day by use of soap, detergents, toothpaste, shampoos etc. An almost equal number of chemical based or synthetic ingredients could be ingested by us through fast foods, processed foods, soft drinks, colored fruits etc.

                                                So why are we becoming vulnerable to such potentially toxic stuff that can harm our health and well-being? I think its lack of proper information and our own callousness. But how do I get information that is genuine and easy to understand (often the declared information on product packaging is difficult to understand and sometimes too small to read that people simply rely on the brand name)? With internet on hand, this job is easier than before. One can go to government sites like Food Safety Authority of India, APEDA, Agmark and HACCP. But there are hardly any noteworthy sites that give product specific information to consumers that enable them to make informed purchases. Ecochoice provides such information and tries to put up products after some amount of due diligence. So Consume with Care!

we are planning to arrange an intensive 5-day training program for Mine industry ( HSE + management ) . we are looking for a qualified partner  , individual or  institution, from India to conduct this training in Khartoum - Sudan.  pls contact us at prandys@gmail.com  thnx

The film looks at the wilderness of the Himalayan region with special reference to Nepal. Nepal fosters an incredible variety of eco systems and is a hotspot of bio diversity. While depicting the natural beauty of Nepal, the film also projects the 'community forests' concept in Nepal which has proved a success in maintaining the wetland area of "twenty thousand lakes", a paradise for bird watchers.

The concerns facing wildlife protection are projected in the overall role it plays in the ecology of the entire area. The evolution and extinction of species is looked at in the backdrop of the spectacular natural history event by which the Himalayan mountains were formed sixty million years ago. Digital animation techniques have helped visualize the event.

Unchecked mining in the forested hills causes floods during monsoon and water shortages during the dry season. Decrease in primary and secondary forest area is posing a question mark on the future of the Bengal tiger and in particular the Asian elephant in Nepal.
