Hyderabad: The ‘Mission Kakatiya’ programme will get the attention of the international community at the crucial global summit on ‘Climate Change’, which began on Monday in Paris. The summit, attended by over 190 countries, will discuss the revival of tanks, and promotion of ecological systems around the water bodies in Telangana State.
A detailed report had been prepared by the EPTRI (Environment Protection Training and Research Institute) on the impact of the Mission Kakatiya on environment. It includes, balancing natural resources ie., flora and fauna, preservation of water bodies and creation of sustainable avenues for the livelihoods of people living in the villages.
Top sources in Telangana government told The Hans India that the EPTRI Director General B Kalyan Chakravarthy would make a detailed presentation in one of the workshops on ‘Climate Change- Water Bodies’ organised in the two-week long summit at the international venue. The EPTRI Director is part of the Indian delegation attending the summit along with former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh. Increased agricultural activity, promotion of pisciculture, increase of groundwater levels and declined pollution levels in and around the revived water bodies are also included in the presentation.
State government has launched the Mission Kakatiya with an objective to revive around 45,000 tanks, the lone water bodies addressing the needs of village people in the T State since decades.
The other important issues like GIS mapping and geo-tagging of all natural resources, social fencing of the boundary at Full Tank Level (FTL) around ponds and lakes against encroachments, community-based disaster management and peacetime preparations, enforcing environmental regulations in urban development and awareness and creation and empowerment of stakeholders, discussed recently at a workshop conducted jointly by the EMPTRI and Interco-operation India, will also figure in the presentation.
The workshop was conducted on Friday and sought suggestion from green entrepreneurs, industries and international development agencies. The suggestions were given on three broad thematic areas- urban infrastructure and green building, Integrated Solid Waste Management and Sanitation (Swachh Bharat) and Environmental and Social Impact Assessment in urban development were also taken into consideration and these issues are likely to be placed in the presentation.
