In the course of the last two decades, the Supreme Court has tried to regulate the use of India s forest resources, has passed orders on the type of fuel to be used by urban public transport, has controlled appointments to the higher judiciary and has even claimed the power to declare constitutional amendments invalid. This volume traces the ideological direction that the Supreme Court has charted over the last two decades. It examines the nature and origins of this expansion of its power and the transformation in the Court s worldview. It focuses on a time when many feel that the Supreme Court has become more conservative: it looks at the Court s conservative stand when it compares slum dwellers to pickpockets, orders the interlinking of rivers in the name of national progress and reasons that tribal populations will benefit from mining of their lands among others. The essays provide an account of this shift within a larger narrative that identifies the precise manner in which these changes have taken place. It looks at the emergence of judicial sovereignty that appears to be honouring its commitment to the oppressed and bewildered in name only.…

Tan, Endang Jati Mat Sahid and Y.P. Leong. 6. Practicing sustainability in Malaysia/Rosnida Binti Mohd Yusof. 7. Energy status and strategy for renewable energy in Mauritius/Ashley Purmanund. Energy efficiency and conservation are important elements of energy planning and policy as these are aimed at the reduction in per capita energy consumption and energy demand and offsetting the increase in energy supply needed to keep up with the population growth. This strategy also reduces the rise in energy costs and the need for energy imports. The reduced energy demand can provide more flexibility in choosing the most preferred methods of energy production. Energy conservation facilitates the replacement of non renewable resources with renewable energy. It is often the most economical solution to energy shortages and is a more environmentally benign alternative to increasing the energy production. Energy efficiency represents a cost effective approach to raising profitability, enhancing competitiveness and improving environmental performance. The possibilities range from relatively simple and low cost process modifications to sophisticated and more costly investments in pollution prevention technologies.…

Hardcover. Etat : New. The end of cold war and the on-going globalization process along with the proliferation of non-traditional threat to security of the nations led to multilateralism in international relations. Though the great powers are not ready to accept the new developments, the post-cold war events such as threat from non-state actors to the security of nation, the global economic slowdown, and global climate change compelled even the most militarily powerful nation to seek multilateral approach to address these trans-border menaces. The global movements towards democratization and protection and promotion of human rights supported by ICT once again brought individuals rights and security into focal point. It appears that even if nations are secure people living there may not be secure. The civil wars taken place in some nation states to protect the rights of multi-ethnic groups or the demand for right to self-determinations of people are examples of such a situation. In this context security means people's security and international efforts are required to ensure people's security from any threat emanates from within or outside the nation states. Thus human security assumes great significance in the post-cold war era of profoundly interdependent global system. There is a blurred boundary between national security and international security on the one hand and the national security and human security on the other hand. The initiative taken by the new government at the federal level towards good neighbourhood and better relation with great powers along with focusing more on human security issues appears to be policy in the right direction. Again the shift from a land centric security paradigm to maritime security and coastal security are also visible in recent times. The book deals with the changing dimensions of security at the theoretical level and a wide spectrum of security issues that India is confronted with and also certain policy options. In the theoretical section the strategic doctrine of India is well reviewed and policy options are also explored. It covers areas such as biological perspective of security, human security perspective, energy security and maritime security. In addition it also examines some of the bilateral security issues and concerns with neighbouring countries.…

Hardcover. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : New. 1st Edition. Contents: Introduction. 1. National Security: The Changing Dimensions. 2. India's Maritime Security Concerns. 3. India's Maritime Security: The Policy Options. 4. Coastal Security of India: A Coastal Community and Legal Perspective. This book focuses on various aspects of maritime security of India. Starting with the changing dimensions of national security, it addresses the issues such as non-traditional threats to security, the threat posed by non state actors, the causes of insecurity and also the imperatives of tackling the human security challenges. The need for a comprehensive change in India's security policy is well exposed and certain policy prescriptions are also given. The oceans are generally meant for better inaction among nations, especially in the era of accelerated pace of globalization. With regard to the coastal security of India the role of coastal community is significant. The needs for inculcating awareness among the coastal community on coastal security matters as well as infrastructure development along the coastal area are also emphasized. It is very important to look into the basic problems of coastal people as they face many human security challenges. When we look into the coastal security a convergence of the national security concerns and human security concerns is visible. The overall development of the coastal area would lead to better human security and better human security would result in enlisting the support of the coastal community to ensure national security programme, especially the coastal security. In short, coastal security is not only about protecting the coastal terrain and territorial waters from direct attacks by the state actors or non state actors, but also safeguarding the interests of all stake holders.…

Hardcover. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : New. 1st Edition. This book provides a fresh perspective on review of the NRHM and its performance during the first phase 2005-12. The contributions here focus on different aspects of the Mission and draw lessons from state level experiences on issues including population stabilization, infant mortality and child health outcomes, front the health workers, community participation and decentralization. While reviewing aspects of rural health, the chapters specifically aim to elicit the key concerns that deserve sustained policy focus and concerted engagement within the public health systems at all levels. However, without undertaking anything in the nature of a summary of its contents, this introductory chapter aims to reiterate some of the specific concerns from the NRHM implementation as well as policy strategies. This book is divided into three sections: First, we briefly review the progress made during NRHM phase-1 in terms of key indicators of maternal and child health, viz. maternal mortality, infant mortality, antenatal care visits, institutional delivery, and immunisation. Second, we draw upon our field experience based on the NRHM monitoring and interactions with health officials, beneficiaries as well as our observations during our visits. We highlight the specific concerns in programme implementation. In our view, these concerns are common to several other states of the country and are corroborated by findings of the various chapters on performance of the NRHM across states. Finally, we document some of the broader strategic concerns that deserve policy attention. Notable among this is the need to focus on population stabilization and strengthening of primary health care system. Besides, the role of community participation (including the private sector) appears to be rather discrete and therefore, attention is drawn towards such intricacies. The case of heavy internal migration and exclusive understanding of migrant health is highlighted as an area for policy attention. In conclusion, we draw attention on the importance of good governance as a cross cutting theme and suggest for effective management at all levels. (jacket).…

India has 9.06 millions of Pigs and more than 40% of them are in north eastern India as per 20th Livestock census. There is a decline of 1.23 million of pigs compared to previous census. Pigs are mainly reared by economically disadvantaged people in the society. This reduction in pig population may be attributed to diseases affecting pigs and in turn lack of knowledge about their management. Delay in management of diseases affecting pigs causes huge economic losses. We do not find a comprehensive information on pig diseases and their management in Indian perspective at one place in one book. Many Researchers, Academicians, Veterinary officers and students conversed that there should be a book on Pig diseases and their management referring to the scenario present in India and also to be written by academicians, researchers working on different diseases of Pigs and their management in India. This is how a thought process flowed into selecting a topic on Pig diseases and their management and experts were selected to scribe on topics of bacterial, viral and parasitic diseases of pigs and their management.…
