SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT – AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR GEOPHYSICS
ABSTRACT
The process of globalization along with the
technology certainly brought the development but it is not uniform over the
people and geographical area. Further exploitation of natural resources with
the main motto of profit has resulted for several environmental challenges and
disasters with poor sustainability and quality. Continuation of such process
has affected the health & wealth of the people & environment which is
alarming to the stakeholders for taking up need based measures. Among the
natural resources, water, minerals and land are the worst affected with
over exploitation, wastage, mis-utilization, pollution, ineffective planning,
monitoring & evaluation, poor conservation, and other consequences resulted
for poor productivity and thus lowered the quality of life of the people with
poor sustainability. The Society at the receiving end feels that technology is pushing
them towards marginalization with vulnerabilities with poor access for their
critical needs which is the clear indication of gap or limitations in
transforming the technological results from LAB to LAND. Under these
unfavorable dynamic circumstances, Geophysics has got several advantages as
opportunities to balance the health & wealth of natural resources, people
and environment with better sustainability. The opportunities listed for the
utilization of geophysical tool are need based with the focus on water without
which there is no life and access for water has become the fundamental right.
The paper presents the better use of geophysics for people to improve their
productivity and quality of life with sustainability.

ABSTRACT
The
poor access for training, rehabilitation and skill development have forced Persons
with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (PWIDDs) as marginalized and
out of the inclusive development. The study aims for creation of livelihoods
for PWIDDs as an empowerment. It is the fact that poverty, disability and
development are the cause and consequence of each other and further deepens
poverty. The disability rehabilitation has transformed from charity to welfare
to development to rights based model. Under these circumstances, the need of
the hour is to develop need based service delivery system with innovation and
creativity. The methodologies adopted are need based matching to the skills,
needs and vulnerabilities of PWIDDs. The multidisciplinary approaches are
effective in enhancing their skills which further improved their employment opportunities
and livelihoods. Some of the trades include: Paper Plates, Gel Candles, Phenyl,
and Ornamental Items. The process has created significant impact in the lives
of PWIDDs along with their parents. The employment / livelihoods created have
resulted for inclusion in the community as an empowerment both socially and
economically with better sustainability and quality. This is a case study and
the models are participative, flexible, replicable, scalable and sustainable
with innovation.
Key Words: Rehabilitation, Livelihoods, Empowerment, Quality
of Life, Sustainability.

ABSTRACT
Key Words:
Disability, Identification, Intervention, Mainstreaming, Special Education.
Disability,
Poverty and Development are the cause and consequence of each other which
further deepens the poverty with vulnerabilities which are complex and dynamic
in nature. Under these circumstances and in the absence of matching services,
supports, protection and security, the Children with Special Needs (CWSNs) do
face several challenges to be part of the inclusive community and thus forces
them to be isolated and marginalized including invisible at all levels. In
spite of several Disability Acts and Polices which supports for Disability
Legal Frame, Training, Rehabilitation, Schemes and Benefits, still CWSNs are
facing several challenges to be in the mainstream like their normal
counterparts in the same community. In addition, increase in disability
population alarms the stakeholders that the existing prevention measures are
not effective. The study reveals the challenges of the CWSNs and ways to
transform them into opportunities with need based strategies and interventions.
Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) having several advantages works for
effective mainstreaming as a part of community development. The limitation of
having less human resources of CBR can be minimized with the combination of
regular and distance mode of special education. The suggested measures have
been tested, implemented and monitored in both urban and rural environments and
are flexible, scalable, replicable and sustainable.

ABSTRACT
Key
Words: Cleaning, SWOT, Health, Wealth, Disasters, Development, Sustainability,
Quality.
Unethical way of exploiting the
natural resources with mad rush for business oriented development has lead for
several vulnerabilities for hazards & disasters which are complex and
dynamic affecting the health & wealth of the people & environment. Some
are irreversible reducing the sustainability & quality of the development.
The Clean India Campaign is the need of the hour and everyone should
participate with concern and commitment. The concept of Clean India should be
seen as two faces of the same coin to clean physical environment and governance
– systems. The Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities & Threats (SWOT)
Analyses of Clean India reflects that present situation has affected the health
of the people & environment on one side and development with poor
sustainability & quality on the other side. As a solution, community
initiatives with better coordination along with Civil Society Organizations
(CSOs) & (Panchayat Raj Institute (PRI) helps to resolve the issue with
better problem solving solutions as managers of the model of Design,
Implementation, Monitoring & Evaluation (DIME). Mobilizing the resources
with better Availability, Accessibility & Affordability (3As) with the use
of technologies helps to improve the Responsibility, Accountability &
Transparency (RAT). It is the qualitative with interactive & observational
study with samples from the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The
conclusions made are very much pertinent and give clear picture about the frame
work of proposed and expected. Recommendations have been made for effective
participation with the use of research and technologies which are expected to
create effective service delivery systems with good governance.
