The document proposes a solution to convert municipal solid waste into energy in urban areas of India. It estimates that 55 million tons of solid waste is generated annually in urban India. The solution involves segregating, collecting, and treating waste to produce syngas via pyrolysis, which would then be used to generate electricity. This waste-to-energy process could help address India's increasing energy demands while reducing waste and pollution from landfills. The proposal estimates the system could generate 3 megawatts of power per day from treating 300 tons of waste and create over 500,000 jobs.
This document summarizes the National Drinking Water Mission in India. The key points are:

It had two phases, with the first from 2005-2008 focusing on providing clean drinking water, especially in areas affected by arsenic or fluoride. The second phase from 2009-2012 continued this work. The 12th Five Year Plan launched new initiatives like raising rural water supply coverage to 55 liters per capita daily and ensuring water access within 100 meters for 50% of rural people. It also introduced the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan in 2012 to promote rural sanitation and total sanitation in villages, and the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan cleanliness campaign was launched in 2014 with the goal of a
Water and sanitation access in rural India remains inadequate, with investments and local government institutions being weak. While access to improved water supply increased to 84% by 2008, access to improved sanitation was just 21%. Responsibility largely lies with state governments, while the central government regulates policy. Community-led programs aim to eliminate open defecation by 2017. Decentralized, demand-driven approaches to water supply have shown lower costs and better service quality than traditional centralized models. However, low water tariffs and cost recovery remain a challenge.
This presentation proposes solutions to improve access to clean drinking water and sanitation in India. It is presented by 5 students from Shankersinh Vaghela Bapu Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar. The presentation discusses current issues regarding water supply and sanitation in both rural and urban areas of India. It then proposes concepts for solutions involving installing water treatment plants, bio-gas generators, and "toilet malls" to provide clean water and sanitation facilities while addressing sustainability and funding challenges. Metrics are provided to measure the impact of the proposed solutions.
Why is Feacal Sludge and Septage Management important for Urban India? - Shub...Centre for Policy Research
This document discusses why faecal sludge and septage management is important for urban India. It notes that over 50% of India's population still practices open defecation, posing major public health and economic risks. As India urbanizes and more homes transition to toilets connected to on-site systems, the need for proper emptying and treatment of faecal sludge will grow. International policies and programs now emphasize the safe management of sanitation systems. National policies and programs in India are also increasingly focusing on sanitation and providing funds for related infrastructure projects. Proper faecal sludge management will be critical to achieve goals of improved sanitation and public health across urban areas of India.

The Ganga is the largest and most sacred river in India, flowing through several major cities. It has become severely polluted over time due to industrial and religious waste, as well as untreated sewage. Previous efforts to clean the river dating back to the 1980s had limited success due to budget constraints, public illiteracy, and resistance to the idea that the Ganga is polluted. In 2014, the government launched the Namami Ganga initiative, allocating over $3 billion over 5 years to clean up the river through improved coordination, infrastructure investments, and establishing an eco-task force. The program aims to finally achieve the goal of cleaning the holy Ganga river.

Evolución histórica del derecho musulman aguario perla
El documento describe el desarrollo del derecho musulmán en Arabia antes y después del Islam. Antes del Islam, Arabia estaba organizada en tribus patriarcales que seguían religiones politeístas y resolvían disputas con árbitros. Tras la revelación del Corán a Mahoma y el establecimiento del Islam, surgió una nueva ley basada en el Corán pero que no abolió completamente las costumbres árabes. El Islam se expandió rápidamente bajo el liderazgo de Mahoma.

Comparing Census 2011 and Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) data_Argyam_2013India Water Portal
According to census data, the number of rural households without toilets in India grew from 1.08 million in 2001 to 1.16 million in 2011, an increase of 884 million. However, the rural sanitation scheme reported much lower numbers of households without toilets in 2011. When actual 2011 census household figures are used, the rural sanitation scheme's reported coverage of households with toilets drops from 79.9% to 65.7%. To achieve total rural sanitation according to 2011 census numbers, expenditure would need to be 9.4 to 18.9 times more than what has been spent from 1999 to 2011.

WaterAid India's position paper highlights that while sanitation is now firmly on the national agenda in India, coverage remains low, especially for the poor. Key challenges include social and economic barriers to behavior change, lack of access for marginalized groups, and weak implementation of government programs. The paper calls for policy reforms prioritizing the needs of the poor, including a national sanitation policy, integrating water and sanitation programs, strengthening local institutions, and expanding capacity building efforts. It emphasizes sustainability, community participation, and addressing socio-cultural factors over narrow target-based approaches.

Sri Lanka; Promoting Domestic Rain Water Harvesting in Sri LankaV9X
The Lanka Rain Water Harvesting Forum (LRWHF) was formed in 1996 to promote rainwater harvesting in Sri Lanka. Through demonstration projects, training, and influencing policy, LRWHF has helped over 30,000 rainwater harvesting systems to be installed. In 2005, Sri Lanka adopted the world's first National Policy on Rainwater Harvesting due to lobbying by LRWHF. The policy aims to encourage communities to manage their own water resources. While LRWHF has successfully promoted rainwater harvesting rurally, further efforts are needed to address costs and change perceptions to ensure proper, long-term use of these systems.
Patna City Plastic Waste Management brochure Arvind kumar
UNDP India in collaboration with Hindustan Coca Cola Beverages Pvt. Ltd. (HCCBPL) & Patna Municipal Corporation has established a Plastic Waste Management & Processing plant at Gardani Bagh . This initiative is designed to minimize the impacts and risks to environment and human health, by enhancing sustainable Plastic Waste Management practices, through a socio-technical model (segregation/collection/ recycling).

Spanning boundaries? Articulations and negotiations of urban regeneration in ...Centre for Policy Research
This document summarizes a presentation on urban regeneration in Delhi's informal settlements. It discusses how regeneration is conceptualized as a two-way process of articulating aspirations for change within the context of state-led development. Fieldwork was conducted in two settlements, examining relationships between residents, RWAs, politicians, NGOs and other actors. Key findings include residents negotiating basic services and housing improvements. Regularization is expected to provide tenure security and access to financing. The concept of "boundary spanners" is introduced to analyze how different actors interface between communities and government to enact change, with relationships characterized more by avoidance than cooperation.
When, to Whom, and How People Marry in Delhi NCR: Patterns of Intergeneration...Centre for Policy Research
The document summarizes findings from a survey conducted in Delhi NCR on patterns of marriage across generations. Key findings include:
1) The average age of marriage has increased over time, with fewer underage marriages. Respondents expect the average age to be mid-20s.
2) Acceptance of inter-caste and inter-religious marriage has slightly increased between generations but remains low. Inter-caste marriages are more common among wealthier households.
3) Arranged marriages are still dominant but respondents expect young people to have more say in partner selection compared to past generations. Self-arranged marriage generally refers to situations where families approve of partners youth select.
This document analyzes grievance redressal and inequality of access to intermediaries in urban areas with weak state capacity, using data from Delhi. It finds that intermediaries are disproportionately from higher castes and religions compared to citizens. Citizens from disadvantaged groups are less likely to know, approach, and get issues resolved by intermediaries. The wealthy are also better able to access services through intermediaries. This suggests intermediaries engage in elite capture rather than equal representation.
This document summarizes the spatial transformation of Delhi NCR over time through analysis of maps, images, and population data. It outlines 3 stories: place, space, and people. For place, it examines how definitions of Delhi and NCR have changed boundaries over time. For space, it uses remote sensing images to analyze increases in urban footprint and decreases in green spaces as NCR has urbanized. For people, it looks at changing population distributions and religious demographics in NCT and NCR over decades. The document concludes there are visible increases in urban infrastructure across NCR and multiple heterogeneities seen through mapping, with interconnected growth between NCR and NCT requiring further exploration.
This document summarizes a survey conducted by Badrinathan & Kapur (UPenn) on how urbanization affects attitudes in the National Capital Region of India. The survey measured social change through attitudes, perceptions, behaviors and outcomes. It examined the impact of wealth, migration, demographics and politics on attitudes regarding caste, religion, gender and social interactions. The results showed that wealth increased social interactions, while migration decreased reported social behaviors but this was likely due to migrants having less access to diverse social networks in their segregated neighborhoods.

It also examines voting patterns among communities like Muslims and Scheduled Castes, as well as trends in voter turnout and party vote shares over time.
This document from BP provides an overview and analysis of global energy trends through 2040 under various scenarios. It finds that:
1) Electric vehicles could make up around 15% of the global car fleet but provide 30% of transport kilometres by 2040, supported by shared mobility and automation.
2) Global oil demand growth may plateau in the 2020s and then decline, depending on the pace of efficiency gains and fuel switching, with transport electrification a major influence.
3) Renewable energy will continue growing rapidly, having the potential to provide over 40% of global power generation by 2040 if policies strongly promote renewables usage.
'Collective action(or not)the informal septic tank emptying markets in Delhi'...Centre for Policy Research
This document summarizes research on the informal septic tank emptying markets in two Delhi neighborhoods. It describes the emergence of small-scale businesses providing this service and the socioeconomic characteristics of the entrepreneurs. The businesses are organized differently in the two areas - collectively in one and non-collectively with competition in the other. Financial details are provided on costs, revenues and profits. While collective organization ensures faster cost recovery, customers have less choice and competition helps new entrepreneurs less. Both models exploit workers. The work faces social stigma.

This document discusses the relationship between air pollution and vehicles in India. It finds that vehicle emissions are projected to significantly increase levels of particulate matter and other pollutants by 2030 without intervention. Current challenges include outdated vehicle standards, use of dirty fuels, lack of effective inspections, and real-world emissions exceeding lab tests. Road congestion is exacerbated by low-density development patterns and limitations of public transit compared to private vehicles. Shifting more freight transport from road to rail could help reduce energy use and emissions given road freight's high fragmentation in India.

This document discusses the high burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in India and the link between air pollution and increased risk of CVD. It provides the following key points:
1. CVD is the leading cause of death in India, with rates higher than global averages. Major CVDs include IHD, cerebrovascular disease, and hypertension.
2. Risk factors for CVD like hypertension and diabetes are rising dramatically in India and projected to affect hundreds of millions by 2030.
3. Existing evidence suggests air pollution likely increases the risk of CVD and its risk factors through mechanisms like endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and increased blood pressure.
4. Research aims to better characterize the associations between long-term air

This document analyzes election results from Gujarat in 2012 and 2017. It finds that while the BJP remained in power, their seat count dropped from 115 in 2012 to 99 in 2017 despite their vote share remaining similar. The BJP saw lower strike rates in rural areas compared to urban areas, indicating growing urban-rural polarization. Caste politics are being replaced by issues of rural economic distress and lack of access to amenities as more important factors.
The Last Metres (L100M): Safeguarding Potable Water Provisioning to Urban Inf...Centre for Policy Research
The document summarizes research on safeguarding potable water provision to informal settlements in Dhaka, Bangladesh and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. It discusses a methodology called "The Last 100 Metres" (L100M) that focuses on the space between water distribution points and homes. The research aims to reduce faecal contamination of water by expanding water safety plans and addressing local sanitation issues. Key findings indicate water is relatively safe until entering slum communities, but becomes highly contaminated within homes. The document concludes improved sanitation is more effective than water quality alone, and a sustained, multi-pronged approach is needed to tackle the issue.
Horizontal and Vertical Inequalities Explaining Disparities in Access to Urba...Centre for Policy Research
1) The document analyzes disparities in access to urban sanitation in India using data from the National Sample Survey of India.
2) It finds significant variations in access to sanitation across factors like household income, caste, location in slum/non-slum areas, and access to public infrastructure like drainage. Higher income households, non-SC/ST social groups, and households in non-slum areas with access to closed drainage have higher probabilities of access to sanitation.
3) There are also significant state-wise disparities, with states like Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu showing larger inequalities in access between slum and non-slum areas compared to
This document discusses sanitation from an economic perspective. It covers topics like sanitation as an economic good, demand for sanitation, the public good dimension of sanitation infrastructure, and challenges around inclusion and scaling up sanitation access in India. The document references different frameworks and approaches for analyzing sanitation, including political ecology, behavioral economics, and network effects. It aims to provide a well-rounded and flexible framework for understanding sanitation that integrates different actors and allows for local analysis.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
