by ailenme

Economic growth in Madhya Pradesh is hampered by environmental degradation and the depletion of natural resources. The Environmental Management program looks at developing/enhancing the capacity of the mandated institutions in addressing the environmental challenges by enhancing their capacity to address the challenges more effectively and efficiently.

The main goal of the NGOs in Madhya Pradesh Gwalior, Bhopal, Jabalpur, Indore, Sagar, Ujjain is to enable mandated agencies of the provinces to enhance the role of district governments to:

  • Build capacity at the district level so that each district can feed into provincial plans (for instance, in the province’s urban areas the major environmental priorities include: air pollution, road traffic noise, and accidents.
  • In the coastal areas, on the other hand, they are: massive sea intrusion, erosion, and salinization hinder agricultural productivity, etc.);
  • Engage with mandated agencies to maintain LEAD Pakistan’s presence and visibility in this arena;
  • Involve with political leadership and the corporate sector to influence the better implementation of laws in support of an environmental management system.
  • Engage citizens/civil society to support a judicious environmental management system at the district level.

Major Initiatives under this Programme

Water is a resource that is integral to economic development. With a rapidly growing population that is dependent on this resource, it is incumbent upon policymakers to seriously consider the grave threat that water shortage can pose. A study by the M.P research in Water Resources reveals that Madhya Pradesh will face absolute water scarcity.

Several NGOs in Ujjain, through its Water Program, are bringing back the focus on a broader range of values that society realizes through the water. The main NGOs in Ujjain aim is to incorporate social, economic, and environmental aspects into water discourse, policies, and programs at national and international levels. The program has been started given the importance of water in an era of massive power disparities between actors, inequitable resource distributions, and climate change vulnerabilities. The program comprises the focus areas of Groundwater Droughts and Transboundary Waters.

The program framework is based on the following three cross-cutting thematic areas:

Equity

A non-Profit Organization’s thematic area of “equity” in water implies the right to a minimum amount of water for basic human needs plus the assurance of procedural fairness and transparency in the provision of this basic human right.

Hazards

Non-Government Organizations’ thematic area of “hazards” attempts to recast water resource planning and policy to build resilience and address vulnerabilities likely to be accentuated by the water-related disaster. Major Initiatives under Climate Change Programme.
