Central Silk Board, implemented Catalytic Development Programme (CDP) during 10th Five Year Plan in order to boost the sericulture sector in the country. The larger goal of the programme was to enhance the production of raw silk in the country and fulfill the domestic demand of raw silk. Under CDP various activities/schemes are being implemented in mulberry as well as non-mulberry sectors in 23 states of the country. The major objectives of the study are to evaluate the performance of various schemes implemented in different states in pre cocoon as well as post cocoon sectors.

The international workshop focuses on inter-linkages between climate change and sustainable development, particularly in the context of developing countries. Identifying the gaps in understanding of these critical issues, the workshop explores the analytical tools to improve understanding of these linkages and assist countries to integrate climate change concerns into strategies for sustainable development. The workshop is being organized jointly by the UNDESA and the MoEF on 7 & 8 April 2006.

The main objectives are: (1) Utilization of effluent in greening wasteland due to microbial support. (2) Increase effluent use in minimum area under disposal. (3) Soil reclamation through microbial activity. (4) Use effluent waste water for plant irrigation in the given substrate that is better supportive to plant growth due to microbes. (5) Decrease effluent loading area through high consumption of effluent. (6) Reduce percolation of effluent into surrounding fields and wells due to less surface area loading by using the technology developed by TERI.

The role of institutions in natural resource management is being increasingly recognized in the context of global environment change. Policy research and analysis carried out by institutions working in these areas normally focuses on international or national mechanisms and programmes. While it is accepted that these programmes contribute significantly to causing and confronting global environmental changes, the role of local institutions cannot be ignored. Therefore, it is necessary to study their role and build the capacity of local communities to environmental changes.
