Abstract:

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is the dispersal and optimisation of resource packages like human, financial, knowledge, physical and reputational resources. The motivational factors such as natural resources, market resources, strategic resources, efficiency resources, locational advantages, etc., influenced Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) to perform various activities in the host countries. MNEs internationalise business mainly to acquire intangible assets and for balancing resources which they do not possess. India is in receipt of continuous capital flow due to favourable policy management and a strong business environment. Globally, Indian corporations continually display significantly better equity earnings over other countries both developed and emerging. The Government of India is very keen in simplifying FDI rules with an ultimate aim to attract more investors with zero hazards.

Abstract:

India is indisputably on the advancing front of progress where its hefty natural resources serve the greatest assets to reckon with. The progress of any country is directly dependent upon the quality and quantum of available natural resources with it. For a country like India having vast continentality, these natural resources are catalysts in programs associated with human development and sustainability. However, with the enormous rise of population and dwindling resource pools, the society suffers from critical disturbances in internal security across the country’s length and breadth. There exists a proven causal relationship of a significant association between shocks to natural resources and the intensity of civil conflicts in a region. The episodes resulting from a disrupted state of internal security pose a massive challenge to government functionaries inkeeping pace with worldwide socio-economic development. The obvious choice of Natural Resource Management (NRM) provides one of the promising keys to handle this menace effectively. Thepresent work explores this meticulous strategy of assuring internal security through an improved pragmatism and judicious use of natural resources in states marred with recurring incidences of chaos and human violence. The planning and monitoring of internal security with peoples’ stake depend evidently upon the technical capability of government in handling resources with a vision for Possibilism. NRM, thus, conceptualize a framework of governance where exploitation of resources and sustenance of internal security in India go hand-in-hand prudently. The paper attempts to resolve a deteriorating internal security situation by strategizing a development-cumsustainability approach to keep a large nation safe and secure.

Abstract:

Most of the scheduled tribes live in rural areas, and their livelihood mainly depends on agriculture and forest. Forest and forest-based products remain as their primary resource subsistence. Their pattern of shifting cultivation replaced with settle farming. After the introduction of globalisation, the Indian economy opened its exports and imports to the global market. In the process, the intervention of non-tribal community to the tribal regions has become as one of the problematic policy issues to the traditional tribal communities. The traditional livelihood practices of the scheduled tribes in India affected due to extraction of natural resources. The state controls most of the natural resources that existed in the tribal regions without the consent of the local community. In the context of globalisation and its trajectories across the tribal regions, the current paper discusses how globalisation affects the traditional livelihood practices of the scheduled tribes in India.

Abstract:

An interesting stream of the civil conflict literature has identified an important subset of civil conflicts with disastrous consequences, that is, those that emerge as a consequence of shocks to renewable natural resources like land and water. This literature is, however, reliant on qualitative case studies when claiming a causal relationship leading from renewable resource shocks to conflict. In this article, we seek to advance the literature by drawing out the implications of a well-known formal model of the renewable resources–conflict relationship and then conducting rigorous statistical tests of its implications in the case of a serious ongoing civil conflict in India. We find that a one standard deviation decrease in our measure of renewable resources increases killings by nearly 60 percent over the long run.

Abstract:

AbstractIndia has a great variety of natural stones that have been extensively used as dimension, ornamental and sculptural stone for numerous temples and monuments over many centuries. These temples and monuments, now heritage sites, have a major role in showcasing India's natural stone resources that occur in diverse geological formations of different geological systems across the Indian subcontinent. The formations contain a variety of stone, with colours and textures produced by varied geological processes thus providing a storehouse of diverse stone resources. This paper outlines four potential Global Heritage Stone Provinces where natural stones have been used in heritage monuments: the North and Northwestern Province, the Central and Western Peninsular Province, the Southern Peninsular Province and the Eastern and Northeastern Province. The geotechnical and aesthetic characteristics of the stones, and their response to weathering are discussed.

Abstract:

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges the world is facing today and it has the potential to create havoc with the agrarian livelihoods across the globe. Therefore, this paper attempts to explain the probable impacts of human induced climate change on natural resources in Kashmir, India. An ample amount of literature was reviewed meticulously to ascertain the impacts of climatic variability on natural resources vis-a-vis agriculture, biodiversity and water bodies as well as other common issues related to human resources in Kashmir. Loss of certain indigenous food varieties (i.e. nick cheena), reduction in natural forest cover (less than 11%) and loss of important water resources has aggravated the already dilapidated situation in this most vulnerable state of India. Scientific evidences revealed that there will be more devastating climatic effects on natural resources in Kashmir- India, which will fall disproportionately on poor communities, particularly dry land farmers, forest dwellers and fishermen of the state.

Abstract:

This paper argues that to restore the link between economic history and modern India, a different narrative of Indian economic history is needed. An exclusive focus on colonialism as the driver of India's economic history misses those continuities that arise from economic structure or local conditions. In fact, market-oriented British imperial policies did initiate a process of economic growth based on the production of goods intensive in labor and natural resources. However, productive capacity per worker was constrained by low rates of private and public investment in infrastructure, excessively low rates of schooling, social inequalities based on caste and gender and a delayed demographic transition to lower birthrates and the resultant heavy demographic burden placed on physical capital and natural resources.

Abstract:

Following public debate on the dissonance between tribal traditions of self-governance and modern formal institutions in December 1996, Parliament extended the Panchayat Act to the areas covered by Schedule V of the Constitution. In many parts of India this has facilitated tribal women's legal right to participate in NRM. This paper describes the particular situation in north-eastern India, which is a region of great biogeographic and strategic significance. In the north-east existing customary practices (backed by special Constitutional arrangements or the provisions of Schedule VI) continue to deny tribal women ownership and significant control over local resources. With particular reference to Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram, the paper argues for a reappraisal by tribal women and men of the sharply gender-biased customary practices and constitutional provisions in order to draw out women's power and strengthen their capacity to shape local resource management.

Abstract:

Sustainable development ensures a well-managed utilization of natural resources for the present generation along with preserving it for future usage. Increased rate of population and urbanization is found as major challenging factors in respect of practicing sustainable development activities. Both aforementioned problems are also prevalent in India that disrupts the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals. However, the Government of India has taken suitable initiatives to promote utilization of renewable energy resources by means of International Solar Alliance, Green India Mission, and others. Technological inclusion in this regard would be beneficial in implementing such programmes in an optimum way. Consequently it would ensure preservation of natural assets for future usage and maintain the quality of climatic conditions in a suitable way.

Abstract:

High population growth, increasing urbanization and rapid economic development are exerting pressure on the already scarce water resources in India. Treatment and reuse of wastewater can play an important role in addressing some of the urban water challenges. Conventional treatment plants have many challenges, therefore, natural treatment systems (NTSs) are viewed as a cost-effective alternative, which are more suitable in the Indian context. This study builds on a desktop study of NTSs and presents a rapid sustainability assessment of 12 NTSs, highlighting the potential and viability of NTSs in India. The results show that the NTSs have a high potential for wastewater treatment. However, there are still gaps in knowledge related to aspects that hinder the sustainability of the systems. Risks associated with reuse of treated wastewater in agriculture, operational problems and social acceptance were perceived as frequent challenges. Self-sustaining financing methods and the use of by-products were viewed as added benefits.

Abstract:

India, as a country is very rich in terms of natural resources however as citizens, we have not respected this fact and have been continuously exploiting nature’s gift to mankind. Further as the population is ever increasing, the load on the consumption of resources is unprecedented. This has led to the depletion of natural resources such as coal, oil, gas etc., apart from the pollution it causes. It is time that we shift from use of these conventional resources to more effective new ways of energy generation. We should develop and encourage usage of renewable resources such as wind and solar in households to conserve energy in place of the mentioned nonrenewable energy sources. This paper deals with the most effective ways in which the households in India can conserve energy thus reducing effect on environment and depletion of limited resources.

Abstract:

History bears witness to how resources have become the object of many conflicts and wars between nations. The roots of imperialism and colonialism are embedded in the need for resources. Examples of these resources are both renewable and non-renewable resources such as water, minerals, fossil fuels and natural gas. Out of all these what stands prominent is energy derived from non-renewable resources. With modernization stepping into every aspect of civilized life, energy becomes the criteria to distinguish a developed country from an underdeveloped or developing country. A country brimming with fossil fuels and other natural gases shapes the foreign policy of other nations through export or making others inescapably dependent on it. It is said, then the geostrategic importance of these energy sources increases the status and position of that nation in the global power structure. In this backdrop, the geostrategic importance of Russia in power structure has been analyzed in this paper. For the bourgeoning population and sky-rocketing energy requirements, the energy available in India has not been adequate. For this reason, since independence India has been compelled to be dependent on other energy surplus countries. India's growing and deepening relationship with a reliable Russia can be explained in this light. With exit of western investments in Russia for exploration of energy the Indian companies have stepped in for new explorations and increasing production. This mutuality has strengthened their relations despite tumults in global politics and ongoing Russia's special operation in Ukraine. This geostrategic importance of energy in the friendship between India and Russia will continue till India attains self-sufficiency in producing energy.

Abstract:

Third world environmental policies are increasingly moving towards market-based mechanisms for conservation of natural resources. In India, the Compensatory Afforestation Fund Act, a key element of current policy on forest restoration, reflects this shift. While it has not been explicitly formulated as payment for ecosystem services, this policy relies on the use of market-based valuation techniques to finance equivalent afforestation for diverted forest land by the state. Using a mix of government reports, secondary data and primary survey, this article studies the manifestation of conservation in a hilly, forested and remote region within India and its implications on sustainability and equity for local resource users. The primary data shows the continuing process of encroachment of the commons, commodification and devaluation of natural resources at the local level. Simultaneously, a re-articulated notion of conservation is being used to bring the natural resource sector within the ambit of capital. This article examines the shift in forest policy in Himachal Pradesh, India, the changing relationship of state, local institutions and private investment, and how the articulation of conservation has interacted with policy and practice. As a beleaguered neoliberal capitalist system searches for avenues for profit, this article re-emphasizes the role of a democratic state and the inability of private capital to address social needs.

Abstract:

Human beings interact both with the social world and nature for its survival. Natural resources and Economic base along with Technology are required for the continual improvement of life style and living standard. Up till now the development was achieved by over exploitation of resources which has damaged the environment and we are facing its consequences. A major cause of this situation is the fast urban growth. India is witnessing an unprecndental rise in urbanization in last two decade. But Indian cities are not able to manage the increasing population because of poor urban management and resource constraints. These cities and their residents are fighting again population, lack of safe drinking water, scarcity of electricity and other basic amenities. Population and degradation of social & physical environment is a major issue in most of the cities in India, but at the same time cities are paving a way for a new cultural & economic development. The present study analysis urban and development in India and its impact on environment growth. Urbanization and sustainable development can be achieved if population growth and management of resources are catered properly, unfortunately it is not the scene of Indian urban growth. Thirteen out of twenty most polluted cities of world are Indian cities. We need an immediate control and overview of present trend of urbanization. This research paper is an attempt to identity the major issues of environment in class II &III cities of MP and to explore the path for sustainable development.

Abstract:

The sustainable development is deeply embedded in both national and International scenario, it is a big global problem; therefor India has also keen concern on the protection of environment, development and sustainable development. The depletion of natural sources, industrialization, and urbanization, development of science and technology and also tremendous growth of population are major threat to human survival. Ecology is common heritage for all human being the need of society increase day by day and its effect on the natural sources and environment, natural sources and limited and irrecoverable. Therefore it is a pious, moral and legal obligation and duty on government, judiciary and citizens of India to protect, conserved and preserved the natural resources and environment with sustainable development. The Indian judiciary and Government have emerged as most important tool for promoting sustainable development with protection of environment and natural sources.

Abstract:

This paper evaluates the effects of a public groundwater provision program on water tables in Northern India. I theorize that public provision leads to sustainable use of groundwater when the fixed costs for private well provision are high. I use village-level longitudinal data on aquifers and wells, and exploit the physical and technological limitations of surface pumps that generate a cost difference at a specific water depth to test this model. My findings suggest that public provision can be used as an alternative in scenarios where prohibitive monitoring costs might preclude the use of other regulatory approaches to prevent over-extraction.

Natural dyes have rich variation in sources of dyestuff and possess superior aesthetic quality, which is more pleasing to the eye due to unique natural color. Because of their nontoxic effect, they are used for coloring textile, cosmetics, drugs, and various food products. Although indigenous knowledge system has been practiced over the years in the past, the use of natural dyes has diminished over generations due to lack of documentation. Also, there is not much information available on databases of either dye-yielding plants or their products. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to document the dye yielding plant species and associated knowledge from the study area. Present study provides the first comprehensive checklist of dye yielding Angiosperms of Maharashtra and their resulting color, pigment, and distribution have also been reported. A checklist consists of 195 species distributed among 153 genera and 58 families are presented based on published literature on dye plants, various state and regional floras.

Abstract:

Galbraith termed contemporary America as the ‘Affluent Society’ in which the single-minded pursuit of wealth led to the massive exploitation of resources and materials through the years. Contemporary India reflects the Western ethos while aggressively channelizing the natural resources of the countryside to meet the needs of the urban-industrial sector. From this biased resource-use arises the grave inequalities of consumption within the nation. This paper addresses the dynamics of consumption in the backdrop of the global socio-ecological movement with special reference to the Indian context. It captures the asymmetries in the patterns of consumption in an analytical framework. Based on the culture and styles of consumption, the Indian population can be divided into three classes: omnivores, ecosystem people and ecological refugees. Omnivores have the capability to draw upon the natural resources of the whole of India to maintain their lifestyles. Ecosystem people, rely on resources in their vicinity. Ecological refugees are those ecosystem people who have been displaced from their homes and live in slums. It is argued that the process of development in independent India is characterized by a basic asymmetry between the omnivores and the ecosystem people. While omnivores consume too much, ecosystem people may be consuming much too little. Some of the consequences of this process are: Concentration of decision making in the hands of omnivores. Use of state machinery for diverting natural resources for omnivore prosperity, e.g., through subsidies. Indifference of omnivores to environmental degradation caused by them and passing on their costs to society. Protests by the victims of development. Creation of ‘ecological refugees’ as a result of permanent displacement of ecosystem people. Three key ways to enhance the social power of ecological refugees and ecosystem people are: land reforms, literacy, and health care. These reforms would simultaneously force omnivores to internalize the costs of their profligate behaviour. A retreat of the rich from overconsumption is the necessary first step towards improving the lives of an increasing number of people. One solution for the inequality in fuel consumption comes from the Spanish economist, Juan Martinez-Alier, who suggests taxation of oil consumption in rich countries while subsidizing LPG or kerosene in poor countries. Thus, to allow the poor to ascend just one step up the hierarchies of resource consumption, what is required is a very moderate sacrifice by the rich. It echoes Gandhi's thoughts on environmental ethics: “World has enough for everybody's need, but not enough for everybody's greed.”

Abstract:

In India, since the 1990s, the state has formed numerous locally situated organisations for decentralising governance of natural resources (DGNR). However, these organisations largely remain ineffective in addressing resource issues at the local scale, devolution, and participatory governance. Fishery at Chilika lagoon located in the eastern coast of Odisha, India is not any exception. While the state continues to experiment with different forms of local resource governing organisations, the current article investigates two such DGNR organisations, that is, the Chilika Development Authority and Primary Fishery Cooperative located at Chilika to understand varied issues faced by Chilika fisheries. The article argues that contemporary natural resource governing organisational arrangements at Chilika limit decentralisation, which in practice becomes a mere reduction in the scale of territorial extension.

Abstract:

AbstractWellness tourism is a fast-growing tourism industry segment and major wellness tourism destinations are found in the Asia–Pacific region, including India. The region of Kerala in India has an abundant natural, cultural and entrepreneurial resources for the development of wellness tourism. These resources are centered on the unique and traditional Ayurveda treatment, complemented by impressive natural landscapes and rich cultures and history. Despite the abundance and quality of resources and services provided by a large number of stakeholders, Kerala lacks a branding strategy for differentiating Kerala as a wellness tourism destination to compete in international markets. A stakeholder-based participatory process was developed to co-create a branding strategy, involving a destination audit supported by an online conjoint analysis survey to discover the relative importance of ‘high-level’ attributes associated with Kerala’s wellness tourism resources. The most important attributes are ‘Fits with strategic priorities of the organisation’ and ‘Ability to integrate into wellness tourism packages’. The main resources complementing wellness services are natural features and cultural heritage. This research contributes to stakeholder-based participatory methods for destination branding.

Abstract:

To promote sustainable development of cities and communities, various initiatives on preserving natural resources have been going on for a long time and have increased many folds in recent times all over the world. Sometimes preservation of natural resources results in certain sections of the population being displaced and resettled at some other location. This displacement gives birth to various challenges. If these challenges are not addressed on time, the relocation may not be successful and people may end up coming back to the original place, thereby making the project of resettlement a failure. Besides the preservation of natural resources, there are various other reasons for displacement depending upon the type of project to be undertaken. This study discusses a case of displacement which is caused by the implementation of the project for the protection of the environment, more specifically for the protection of a water body called Dal Lake in the city of Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India.

Abstract:

The exploitation of nature for man’s insatiable desires is analogous to the subordination of ethnic minorities in many third world countries. This has also found resonance in the cinematic representations of the natural environment and the ethnic and racial profiling of people of these countries. The Northeast of India has always found little mention in the dominant discourse of the Indian nation. Along with this, the age-old rhetoric of exploitation of its natural resources and the lackadaisical attitude of the Indian state towards its people has led to a growing sense of alienation among the people of this peripheral Indian land. The matter is further aggravated by the region’s distorted representations in popular Bollywood films. The article offers an ecocritical reading of two Bollywood films about Northeast India to understand how cinematic landscapes can be used to impart ideas about specific places. We argue that the very landscapes the filmmakers use to present ideas about places can be used to highlight the politics of place-based identities and to attempt a critique of their position in the nationalist discourse.

Abstract:

Forests keep our climate stable, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, and they regulate our water supply and improve its quality. Forests are vulnerable to anthropogenic activities which affect the biodiversity and have adverse socio-economic and environmental impacts. Large-scale destruction of the forests began with the British who wished to utilise the timber and the natural resources for the expansion and continuation of the empire. Over recent decades, human activity has also severely impacted the habitats and natural resources that wildlife and humanity depend on such as oceans, forests, coral reefs, wetlands and mangroves. This study attempted to analyse the level of awareness among the general public about deforestation in India. The impact of deforestation is poorly understood and the rate of deforestation is alarming the environmentalists wishing to protect the wildlife and forest resources. The causes and impacts of deforestation are associated with human activities but the linkage is not clearly understood by the public and the level of awareness is poor.

Abstract:

This paper discusses the role of Indian merchants, especially Muslims, in the match trade between Japan and India, and situates the cooperative ventures set up in the middle of the 1920s between Indian merchants and Japanese manufacturers in the context of the economy of the Bengal Bay region. Their inter-regional networks and partnerships were important not just for trade, but also for manufacturing based on the flow of technology, ideas, information, and natural resources. The paper also shows that such ventures unexpectedly caused conflicts with movements in India to promote domestic industry and with the logic of territorial nationalism that lay behind them.

Abstract:

Watershed management is an integrated approach where a balanced utilization of land and water resources for optimal production with least menace to natural resources. Geospatial Technologies can be played an important role for the organization of various natural resources in a watershed. For sustainable development of land and water resources, the Andhra Pradesh State Government is implementing development of watershed programmes on priority basis. The watershed management activities include construction of rainwater harvesting structures, soil conservation measures and environmental protection measures (TAWDEVA). The selected watershed area was Kovvada Kalava Watershed which is a part of West Godavari District of Andhra Pradesh and was identified as drought and flood effected area because of sparse and variable rainfall. Collection of resource data includes digital imageries of study area for two seasons, Survey of India toposheets on 1:50000 scale, and other ancillary data / maps were conceded along with socio-economic data. The other datasets include levels of groundwater from concerned departments etc was collected. Various thematic maps on Settlements and Transport Network, Contours, Drainage Network, Slope, Geomorphology, Lithology, Structure and Land Use / Land Cover were generated by employing Arc GIS platform. After analyzing all maps integrated watershed analysis has been made aiming at generating sustainable developmental measures of land and water resources in the area.

Abstract:

The Economy of India is the seventh largest in the world by nominal GDP and the third largest by purchasing power parity with approximately 7% average growth rate for the last two decades. Although the years 2012-13 and 2013-14 have been disappointing. India needs the path of high economic growth quickly, which is essential because it will generate huge revenue for the government which can be utilized for social welfare and infrastructure program. But rapid growth is not enough, it must be of the environmental friendly nature. Many countries across the world have not taken into account the consequences of some environmental issues such as air and water pollution, climate change, energy use and natural resource depletion. In a recent global assessment approximately 60% of the world’s ecosystem services were found to be degraded or used unsustainably. This is the same case with India. Though its economic performance has brought immense benefits to its citizens as employment opportunities have increased and millions have been allowed to emerge from poverty; India’s remarkable growth record, however has been clouded by a degrading environment and growing scarcity of natural resources. In a recent survey of 178 countries whose environments were surveyed India ranked 155th overall and almost last in air pollution exposure. The survey also concluded that India’s environmental quality is for below all BRIC countries. Also according to another recent WHO survey across the G-20 economies, 13 out of the 20 most polluted cities are in India. As the population grows and urbanizes and consumption patterns change, pressure on the country’s natural resources air, water, land and forests will steadily increase. In fact, in the coming years, pressure on India’s environment driven by both poverty and prosperity, is projected to become highest in the world. In such scenario, there is a need of such low cost policy options that could significantly curtail environmental damage without compromising growth.

Abstract:

As a tourist destination, India gets a highest place in the world. Foreigners arrive to India not only to sight seen or pilgrims, but also for education, medical treatment, and employment. According to the FTA data Indian tourism is being increased annually. Medical tourism is also one of them and India is the 2nd most popular country in this. Especially Man, Materials and Money are the important factors there. India is rich in skilled human resources like medical specialists, paramedical and supportive staffs and laborers. Materi-als also can be found easily due to developed industries and lots of natural resources. High availability of all these factors lessens the cost. As far as medical tourism is concerned, most sub fertile European couples come to India for the help of Assisted Reproductive Technology, where Indian women are used for surrogacy. They select the Indian women for this purpose due the loose-fitting of rules and regulations in India. But after implantation, those mothers are brought to countries like Dubai as anti-natal sex detection is prohibited in India. So, the process becomes reversed. Ayurveda can help to prevent those incidents be-cause Ayurveda has an excellent methodology to make a better progeny with Rasayana, Vaajeekarana and especially in the field of Kaumarbhritya. Ayurveda Acharyas have mentioned the infertility management, Garbhadhana Samaskara, Garbhini Paricharya, Punsawana Karma etc. to have a healthy child with a desired. Hence necessary steps can be taken by the relevant authorities like AYUSH in order to change the Assisted Reproductive Technology in to Ayurvedic Reproductive Technology.

Abstract:

Climate change is widely recognized as one of the most pressing issues confronting humanity today. It is considered to be a direct threat to our food production system including rice. Climate change affects rice production in various ways. The variability in temperature and precipitation increases, predictability of seasonal weather patterns reduces and the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as droughts, floods and cyclones increases. In India, the effect of natural disasters on agriculture, including disasters caused by climate change has been gradually growing. It is believed that during the mid and end century India's future rice production is projected to reduced by 2.5 to 5% from the current level. As there is less scope for rice area to grow in the future, any growth in rice production will have to come only from productivity gains. Since climate change is a continuous process, the rice production system requires specific adaptation strategies to prevent rice yield losses and its variability. Therefore, it's critical to understand how climate change affects rice crop and to follow better production practises including crop establishment methods, water management, weed management, nutrient management and microbial resources utilization that make cropping systems more resilient to extreme weather events. The spread of climate resilient production technologies would benefit rice production systems' resilience.
