ABSTRACT

Population, Resources and Development are the cause and consequence of each other. Increase in population puts more demand for the resources and services and affects the sustainability of the development. The service delivery systems do influence the distribution of resources over the region and people. The increase in population from 2001 to 2011 is much significant and do not expect corresponding increase in resources in fact they get reduced both quantitatively and qualitatively. The population density is much higher compared to that of average population density of world. The shortage in resources, mad rush towards business oriented development, and luxury living affects the availability Vs demand Vs supply of resources and higher wastage results for several challenges with marginalization and isolation.  The search for better solutions emerged for several opportunities which work for healthy development of the people and environments with better ownership to the local people and communities. The community initiatives and best practices adopted have resulted for better outputs and are simple, replicable, scalable and sustainable matching to the dynamics of the given environment.     

Key Words: Population, Resources, Development, Opportunities, Access, Sustainability, Inclusion, Environments.

Statement of the Problem

The increase in population and shift towards business oriented development demands more resources, services and supports which affects the mission of FOOD for ALL, ACCESS for ALL with poor Quality of Life. 

Recommendations

Based on need and dynamics of the population, resources and development with the targets of the Nation, recommendations made includes:

1. Support for Mapping and development of data base with better access with the support of tools & technologies.
2. Encourage Students for Project and Research works in association with the community.
3. Efforts should be made to control the population with healthy population density with optimization of resources and development.
4. Encourage Non Governmental Organizations to work with the Government and Private on partnership basis for better sharing and distribution of benefits of development over the region and people.
5. Encourage for social auditing with better participation, accountability, responsibility & transparency with ownership.

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.

The Organizers have brought out the Souvenir with Abstracts and Soft Copy of the Full papers. The printed form of the Full papers is expected to come out shortly.  

It was a good experience to be with the organizers and other delegates, students and others. 

Looking forward to do more in this direction. . 

AT EVIDENCE AID SYMPOSIUM ON 20TH SEPT 2014

Dear All

The Evidence Aid, an international funding agency working in the areas of disasters has organized one day Symposium in Hyderabad on 20th Sept 2014 and i could get the opportunity to be part of this. 

Yes, day by day, disasters are becoming biggest barriers to achieve the development with sustainability and quality. Now it is concern of all the stakeholders is to review, think, plan, implement, monitor & evaluate the measures so that the health and wealth of the environment will be protected with lesser vulnerabilities for disasters of any such disturbances. 

The event well on well with presentations on the disasters, interventions, research, review, etc...on what things have occurred. This has become the lessons to move forward with the effective measures / strategies for prevention, mitigation and disability risk reduction (DRR).....

The suggestions made includes: assessment of impact on the groundwater with the mapping of saltwater-freshwater interface, suitable harvesting / watershed management so that water can be made with improved 3As which stands for Availability, Accessibility and Affordability.     

The event came to end with points for moving forward in general and specifically the Evidence Aid.         

Looking forward for improving the health & wealth of the people & environment....

MORE ON DCT

Dear All


See more points on DCT as:

The author has brought out the advantages and disadvantages of Direct Cash Transfer (DCT) under Dash for Cash (16-31st Dec. Down to Earth and congratulations for the same.

It is the fact that DCT certainly helps to minimize the cost of service delivery system (SDS) which was expected quite high compared to the amount or benefit reached the people.

DCT may not completely stop the migration instead it may enhance the migration.

It may increase the dependency rather than independence.

The sustainability of the DCT is another challenges and creates uncertainty among the people.

Assured income some times may lead for confinement and further poor development.

Enhancing the cash resources alone may not help the people to create livelihoods in terms of both quantitatively and qualitatively.

Social Auditing may help the DCT for better utilization and effectiveness in reaching the targeted people.

DCT should also ensure for the availability, accessibility and affordability (3As) of the matching inputs for developing livelihoods with better sustainability.

In site of the challenges and disadvantages, still DCT can be made effective with the better accountability, participation of the stakeholders at all levels in transparent environment.

Looking forward.................

with thanks
