Completed Projects
Concurrent evaluation of Naharkatia-Jaipur-Khonsa Road
June 10, 2004 to
July 31, 2006
The objectives are (1) to examine whether the assumptions made during the project formulation/appraisal are still valid or whether adjustments are required to achieve the overall project objectives; (2) to track the progress of the development activities during implementation; (3) to suggest for corrective actions in case of shortfalls or deviations;(4) to determine systematically and objectively the relevance, efficiency and effectiveness of the development activities and their impact on the intended beneficiary; (5) to come up with the present status of the implementation of the schemes andEvaluation of the Catalytic Development Programme of Central Silk Board, Government of India
September 21, 2005 to
July 31, 2006
Central Silk Board, implemented Catalytic Development Programme (CDP) during 10th Five Year Plan in order to boost the sericulture sector in the country. The larger goal of the programme was to enhance the production of raw silk in the country and fulfill the domestic demand of raw silk. Under CDP various activities/schemes are being implemented in mulberry as well as non-mulberry sectors in 23 states of the country. The major objectives of the study are to evaluate the performance of various schemes implemented in different states in pre cocoon as well as post cocoon sectors.Energy-Economic-Environment modelling to support climate change assessment and policy-making in India
March 1, 2005 to
July 28, 2006
The objectives of the study are to (1) determine the options and costs of controlling emission of GHGs (greenhouse gases) in the energy sector, (2) determine the set of policies and strategies that would steer the energy sector and the economy at large towards optimal use of energy resources.Climate Change and Sustainable Development: an international workshop to strengthen research and understanding
September 1, 2005 to
July 14, 2006
The international workshop focuses on inter-linkages between climate change and sustainable development, particularly in the context of developing countries. Identifying the gaps in understanding of these critical issues, the workshop explores the analytical tools to improve understanding of these linkages and assist countries to integrate climate change concerns into strategies for sustainable development. The workshop is being organized jointly by the UNDESA and the MoEF on 7 & 8 April 2006.Disposal of black liquor waste water through high rate transpiration system using selected species of plants and mycorrhizal fungi
May 1, 2004 to
July 10, 2006
The main objectives are: (1) Utilization of effluent in greening wasteland due to microbial support. (2) Increase effluent use in minimum area under disposal. (3) Soil reclamation through microbial activity. (4) Use effluent waste water for plant irrigation in the given substrate that is better supportive to plant growth due to microbes. (5) Decrease effluent loading area through high consumption of effluent. (6) Reduce percolation of effluent into surrounding fields and wells due to less surface area loading by using the technology developed by TERI.Role of institutions in global environmental change
August 18, 2004 to
July 6, 2006
The role of institutions in natural resource management is being increasingly recognized in the context of global environment change. Policy research and analysis carried out by institutions working in these areas normally focuses on international or national mechanisms and programmes. While it is accepted that these programmes contribute significantly to causing and confronting global environmental changes, the role of local institutions cannot be ignored. Therefore, it is necessary to study their role and build the capacity of local communities to environmental changes.Dissemination workshop on Unlocking Oppertunities for Forest Dependent people
