200 General Information

In our conscience and consciousness, we can inculcate and adapt a befitting life style that will
prevent further deterioration in our water requirement and food security. Both these components
are extremely jeopardized under changing climate mostly due to anthropogenic activities.
Higher temperatures under global warming will increase water demand by crop, entire
vegetation and all living beings. Where rainfall declines, many will seek more irrigation to ensure
food security and maintain livelihoods. At the same time water supplies available for irrigation
and our daily use with standard levels will become more and more variable and will decline in
many parts of our country and the world as well. There will be strong pressure to produce more
with less water, and to spread the benefits of all water use more widely and wisely.

Most appropriately the students/children are the worst target of these imminent global
food and water deficits. Therefore, a series of lecture-cum-demonstration programme on “Water,
Food and Climate Change” are to be organised among the students to save the mother earth
and all the living beings through raising preparedness essentially covering all categories of
afflicted people, society and all other living beings. Students of today are the soldiers of green
line frontiers of tomorrow. Therefore, appraisal on state of art in domains of water, water related
issues and role of water on food security under changing climate is essential.

201 Title of the Project

Agrasar Lecture and Demonstration Programme on

“Water, Food and Climate Change”
202 Summary (abstract) of the proposed project (in 200 words or less)

India and the world now face one issue so overwhelming, so potentially devastating in
consequence, that nothing less than civilization on our planet is under threat. The teachers must
apprise the students on preventing climate change who inherit the mother Earth as future
citizens. Thus, the future custodians of the planet need to be taught on how to prevent the
global warming through common routine but conscientious efforts. Civil actions must start with
solidarity and dedication but backed by appropriate knowledge. When we accept global
warming is a reality then eventually two components like water scarcity and our food security
come to mind as essential areas for intervention. The lecture programme basing on the recently
held climate change summits at Durban, Cancun and COPs have focused on practical and
feasible options of priority on curbing global warming that will reconcile our water demand and
crop productivity. Comprehensive action plan on conservative initiatives are to be educated at
all levels and India with incentives to adopt and practice now. We must achieve remarkable
reduction in global warming and glorify the Earth Day in April every year to commensurate with
Copenhagan (2009) targets. Practices envisaging 1) Conserve water at home and Institutes, 2)
Strategies for sustainable agriculture with less water, 3) Ensuring optimum water requirement
for all living beings as well as industry, 4) Mitigation options, adoptions and subsidized
availability of water, 5) supply of climate resilient hybrids to ensure higher productivity 6) water
sanitation and health issues, 7) Educate on binding laws, justice and legislation and 8)
Awareness campaign.

203 Objectives of the project – State briefly, clearly and specifically itemized.

Climate change is a truly global challenge. It will impact all ecosystems and human societies,
but in different ways and to different magnitudes. Addressing climate change and related issues
require involvement and action at the local, regional and global level, and education has a
central role to play in understanding, mitigating and adapting to climate change. Global warming
issues are happening now and thus we have to act with urgency. Many environment conscious
organizations in the country must strive to drastically alter the unsustainable resource
consumption habits. It is essential that we also contribute and practice innovative policy
solutions for water and food conservation and adopt environmentally sustainable efforts
worldwide.

Hence, the main objective of the programme is to raise scientific awareness among the students
about climate change, its adverse impact on our eco-system with special reference to water and
food production under changing climate. International peace can only endure on water security.
Awareness campaigns will serve to stimulate further discussion on water security and
underscore the importance of water security in addressing a multitude of challenges: from
health to education, industry to ecosystems, human rights to economic development and
growth; among so many others yet most importantly the food security.

Through series of lectures and demonstration programme, following essential

components/subjects have to be systematically addressed. Agrasar Lecture Series will focus on
the role of education in addressing climate change, linking the local, regional and global
contexts with particular emphasis on the challenges faced by humanity in District level islands.
Main objectives are:
• Global water scenario, oceans, rivers, lakes, aquifers, water bodies, surface and
underground water
• Water cycle, water availability, utilization under changing demography and coping with
water scarcity.
• Phenomena like run off, recharging underground water, acceptable quality of water,
water borne pollution, access to safe and drinking water at affordable cost
• Water related disasters like flood, drought, pollution, unusual disasters (Uttarakhand) like
cloud burst.
• To promote effective integration of climate change education into educational
programmes and school curricula emphasizing judicious use of water
• Water sanitation common, easy yet effective procedures, hands on water quality testing
• To mobilize support for teacher and lecturer training on climate change education;
• To enhance the exchange of experiences and good practices on economic use of water
and sustenance of agriculture as influenced by climate change like water shade, rain
water harvesters etc.
• To identify opportunities for using various networks to the advantage of teachers,
lecturers, students and associated schools, college networks to encourage local field-
based education on climate change; and
• To contribute the establishment of Eco-clubs on climate change education and practices.
 To develop potential on resilient exigency preparedness to threats of weather, floods,
conservative use of water resources
 To organize awareness campaign on environmental law, justice & governance
 To develop interest and enthusiasm for planting, herbal kitchen gardens, conserve
biodiversity
 To charter Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), opportunities and challenges.
 To educate on role of NGO and response of Government on eco-friendly strategies

205 Duration of the project:

5 months (Total 50 lecture and demonstration programme will be organized during this period)
206 Project background – State briefly the background and origin of the idea on
which the project proposal is based.

Water scarcity threatens the sustainability of the natural resource base. Then there are the silent
crises, the millions of people deprived of the water they need to live and to sustain their
livelihood. As population increases and development calls for increased allocations of ground
water and surface water for the domestic, agriculture and industrial sectors, the pressure on
water resources intensifies, leading to tensions, conflicts among users, and excessive pressure
on the environment. The increasing stress on freshwater resources and the balance between its
threshold water requirement for all living beings is a serious concern.

Global warming already disrupts millions of lives daily in the forms of destructive weather
patterns and loss of habitat. Hundreds of millions of people may be exposed to famine, water
shortages, extreme weather conditions like drought and irregular precipitation. The proposal
outlines ways and means that we can adopt on economic and judicious water use to optimize
food production. While humankind has the ability to destroy the planet, they can also help
protect and sustain it.

India is a country which is and will continue to be severely impacted by Climate Change
precisely at a time when it is confronted with huge development imperatives. We would,
therefore, expect adequate space we require for accelerated social and economic development,
in order to eradicate widespread poverty, endeavours for ecologically sustainable development
Is obvious.

Our organization is involved in PROBE-Orissa Programme of Deptt. of Science & Technology,

Government of India and very much concerned with the issues relating to climate change and
global warming. For last few years, we are listing to students and teachers expressing that it is
important to have lecture and demo series on the issues relating with climate change. We
realise the importance of this programme and the best way to do this is to have experienced
and trained professionals always on our hand to visit the schools as a Guest speaker. Women &
Child Welfare Society also organized 20 numbers of Agrasar Lecture and Demonstration
Programme on Global Warming and Mitigation Options in Cuttack, Kendrapada and Jajpur
districts with different topics related to climate change 20 numbers of Agrasar Lecture and
Demonstration Programme on Climate Change: Challenges and Opportunities in cuttack,
jagatsinghpur, khurda, mayurbhanj and Sonepur district and 10 numbers of Management on
Scientific Awareness of Emerging Adolescence Problems in cuttack, jagatsinghpur, khorda and
sonepur district. This programme was Catalyzed and Supported by Rastriya Vigyan Prodyagiki
Evam Sanchar Parishad (RVPSR), Department of Science & Technology, (DST) very
successfully.

207 Experience – Mention briefly similar projects undertaken with details such
as title, date of commencement, supporting agencies (s) , outcome,
whether ongoing or completed etc, Please enclose copy/ copies of
sanction letter(s).

The organization has been appointed as Technical Resource Centre (TRC) by DST under
PROBE-Orissa Programme. The programme involves opening PROBE Weather Laboratories
within the school premises in which the students are encouraged to take and record daily
weather observation. From weather data base created by school children, the DST will utilize
the PROBE data for research in universities on the topics aiming a water management, climate
change, disaster mitigation, biodiversity as well as optimization of water resources for life
sustenance in terms of various usage of water and its contribution to food productivity. The
natures of scientific problems proposed to be studies under this project are extreme weather
conditions like cyclone,flood,drought,heat wave,change in moonsoon pattern etc. it is envisages
that better laboratory facilities at secondary level need to be created for reaching higher levels
of achievement in science. WCWS organized numbers of Agrasar Lecture and Demonstration
Programme on Global Warming and Mitigation Options in Cuttack, Kendrapada and Jajpur
districts with different topics related to climate change Agrasar Lecture and Demonstration
Programme on Climate Change: Challenges and Opportunities in Cuttack, jagatsinghpur,

208. Justification for undertaking the proposed project.

The students in these districts are yet to be adequately yet scientifically educated about the
climate change and its impact on water and food for livelihood and sustenance. The teachers
and students of these coastal districts should develop awareness of higher magnitude as these
areas are more vulnerable to sea level rise risks and prone to flood, submergence, drought,
usable water scarcity with extremely serious aberrations to life and impacts on food productivity.
Therefore, preparedness will eventually emerge from the grass root level knowledge which
through various modes is envisaged in the programme.

Climate Change: Challenges and Opportunities in Management on Scientific Awareness of
Emerging Adolescence Problems etc. have been organized by Smt.Minati Bindhani very
Successfully in Odisha state.

As a coordinator of Cuttack city she also conducted different activities on identified themes
namely water and sanitation,health and nutrition,environment and biodiversity
conservation,disaster preparedness,soil management,information technology under the Year of
Scientific Awareness-2004. She also conducted series of science workshop for science
teachers and students.

Presently she is implementing PROBE-Orissa Programme of DST in 15 identified secondary

schools as a Co- Principal Investigator. The programme involves opening a PROBE Weather
Laboratory within the school premises in which the students are encouraged to take and record
daily weather observations.From weather data base created by school children the DST will
utilize the PROBE data for research in universities on the topics aiming at water management,
climate change, disaster mitigation, bio-diversity as well as meso-scale modeling studies to
supplement our efforts in achieving better local forecasts. Through participation in PROBE in
different schools, young minds will be exposed to scientific intricacies of weather, will be moved
to pursue science as a career and will develop better understanding to take safety measures
from weather related hazards. The natures of scientific problems proposed to be studies under
this project are extreme weather conditions like cyclone, flood, drought, heat wave, change in
monsoon pattern etc. It is envisages that better laboratory facilities at secondary level need to
be created for reaching higher levels of achievement in science.
