NATIONAL SEMINAR ON HUMAN RIGHTS - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AT KRR GOVT. COLLEGE,KODAD DURING 20-21ST JANUARY 2017

Dear All

The KRR Government College, Kodad has organized the National Seminar on "Human Rights - Environmental Protection (HREP)", during 20-21st January 2017.  I had an opportunity to be part of this and presented the invited talk on "Healthy Environment - Opportunities for Sustainable Development".

The Abstract of the same presentation is pasted below as:
.................................................................
Healthy Environment works as a platform for Development with better Sustainability and Quality. Such environments are well connected with the human rights with better space and access. Effectiveness of Human Rights works to lead for the duty to respect, the duty to protect, and the duty to fulfill and supports for clean, healthy, protective, wealthy, and accessible environments. Utilization of resources supports for people oriented development. The move towards business oriented development resulted for unethical challenges including marginalization, migration, or isolation of larger group of population with poor quality of life. Exploitation of land, soil, water, mineral and other resources added with poor resettlement and rehabilitation affected the health and wealth of the people as well as the environment sometimes making irreversible. The challenges of global warming and climate change are visible all over the globe and threatening the human survival itself. The SWOT Analysis of development results for challenges on one side and open gates for opportunities to work with innovation and creativity. All such challenges forces to look for better alternatives as a solution. The shift from welfare to development to empowerment to rights; relief centric to risk reduction; top down to bottom up approaches; single to multidisciplinary; receivers to ownership or partnership; physical to technological connectivity; and other changes has resulted for change in the service delivery systems with more of rights based strategies and interventions. Sustainable Development Goals gives more thrust for human rights as a tool to address environmental issues. The Non Governmental Organizations plays a key role to facilitate between governments and people with a toll of empowerment on life cycle basis. The community initiatives and models suggested are simple, replicable, sustainable and scalable to the dynamics of given environment.                

Key Words: Development, Empowerment, Environment, Rehabilitation, Rights, Sustainability, Quality.

Looking forward to do more in this direction. .

CHALLENGES WITH MIGRATION AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR INCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENT

Dear All

Please see the abstract of the paper published in the National Journal as: 
...................................................................
Migration’ has to be seen as two side of the same coin having advantages on one side and challenges on other side. It works with twin purposes of catering the basic needs for larger population and business or image building for smaller group. It has got several challenges which create unhealthy environments. Development achieved is not uniform for all the people over the geography and instead confines to selected groups and thus widens the gap between the rich and poor. Such gap results for violence and crime and majority of the people struggles for their basic needs. The need of the hour is to accept these challenges and to transform them into opportunities. The opportunities are many to put a check for unhealthy migration by way of creating healthy, wealthy and empowered environments with better accountability and transparency. Use of ICT and other technologies with better access improves the access with connectivity to work on real time basis. CSOs work with Government, Private, Corporate and Financial Institutes to empower the targeted groups and thus to work for their inclusion with better sustainability and quality of life. The opportunities as initiatives are simple, flexible, replicable, scalable and sustainable to control the migration with better monitoring and evaluation in the given environment.
