Certificate Course on Integrated Waste Management

Certificate Course on Integrated Waste Management

JUNE 20, 2018
With rapid urbanisation and rising consumption of goods and services, India is facing a massive waste management challenge. Every year, urban India produces 62 million tonne (MT) of municipal solid waste, 31 MT of which is dumped onto landfill sites. Figures for recycling are abysmal; for instance, only 1.5 per cent of e-waste is recycled. Plastic waste management has also become a huge challenge. The need of the hour is to shift the focus of waste management towards processing and resource recovery.
Anil Agarwal Environment Training Institute (AAETI) recognises this need and offers this advanced five-days training programme on ‘integrated waste management’. The objective of the programme is to provide a better understanding of the key aspects of management of solid, plastic, bio-medical, construction & demolition (C&D), and electronic waste; the technologies involved in their treatment; the legislative framework; and the stakeholders involved.
CSE has been working on policy and implementation regarding waste management at the national and global levels. In 2016, the Centre published Not in My Backyard, a seminal report on the existing status of waste management in the country.

portuguese nationality for goans

According to Portuguese law, Goans born before 1961 retained Portuguese citizenship after 1961 unless they officially renounced it. What that actually means is that those born in Goa before 1961 are still Portuguese citizens even today according to Portuguese law. However, since the birth records were left in Goa after the brutal invasion by the Indian army in December 1961, the Portuguese authorities are not aware of the existence of these Portuguese citizens in that part of the world. The fact remains that they are indeed Portuguese citizens according to Portuguese law and full Portuguese/European citizenship rights are available to them if they wish to avail of those rights. In order to avail of those rights, you need to register your birth in Portugal. So, this completely disregards what Indian law may say or claim about the subject. It completely disregards the pressures from UK and other European countries in closing the doors to these Goans. You need to understand the difference

Mother-of-Pearl Shell Windows - Architecture of Goa

Windows have several significant roles to play. Primarily, they help in filtering air and sunlight provide a passageway for them, however they remain an artistically explored part of Goan Architecture. In some Goan houses the window screens are fashioned out of nacre they remain characteristic of the traditional upper - classes. It is unclear where or when exactly these type of windows originated. However, thenacre of the mother-of-pearl shell was preferred over glass as it allowed for a subdued filtered light to come into rooms of a house while affording privacy. This gave windows in Goan homes a warm, translucent look from the outside while cutting off the light's glare on the inside. While superior quality timber was often reserved for the production of altars and fine pieces of furniture in Goan houses, the timber used for windows was inferior in comparison. The nacre of the mother-of-pearl, which is otherwise a waste material, was then cut into lozenge shapes and slid int
