with a rich forest cover making
the air fresh.Whereas Delhi
because of stubble burning,
traffic exhaust and many more
reasons is very much polluted.
The air quality index of Sikkim
classified it in a good state
whereas AQI classified delhi in a
unhealthy or poor state.

9. ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
AND PEOPLE’S CONTRIBUTION IN CONSERVING
ENVIRONMENT OF SIKKIM-:
• Forest and Environment Department (formerly Forests, Environment and
Wildlife Management Department) is mandated with control and
management of forests, environment and wildlife; creation, control and
management of National Parks, Wildlife Sanctuaries, gardens, forests
works, construction and maintenance including check posts, forest rest
houses, saw mills, machinery and equipments, enforcement and
implementation of Acts and laws related to Forest, Wildlife and
Environment and host of such other activities of the State. The State of
Sikkim has the largest recorded forest land area covering 82.31% of its
geographical area. Reserve Forest, Khasmal and Gorucharan are the
three categories of forest in the State.
10. • Khasmal forest is forest land settled
and set aside by the Government for
meeting the bonafide domestic need
of timber, firewood and fodder of the
resident of adjoining villages. The
ecosystem services provided by the
forest are indispensable. People earn
their livelihood from the forests. It
provides food, water, shelter, air, non
timber forest produce, minerals,
building materials, carbon
sequestration, heat control,
environment pollution abetment.
11. ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
AND PEOPLE’S CONTRIBUTION IN CONSERVING
ENVIRONMENT OF DELHI-:
• Climate - New Delhi (India) In New Delhi, the capital of India, the climate
is subtropical, with a very mild and sunny winter, a very hot season from
mid-March to mid-June (which can be considered as the summer), and a
sultry, rainy period from late June to late September, due to the
monsoon.Overcrowding and the ensuing overuse of scarce resources
such as water put heavy pressure on the environment.
12. • The city suffers from air
pollution caused by road dust
and industry,with comparatively
smaller contributions from
unclean engines in
transportation, especially diesel-
powered city buses and trucks,
and 2-wheelers and 3-wheelers
with two-stroke engines.Another
known cause of pollution is slow
moving traffic due to frequent
pedestrian crossings.
13. AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES AND LATEST
AGRICULTURAL TECHNIQUES OF SIKKIM-:
• In January 2016, Sikkim became India's first “100 per
cent organic” state and today, all farming in Sikkim is
carried out without the use of synthetic fertilisers and
pesticides, providing access to safer food choices and
making agriculture a more environment-friendly
activity.
• But when Delhi-based non-profit Centre for Science
and Environment (CSE) visited 16 farms spread over
the four districts of the state—North Sikkim, South
Sikkim, West Sikkim and East Sikkim—in November
2016, it found that the farmers’ experience of organic
farming was far from satisfactory.The findings of this
survey hold lessons for the rest of the country.
14. AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES AND LATEST AGRICULTURAL
TECHNIQUES OF DELHI
• Rapid urbanization and the growth of trade and industry have
reduced the significance of the agriculture sector. Agriculture
and allied activities contribute about 1.48% to the Gross State
Domestic Product of Delhi at constant prices (1997-98). The
share of agriculture and allied activities has declined sharply
from 4% in 1993-94 to 1.48% in 1997-98.Only 2.85% of the
total work force in Delhi was engaged in the primary sector in
1991. This is in sharp contrast to the rest of the Indian
economy where more than 60% of the total work force was
engaged in agriculture and related activities.Crop intensity is
an index of agricultural development and is directly related to
irrigation facilities. The following statement that crop
intensity in Delhi ranged from a minimum of 121% to a
maximum of 143% during the period 1992-93 to 1996-97.
