Problems of hill states and hill areas and ways to ensure that they do not suffer in any way because of their peculiarities - Report of the Task Force - Planning Commission

This report by the Task Force, constituted by the Planning Commission, Government of India in April, 2008, is an outcome of the need expressed by the Prime Minister of India for a fresh analysis of the problems of the hill states and hill areas of the country in a manner that suggests that these areas do not suffer in any way on account of their peculiarities.

Opinions have been expressed that the pace of development of the Indian Himalayan Region (IHR) has been slow when compared to the rest of the country. At the same time, its fragile nature and difficulty of taking up conventional development initiatives has not been appreciated. In this report, arguments have been presented recommending reshaping of policies to bring in the “mountain perspective” for the IHR, in the national planning. Emphasis has also been laid on developing norms for good governance and for harnessing social capital at the grassroots.

Social impact assessment of resettlement & rehabilitation policies and packages in India - Report of a research project by Centre for Social Development

This report is the outcome of a research project by the Centre for Social Development (CSD) for the Department of Land Resources (DoLR). The National Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R&R) policy, issued in 2007, recognizes the need to carry out Social Impact Assessment (SIA) as part of the resettlement planning and implementation processes. While an assessment of social impacts prior to the commencement of a new project or expansion of an existing is now obligatory under this new policy, the appropriate guidelines for the purpose do not yet exist. This handbook on conducting social impact assessments aims to fill this gap.

Greenhouse gas emissions from India - A perspective - Current Science

This paper published in Current Science analyses the improvements made in greenhouse gases (GHG) inventory estimation reported in the Initial National Communication by India to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) with respect to the earlier published estimates and highlights the strengths, the gaps that still exist and the future challenges for inventory refinement.

Climate change arising due to the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere since the pre-industrial times has emerged as a serious global environmental issue and poses a threat and challenge to mankind. The UNFCC enjoins upon the Parties to the Convention to protect the climate system according to their common, but differentiated responsibilities. The parties to the convention are also required to report to the convention on a regular basis, a comprehensive and comparable inventory of anthropogenic greenhouse gases and the steps taken to protect the climate.
