Impact Investment in Mini Hydropower, Indonesia 2013Eric Stryson
Produced in partnership with IBEKA, award winning NGO working for 20+ years to support community organization, operation and ownership of small scale hydro power plants in rural Indonesia. The plan proposes an innovative scheme whereby communities are incentivized to protect forest and water catchment resources as a means for long term viability of facilities, and lower risk for investors. State power company PLN has expressed an openness to providing premium tariffs in such cases.
It is a time when we should take the responsibility of our action. Don’t let the unplanned development spoil the balance of the environment. Evaluate each progress and advancement and learn how this will affect the eco-system. A development earned at the cost of nature will surely cost us more that we can imagine.

“UNEP” – United Nations Environment Programme (Projects In India)- By Pranav ...Pranav Gupta
This Article assesses the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in terms of its history, structure, and projects in India majorly focusing on low carbon transformation. In the context of global environmental issues and the international organizations set up in response, the Article explores the institutional and political reasons for UNEP's standing to meet all expectations in India. The Article reviews UNEP programmes and their success in India.
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) in Nepal bring together the government and private sector to address development challenges. This collaborative approach, particularly in areas like infrastructure and healthcare, aims to leverage private sector efficiency and innovation. While PPPs offer opportunities for accelerated development, challenges such as regulatory frameworks and risk allocation need careful consideration for successful implementation. Overall, these partnerships play a crucial role in mobilizing resources and creating sustainable solutions for Nepal's evolving needs.
Th is brochure highlights the best practices followed under the
program and reflects the impact of the roads on the lives of people living in diffi cult geographical terrains in Himachal Pradesh (HP) and Rajasthan. The rural roads sector, which is a State subject, also
lacked adequate planning and management due to
poor coordination between multiple funding streams
and agencies. Investing in rural roads was given low
priority and viewed in isolation from the need for
State and National Highways.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
