Abstract: India ' s electrification rate is reported to be at 75 percent, which indicates that one-fourth of the populations still lack access to electricity. The total electricity generation during 2013-14 was estimated around 961 billion units (BU) (excluding renewable), with thermal contributing more than 80 percent of total generation in last few years. The energy shortage has been recorded at 4.2 per cent and peak deficit has been recorded at 4.5 percent during 2013-14.Some of this peak deficit and also less dependence on fossil fuel-based energy can be achieved by maximizing the use of renewable sources of energy. Municipal waste-to-energy projects form a key link to address some of this demand, as it has been estimated by Niti Aayog (Planning Commission earlier) that prosper segregation and processing of municipal waste has the potential to provide 439 MW of power from combustible municipal waste and 72 MW from power generated from digestible municipal waste.

Abstract: Globally, the year 2014 saw extreme weather events, causing massive damage to people and property. While, countries such as Australia, Africa, and Brazil suffered from unprecented drought conditions, the biggest tornado hit the USA, strong storms devastated Philippines, and massive floods deluged Pakistan. Sadly, such erratic events have now become regular and take place in some part of the world or another. The ever growing energy demand and uncontrolled fossil fuel resource use have resulted in unabated emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other noxious gases. Such uncontrolled discharges are the root cause for climate change. Now, there is a visible change in the outlook about the looming climate vagaries that threatens and causes concern to all of us.

Keywords: People, Care, Think, Environment.
Abstract: Lack of community input an involvement in environmental and resource policy development and management creates community indifferences to environmental issues and problems as a result of resource use with communities ' embracing ' the benefits of development and ' ignoring ' the negative impacts. They ' see ' these negative impacts as a responsibility that the government should address. The government, in turn, may have little knowledge of the priorities of the communities and the degree to which the public recognizes environmental concerns to have direct implications on the quality of their lives.

Abstract: Nowadays, using the term ' green ' might appear nothing less than a fad but a closer look reveals the multifaceted intricacies of this concept. Cities are the building blocks of a stable economy whose development to a large extent, depends on the infrastructure and services. From a drop of clean drinking water to clean vehicular facilities, infrastructure in an urban city is crucial in formulating a robust strategy towards sustainable development. Transport is one such essential aspect, which generates a wide array of environmental, social, and economic outlays. There is a growing consensus that transport is responsible for nearly a quarter of global energy-related carbon-dioxide emissions [United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), 2011].

Abstract: The record efficiency was achieved in outdoor tests in Sydney, before being independently confirmed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) at their outdoor test facility in the US. The work was funded by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and supported by the Australia-US Institute for Advanced Photovoltaics. (AUSAIAPV). ?This is the highest efficiency ever reported for sunlight conversion into electricity,? UNSW Scientia Professor and Director of the Advanced Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics (ACAP) Professor Martin Green said.

Abstract: Growing urban complexities present themselves as opportunities for environmentalists, urban planners, architects, and policy-makers to work together in order to make our current and future growth sustainable. To preserve the balance between green and grey, many central and state government approval bodies have been formulated. However, despite these measures, there seems to be a link missing vis-?-vis attaining the equilibrium, as can be seen with urban growth trampling the environment with increasing building cover in urban and suburban areas. The existing systems are obviously facing problems in attaining the goal of balance and sustainability. For a system to work properly in the set environment, implementation is a major factor which often becomes a setback in a developing country such as ours. Implementing a policy and making sure that it is performing as intended can be achieved either by incentivizing or penalizing the end-user. It has to be understood that rules and regulations exist for the safety and well-being of users. With each new regulation in place, we find ourselves trying to find innovative solutions to bypass the enforcement of these rules.

Abstract: Power is the basic key for growth of any country ' s economy. The increased demand of electricity, need to optimize the utilization of power generation capacity and increase in the interconnections are the major issues with which power sector is dealing with. Energy consumption per person is also rising tremendously in developing countries. However, installing a new power plant cannot be a solution every time. Dense population, availability of land, initial and installation cost can be the major issues in this case. Huge transfer of power from generating plants to load centre at long distance with bulky transmission lines is causing to upgrade voltage class to Exrtra High Voltage (EHV) from High Voltage (HV).

Abstract: The power transformer is the pivotal device of the power system. Insulation is the major component, which plays an important role in the life expectancy of the transformer.DGA of insulating oil is universally used and considered as an important indicator of a transformer ' s overall condition all over the world. Power transformer windings are most commonly insulated with multiple layers of insulating cellulosic paper and immersed in mineral insulating oil. Transformer life known to us is based on the designed parameter with respect to normal operation and climate conditions. To determine the performance an aging of the asset, insulation behaviour is a main indicator.

Abstract: Rudrasagar Lake (situated between 23?29`10? to 23?32`52? N Latitude; 91?17`23? to 91?20`04? E Longitude) also known as Rudijala, is a natural sedimentation reservoir, which receives flow from three perennial streams namely, Oacherra, Durlavnaraya cherra and Kemtalicherra (Murthy et al., 2013). After settling of the sediment from the received flow, clear water discharges into the river Gomti through a connective channel namely Kachigang. Rudrasagar is an oval-shaped lake with maximum water spread area of about 8.16 sq km during monsoon. Its size reduces to 1.0 sq km during dry season. The depth ranges from 1.5 to 2.5 m during dry season and 7.5 to 8.0 m during highest monsoon season. This Lake has an area of 688 ha with a perimeter of 68 km.

Abstract: The Sambhar salt Lake in India is an alkaline type lake. It is situated between 26?51`56? to 27?03`19? N Latitude; 74?53`30? to 75?14`14? E Longitude on the east of the Aravalli hills in Rajasthan. It has an area of 24294 ha with 229 km perimeter (Murthy et al., 2013).The lakebed varies from 1181 feet to 1196.76 feet above the mean sea level. The Sambhar Lake is the largest natural salt lake in Rajasthan and covers an area of 230 sq km. It is a typical shallow saline wetland of Rajasthan located near Sambhar village; the average depth of the Lake 3 metres in the monsoon while in pre-monsoon it becomes<100 cm. A large part of the lake dries up during summer and that helps in manufacturing salt from ground water. There are thousands of salt plans constructed towards the periphery of the Lake.
