Urja Arpan is an initiative Tata Power-Delhi Distribution Ltd. launched to promote responsible and optimal electricity consumption. The initiative aims to encourage individuals and organizations to adopt energy-efficient products and services and to inspire citizens to practice a sustainable lifestyle for a greener future.
The air pollution effect is perennial to the local vendors who are present near the monument and are impacted due to the outdoor air pollution near the monument. Thus, apart from the initiatives to curb air pollution, it is also essential to create awareness about the issue amongst the people whose existence depends on the monuments. Thus, an awareness drive along with the EDF to sensitize these people about the issue, its impacts and individual initiatives that can help in reducing the health impacts and subsequently the impact of air pollution on the monument.
The alarming levels of air pollution in major cities across India have raised serious concerns about public health. It is a problem that demands a united effort, spanning global, national, regional, and individual levels, to combat. The Clean Air Project (CAP) in India, supported by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), is a crucial initiative aimed at improving air quality, enhancing well-being, and mitigating climate change impacts.
The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), is implementing a programme of ‘Strengthening Climate Change Adaptation in the Himalayas (SCA-Himalayas)’, in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), NITI Aayog, Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the state governments from couple of years in India.
TERI in partnership with The Incubation Network and Be Waste Wise (BWW) developed the State of Waste Management Report outlining current waste management practices carried out by selected cities and also puts forward the best practices undertaken by other cities in the country. The report provides recommendations to city governments for effective municipal solid waste at the city level and also includes a gap analysis from the discussions held through the workshop and public sessions held as a part of the initiative.
TERI is committed to offering expert training across various research fields to enhance the skills of both professionals and students. These courses aim to provide individuals eager to expand their knowledge and competencies in the sector with access to cutting-edge information.
The project aims to address and provide solutions towards three-dimensional interlinked challenge of declining ground water, increasing electricity consumption and rising fiscal burden of power subsidy on agriculture. In order to achieve the said objective, the project intends to help Government of Punjab and Punjab State Power Corporation Ltd (PSPCL) pilot the DBTE scheme in three selected feeders in Punjab and refine the scheme on the basis of the learnings from this pilot for its wider implementation across Punjab.
The project focuses on unlocking wastewater treatment, water reuse and resource recovery opportunities for urban and peri-urban areas in India. In collaboration with Central, State and local stakeholders and supported by industrial partners, the project aims to deliver cost-effective and energy-efficient solutions for the treatment and reuse of wastewater with resource recovery. The objective is to create policy and social support for innovative technologies and concepts through stakeholder engagement.
Coal continues to remain the mainstay of India’s energy portfolio mix. The climate change considerations and the increasing competitiveness of cleaner sources of energy are likely to increase the momentum of the transition towards non-fossil fuel-based sources. According to an estimate, this move would impact approximately 13 million people who are dependent on coal either directly or indirectly for a livelihood.
