There have been several government initiatives taken for abatement of pollution in India. Here are three key examples:
National Afforestation Program and Act-2016: The National Afforestation Program was launched in 2016 with the aim of increasing forest cover in the country. The program aims to bring 33% of the country's land under forest and tree cover. The National Afforestation Act, which was also introduced in 2016, provides for the conservation, development, and sustainable management of forests. National River Conservation Plan: The National River Conservation Plan was launched in 1985 with the objective of cleaning up and conserving India's rivers. The plan covers 31 rivers in 14 states and aims to improve the water quality of these rivers. Under this plan, various measures are taken to control pollution, including setting up of sewage treatment plants, effluent treatment plants, and solid waste management facilities. Formation of National Green Tribunal: The National Green Tribunal (NGT) was formed in 2010 as a specialized court to handle environmental disputes and cases related to the enforcement of environmental laws. The NGT has jurisdiction over all civil cases related to environmental issues and has the power to issue orders and judgments related to the protection and conservation of the environment. The formation of the NGT has helped to improve the enforcement of environmental laws and has led to more effective management of environmental issues. The National Afforestation Program (NAP) was launched in 2002 to increase the forest cover of the country and to improve the ecological balance. In 2016, the government of India enacted the National Afforestation Program and Fund Act, 2016 to provide a legal framework for the implementation of the program.
The main objectives of the National Afforestation Program and Fund Act, 2016 are: To increase the forest cover of the country and improve the quality of forests.To enhance the capacity of the forest-dependent communities and to promote sustainable forest management practices.
To encourage private sector participation in afforestation and reforestation activities.
Under the Act, the National Afforestation Program Fund is established to provide financial support for afforestation and reforestation activities. The Fund is managed by a National Afforestation and Eco-Development Board, which is responsible for the implementation and monitoring of the program. The National Afforestation Program and Fund Act, 2016 is a significant step towards the protection and conservation of forests in India. It provides a legal framework for the implementation of the.he National River Conservation Plan (NRCP) is a comprehensive program launched by the Government of India to conserve and rejuvenate the polluted and degraded rivers in the country. The program was launched in 1985 with the objective of improving the water quality of rivers and their ecological health.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
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

12. Introduction
• The term social forestry was first used in 1976 by
The National Commission on Agriculture, when the
government of India aimed to reduce pressure on
forests by planting trees on all unused and fallow
lands.
• Social forestry schemes are initiatives to conserve,
protect and manage forests, shrub lands, and other
natural resources.
• They are implemented by local communities in
collaboration with governments and non-
governmental organizations.
• These schemes aim to improve the livelihoods of
local communities by providing them with
sustainable sources of income and resources.
• They also help to protect and conserve the
environment by preventing deforestation and
degradation of natural resources.
• They also promote the sustainable use of natural
resources and reduce the impacts of climate change.
The 3 elements of social forestry are
effectiveness, efficiency and equity.
13. Types of Social Forestry Schemes
• Social forestry schemes can be divided into two main
categories:
Agro-forestry and Community forestry.
Agro-forestry schemes involve the planting of trees on
agricultural land.
o community forestry schemes involve the management
of forests by local communities.
o Both types of schemes aim to improve the livelihoods
of local communities and protect and conserve the
environment.
o They also promote the sustainable use of natural
resources and reduce the impacts of climate change.
o First social forestry started in Tamil Nadu and Uttar
Pradesh in the riverbank
14. • Challenges
• Social forestry schemes face a number of challenges.
• These include lack of awareness among local
communities, lack of financial resources, and lack of
technical expertise.
• They also face challenges from illegal logging and land
grabbing.
• In order to overcome these challenges, governments
and non-governmental organizations need to provide
financial and technical support to local communities.
• They also need to promote awareness about the
importance of social forestry schemes and the need to
conserve and protect forests and other natural
resources.
16. Ramsar site
• A Ramsar site is a wetland site designated to be of
international importance under the Ramsar Convention also
known as "The Convention on Wetlands", an
intergovernmental environmental treaty established on 2nd
February 1971 in Ramsar, Iran by UNESCO, which came
into force from 21st December,1975.
• It provides for national action and international cooperation
regarding the conservation of wetlands, and
wise sustainable use of their resources. Ramsar identifies
wetlands of international importance, especially those
providing waterfowl habitat.
• As of August 2022, there are 2,471 Ramsar sites around the
world
• Chilika Lake in Orissa and Keoladeo National Park in
Rajasthan were recognised as the first Ramsar sites in
India. There are 46 Ramsar sites in India
Chilika Lake, Orissa
Keoladeo National Park, Rajasthan
17. • Assam has only one Ramsar site wetland, the Deepor Beel.
• DeeporBeel, also spelt DiporBeel, a freshwater lake, is located
to the south-west of Guwahati city, in Kamrup district of Assam.
• It is a listed wetland under the Ramsar Convention in November
2002, for undertaking conservation measures on the basis of its
biological and environmental importance.
• The Ramsar Site of Assam is a wetland of international
importance that is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna.
• It is the largest wetland in India and is located in the state of
Assam. It is an important habitat for numerous species of
migratory birds, reptiles, mammals, and other aquatic creatures.
• The Ramsar Site of Assam is a protected area and is managed by
the Assam State Forest Department.
• The Ramsar Site of Assam is an important source of livelihood
for the local communities, who depend on the wetlands for
fishing, agriculture, and other activities.
