Our Oman Correspondent

OMAN's expat populationhas decreased by morethan 96,000 since a de-

cision to issue a temporary banon the issuance of work visasfor expatriates in 10 sectors.

Latest figures from the Na-tional Centre for Statistics andInformation (NCSI) show thatthe number of expatriates inOman has fallen to 20,02,378compared to 20,98,542 in Jan-uary when the ban was an-nounced, affecting sectors in-cluding information systems, en-gineering, aviation and certaintechnical professions.

The sultanate’s total popu-lation stood 45,84,591 on July10, which included 25,81,390Omanis -- representing just over56 per cent.

In May, Oman extended theban on hiring expatriates for an-other six months in a bid to cre-ate more job opportunities for

Omani nationals.The Ministry of Manpower

(MoM) imposed a series of six-month bans on the hiring of for-eigners in multiple industries af-fecting 95 types of jobs. Theban does not extend to the re-placement of existing foreignemployees in the private sector.

The hiring ban is the latestin a series of initiatives by theOmani government to reduce

high unemployment, which roseto 16.9 per cent in 2017 on theback of low oil prices and lowerrevenues.

Last October, the govern-ment announced that it wouldbegin creating 25,000 new jobsfrom December, with 60 percent of those jobs being createdin the public sector, plus a driveto employ nationals in the privatesector.

Our Gulf Correspondent

THE Gulf CooperationCouncil’s (GCC’s) hospi-tality sector is expected

to gain positive momentum asa result of recovering oil pricesand upcoming mega events, ac-cording to a new report.

The GCC hospitality marketis expected to grow at a 7.2 percent Compound Annual GrowthRate (CAGR), from an estimated$22.9 billion in 2017 to $32.5billion in 2022, the Alpen Capital

report said.At a country level, GCC

countries’ hospitality sectors areexpected to range from 6 percent to 12 per cent, with theUAE on the higher end in partdue to Expo 2020 Dubai.

Bahrain and Oman are alsoexpected to grow at a rate higherthan the GCC average.

In the report, Alpen Capitalpredicted that key hospitality op-erating metrics, which have beenunder pressure in the past, areexpected to have a slow but

steady recovery driven by aboost in demand.

Average GCC occupancy,for example, is expected to in-crease from 62 per cent in 2017to 68 per cent in 2022, while av-erage daily rate (ADR) is ex-pected to increase at a CAGRof 1.1 per cent to $161 in 2022,while RevPAR (revenue peravailable room) is expected toincrease at a CAGR of 2.9 percent to $109 in 2022.

Sameena Ahmad, ManagingDirector of Alpen Capital, said

the sector’s recovery is on ac-count “of recovery in oil prices,upcoming mega events, in-creased tourist inflow, positiveregulatory initiatives and in-creased government spending/investments towards the hospi-tality and tourism sector”.

“GCC countries have well-defined strategies to developthemselves as preferred traveldestinations,” said Ms Ahmad.

“They are making significantinvestments into the develop-ment of tourism and hospitalityinfrastructure including airportexpansions to increase the han-dling capacity of anticipated vis-itor inflow.”

The report also predicted in-creasing market penetration bymid-market hotels through 2022,along with the adoption of Airbnb-type renting models (Airbnb isthe worldwide accommodationleader). This demand, the reportnoted, is largely driven by a risein millennial travellers who “optfor experience, authenticity andvalue-for-money proposition”.

POSTPONED twice, thefirst edition of the 2+2 Di-alogue between India

and the US was held in NewDelhi on September 6, 2018.During the talks, Union Ministerfor External Affairs SushmaSwaraj and Union Minister forDefence Nirmala Sitharamanhad with US Secretary of StateMichael R Pompeo and DefenceSecretary James Mattis, keystrategic issues came up for dis-cussion like India’s purchase ofS-400 missiles from Russia, im-port of crude oil from Iran, cross-border terrorism, India’s bid formembership of the Nuclear Sup-pliers Group, the contentious H-1B visa issue, and ways todeepen co-operation in the Indo-Pacific region.

A landmark security agree-ment was signed which will al-low Indian defence forces to re-ceive military-gradecommunications equipmentfrom the US and ensure accessto real-time encrypted informa-tion. The Communications Com-patibility and Security Agree-ment (COMCASA) will also helpIndia to obtain critical defencetechnologies from the US andgain access to critical commu-nication network of the USarmed forces.

According to officials, thedeal which is valid for a periodof 10 years and came into effectimmediately will ensure interop-erability among the US and theIndian armed forces and willalso allow the installation ofhigh-security US communicationequipment on defence platformsbeing sourced from the US.

The COMCASA will facilitateIndia’s access to advanced de-fence systems and enable it tooptimally utilise its existing US-origin platforms, according to ajoint statement issued after thetalks.

Explaining the provisions, anofficial said if the US Navy de-tects a Chinese naval ship orsubmarine in the Indian Ocean,the Indian Navy will immediatelyget to know about it throughtransmission of encrypted databy the US. Though COMCASAwill help India obtain critical de-fence technologies from the US,there have been apprehensions

here about allowing the US ac-cess to sensitive military com-munication network.

Several countries havesigned the COMCASA with theUS. The COMCASA will alsoprovide a legal framework fordefence technology transfer be-tween the US and India and helpNew Delhi acquire critical plat-forms like Sea Guardian dronesfrom the US.

This is among several keydevelopments in defence andsecurity co-operation between

the US and India in the past fewmonths. In July, the US an-nounced granting India the sta-tus of Strategic Trade Authori-zation (STA)-1 country, the onlySouth Asian nation to be giventhe designation along with theUS’ NATO allies like South Ko-rea, Australia and Japan. TheSTA-1 status will help India getcritical technology from the USin the defence and certain otherkey areas.

Currently there are 36 coun-tries on the STA-1 list. Till re-

cently India was designated asSTA-2 countries, along with 7others. In June 2016, the UShad designated India as ‘majordefence partner’ intending to el-evate defence trade and tech-nology sharing with India to alevel commensurate with that ofits closest allies and partners.

A joint statement was issuedafter the dialogue which said thetalks were reflection of theshared commitment by PrimeMinister Narendra Modi andPresident Donald Trump to pro-

vide a positive, forward-lookingvision for the India-US strategicpartnership and to promote syn-ergy in their diplomatic and se-curity efforts.

Recognising their rapidly-growing military-to-military ties,the two sides committed to thecreation of a new, tri-servicesexercise and to further increasepersonnel exchanges betweenthe two militaries and defenceorganisations.

The ministers reviewed therecent growth of bilateral en-

gagements in support of mar-itime security and maritime do-main awareness, and committedto expand co-operation. To-wards that end, the ministerscommitted to start exchangesbetween the United StatesNaval Forces Central Commandand the Indian Navy, underscor-ing the importance of deepeningtheir maritime co-operation inthe western Indian Ocean.

In the joint statement, thetwo countries called on Pakistanto ensure that the territory under

its control is not used to launchterrorist attacks on other coun-tries.

“On the eve of the 10-yearanniversary of the 26/11 Mum-bai attack, they called on Pak-istan to bring to justice expedi-tiously the perpetrators of theMumbai, Pathankot, Uri, andother cross-border terrorist at-tacks,” the statement said.

The two sides resolved tocontinue meetings in this formaton an annual basis. The next2+2 meeting will be held in the

US in 2019. China welcomedthe 2+2 Dialogue, but remainedsilent on the security pact COM-CASA.

Asked about China’s reac-tion on the Indo-US talks, Chi-nese Foreign Ministryspokesperson Hua Chunyingsaid in Beijing, “I have seen thereports about the 2+2 consulta-tion between the US and India.China is happy to see the nor-mal development of bilateral re-lations between the US and In-dia, and hopes that they will domore to contribute to regionalpeace and stability in theprocess of developing bilateralrelations.”

She skirted a response tothe question on India and USsigning the COMCASA.

On the India-US call for mar-itime freedom in the Indo-Pacificregion, Hua said that “about thesecurity navigation in the sea,we uphold the legal rights enti-tled in the international law andwe also hope parties can do realthings to ensure freedom of nav-igation.”

During the 2+2 talks, Indiaand the US expressed commit-ment to work together and inconcert with other partners to-ward advancing a free, open,and inclusive Indo-Pacific region.The 2+2 Dialogue took place ata time when China’s People’s

Liberation Army was flexing itsmuscles in the Indo-Pacific re-gion.

China claims almost all ofthe resource-rich South ChinaSea. Vietnam, the Philippines,Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwanhave counter claims over thearea. China recently deployedanti-ship cruise missiles and sur-face-to-surface missile systemsin the disputed South China Seaamid frequent forays by USnaval and surveillance aircraftover the region to assert thefreedom of navigation.

In Washington, Mattis latersaid, “the highly successful 2+2Dialogue was a defining mo-ment and the defence co-oper-

ation between the two countrieswas on the right track”.

“I did go to India for whatcould only be considered highlysuccessful consultations be-tween the world’s two largestdemocracies. There was no dif-ficulties that we uncovered therein moving forward on a numberof pragmatic steps to draw our-selves closer together in termsof security,” Mattis told reportersat the Pentagon.

He specifically pointed to theCOMCASA, the communica-tions compatibility and securityagreement, which he said opensa lot of doors in ‘terms of de-fence co-operation’.

THEKrishi Vigyan Kendras(KVKs), better known asfarm science centres, help

rural youth in establishing func-tional linkages with processingindustries, value addition to farmproduce and marketing of theproduce.

The adequate market poten-tial will be essentially realisedthrough packaging and brandingof the products and constantupgradation of the technology.

The rural youth exchangetheir programmes through inter-active sessions. The skilled youthwill be involved in ongoing ex-tension activities as entrepre-neur-cum-master trainer for mul-tiplying the effects of technolo-gies.

Thus, skilled rural youth willnot only demonstrate the poten-tial of agricultural activities andallied sector but will also act asrole model for other youth. More-over, the additional employmentgenerated through their enter-prises will absorb unemployedor underemployed rural youthin secondary agricultural and al-lied activities.

Realising the need to createinterest and confidence in Indianrural youth by making agriculturemore profitable, the Indian Coun-cil of Agricultural Research(ICAR) has launched a project,‘Attracting and Retaining Youthin Agriculture’ (ARYA), with anoutlay of ` 100 crore under Na-tional Agricultural InnovationFund.

The core objectives of theproject is to attract and empowerthe youth in rural areas to takeup various agriculture and alliedsector enterprises for sustainableincome and gainful employment;to enable the farm youth to es-tablish network groups to takeup resource and capital intensiveactivities like processing, valueaddition and marketing; and todemonstrate functional linkagewith different institutions andstakeholders for convergence ofopportunities available undervarious schemes/ programmesfor sustainable development ofyouth.

Presently, the project is beingimplemented in 25 districts byKVKs as the ARYA centres. Var-ious institutes of ICAR, StateAgricultural Universities (SAUs)and other agriculture related in-stitutes are acting as the tech-nical partners of KVKs for tech-

nical backstopping.The governance of ARYA

project is through various com-mittees with specific terms ofreferences. The apex committee,which reviews the progress ofthe project and provides direc-tions for implantation of the proj-ect, is headed by the Director-General, ICAR, New Delhi. Theoverall guidance is provided bythe steering committee, whichalso monitors the physical andfinancial progress of the imple-

mentation of the project and re-ports to apex committee.

A zonal committee is consti-tuted for approving the workplans and guiding and monitoringthe operations under ARYA proj-ect in KVKs of the concernedzone. Similarly, at district level,a district committee functions toallocate and provide the fundsfor various approved activities,

guide and co-ordinate with se-lected youth for proper opera-tionalisation of work plan andmonitor the project on regularbasis. Moreover, project screen-ing committee in the AgriculturalExtension Division, ICAR, NewDelhi, identifies, screens andrecommends proposals to beexecuted under ARYA project.

The National Co-ordinationUnit of the project, is located inthe Agricultural Extension Divi-sion, ICAR, New Delhi; whereas,

zonal co-ordinating units are lo-cated at respective ICAR insti-tutes. The concurrent monitoring,evaluation and mid-term correc-tions are an integral part of proj-ect implementation according toa report in the Indian Farming.

Each KVK has to have atleast 200 potential rural youthwith entrepreneurial aptitude oflesser than 35 years of age

based on gender and social sta-tus by undertaking baseline/benchmark survey.

This selection of potentialyouth is done in accordance withthe overall guidance providedby the district committee consti-tuted at KVK level to guide, co-ordinate and monitor the proj-ect.

The selected youth are giveninitial exposure, through expo-sure visits, involving successfulagripreneurs, and interactive

sessions under similar resourcebase and agroclimatic situations,about the prospects in agricul-ture and allied sectors for earn-ing adequate living in rural ar-eas.

It would inspire them to pur-sue agriculture and allied busi-ness as profession and helpthem select and take up appro-priate vocation. Rural youth with

increased zeal are provided high-er training in subsequent stagesfor production, processing, mar-keting, etc. Further, KVKs willestablish agripreneurial devel-opment units which will act asentrepreneurial training units forfarm youth.

The selected rural youth areoffered with a basket of choicesamong agricultural enterprisesto be opted based on their re-source base, capabilities, localdemand/needs, etc.

The KVKs evaluate the ca-pabilities of selected youth andbased on which a specific suit-able agricultural venture is se-lected. Various enterprises likebeekeeping, mushroom cultiva-tion, seed processing, poultryfarming, dairy farming, goatry,carp hatchery, vermicomposting,etc. are focussed under the proj-ect.

Youth are be imparted en-

trepreneurial skills along withother essential skills requiredfor selected enterprises and abusiness plan is developed. Con-sidering categories of youth,school dropouts, collegedropouts, graduates, etc. multipleskill development programmesare organised on farming andnon-farming aspects.

A technically feasible andeconomically-viable businessplan is designed considering re-source requirement, availableinvestment, marketing opportu-nities and threats, probable link-ages, expected output and cost-benefit analysis. The youth areassisted by consultants in projectformulation which will boosthis/her self-confidence in man-aging the business effectivelyand profitably.

The business plan is exe-cuted, focussing cost:benefit ra-tio, taking into account the ef-

fective and efficient managementand production systems.

It is also an integral part ofthe implementation of businessplan to keep it on the right trackthrough concurrent monitoring,evaluation and mid-term correc-tions.

The KVKs are also facilitatingthe youth in establishing entre-preneurial units at the farms orown location depending uponthe market potential of enterpriseand availability of fund. Thus,depending upon the type of en-terprises (individual or group),operational costs to support crit-ical inputs like seeds, fertilizers,small equipment may also beprovided to farm youth. The pur-pose behind is to attract youthin agriculture and improve overallrural scenario by establishingsuccessful economic models inrural India.

THE student police cadet(SPC) programme wouldlead to a silent revolution

over the years by focussing oncharacter building by impartingmoral values to budding minds.Education these days stressesmore on mere book readingwith little attention being paidtowards character building ofstudents, which shows negativeeffects on society in terms ofincreased crime, said the UnionMinister for Home, RajnathSingh. He was launching theSPC programme for nationwideimplementation in Gurugram,Haryana.

Coping with rapid moderni-sation and cut-throat competi-tion, schools have focussed alltheir attention towards buildingcareers and rising incomes, cre-ating tremendous pressureamong young minds, said MrRajnath.

“While the dawn of new tech-nologies, internet and socialmedia have helped our childrenkeep pace with the changingtimes, it has adversely impactedour society as we witness thebreakdown of the traditionalfamily system and worrying risein incidents of crimes and rapes.”

The SPC programme wouldhelp in making students respon-sible citizens by inculcating val-ues of respect to the elderly,discipline, social responsibilityand through police-student in-teraction.

The programme will providea healthy interface between

schools and police and inculcatein the students aspects of publicsafety, discipline, patience, tol-erance, empathy, respect ofsenior citizens, social harmony,traffic sense and a corruption-free environment.

The youth of tomorrow whoemerge out of such programme

would bear ethical values of so-cial commitment and be awareof social evils such as drugs,alcohol abuse, intolerance andvandalism.

He expressed confidencethat the programme would resultin overall development of a stu-dent’s personality and bring big

change in society.Mr Singh appealed to all

stakeholders – teachers, par-ents, students, police and offi-cials – to participate with en-thusiasm and execute SPC asa mission mode project. TheSPC project will also help the

police assess their image in thepublic eye and strive for im-proving confidence and winningtrust of the people. SPC initiallywill be launched as pilot pro-gramme in all states and Unionterritories.

The Home Minister alsolaunched the theme song andtraining manual of SPC preparedby the Bureau of Police Re-search and Development(BPR&D). He also presented

cash awards to winners of logoand motto competition and alsohanded over the SPC flag toHaryana Platoon Commander.

The programme focusseson students of Classes 8 & 9and special care has been takento ensure that it does not lead

to increase in the workload ofstudents. The programme doesnot have any prescribed text-book nor is any exam envisaged.Only one class in a month isproposed. The programmeseeks to cover broadly two kindsof topics – crime prevention andcontrol; and values and ethics,said the minister.

The Union Minister for Hu-man Resource Development,Prakash Javadekar said, SPC

is a very good initiative whichwill be launched initially in gov-ernment schools and later ex-panded to cover all schools.Talent alone is not sufficient forsuccess. Students need disci-pline and hardwork which willbe imparted through SPC. Theprogamme will cover aroundfour crore students, said MrJavadekar.

The Chief Minister ofHaryana, Manohar Lal said, theSPC will assist in social con-struction through personalitybuilding of students. The stu-dents having undergone SPCtraining will be given advantagein police recruitment.

The ceremony at Tau DeviLal stadium in Gurugram wasattended by thousands of stu-dents from all over the country.The gathering was also ad-dressed by Union Minister ofState for Home Affairs, HansrajGangaram Ahir and Union Min-ister of State for Ministry ofPlanning and Union Minister ofState for Ministry of Chemicals& Fertilizers, Rao Inderjit Singh,BPR&D Director-General, A PMaheswari.

THEnumber of people suf-fering from asthma runsin millions in India. Yet

many of them do not know thatthey have it. This puts them atgreat risk later. Generally con-sidered a mild, manageable con-dition, the impact of asthma isgreatly underestimated by manypeople across the globe. Thishas resulted in decades of lack-adaisical approach to diagnosisand treatment.

Over 300 million people aresaid to be affected by asthmaworldwide and, more strikingly,3,46,000 people a year die fromthe condition.

We have these figures fromthe Global Initiative for AsthmaReport, a biennial review of theavailable literature on the con-dition conducted by the field’sleading academics and re-searchers. Even worse is thatthese numbers are increasing,especially in developing countrieslike India, and especially amongchildren, who bear the brunt ofasthma mortality.

This is despite the availabilityof the medication and expertiseto diagnose and treat the condi-tion at both state and privatelevels. So, what is causing theproblem?

One of the main issues isunderdiagnosis. The problem isthat most patients only go tohospital once their symptomsare severe and, at this point, of-ten much more difficult to treat.Furthermore, many patients, ir-respective of the stage at whichtheir condition was diagnosed,do not properly adhere to theasthma treatment instructions.

How do you know if you have it?Asthma affects the airways –the small tubes that carry air inand out of the lungs. When anasthmatic comes into contactwith an asthma trigger, the airwaymuscles tighten so they becomenarrower and the lining gets in-flamed and starts to swell. Thiscauses breathing difficulties, in-cluding a dry cough, breathless-ness, and wheezing.

What are the causes of asthma?Just what causes asthma re-mains something of a mystery,but it's thought to be triggeredby an allergy or when the lungsare irritated by something inthe air.

When the airways of an asth-

ma sufferer become irritated themuscles around the airways tight-en, the lining of the airway be-comes inflamed and swollen andmore mucus is produced. Thismakes it harder for air to getinto the lungs resulting in cough-ing, wheezing, shortness ofbreath and chest tightness.These symptoms are known asan asthma attack.

Asthma is regularly confusedwith other bronchial infectionsand doesn't always present in astraightforward way, making di-agnosis difficult. But you're morelikely to develop asthma if mem-bers of your family suffer fromallergies, or have asthma them-selves. This strongly indicates

some underlying genetic/ hereditary.

We have culled out relevantinformation to find out the mainfactors involved in causing oraggravating asthma:

Allergies – Asthma attacksare most commonly triggeredby allergies to airborne particlesor otherwise harmless stimulilike grass or tree pollens, dog

and cat dander, cockroaches,dust mites, fungal spores andmildew. The house dust mite isthe most common coastal andinland trigger factor amongst allraces; even amongst indigenouspopulations where it was previ-ously believed to be uncommon.

In some parts of the world,grass, cockroaches and cat al-lergies have been identified asimportant triggers causing asth-ma. On rare occasions certainfoods and additives may alsotrigger off asthma when takenby mouth. An allergic reactionis implicated in about 90 per

cent of childhood asthma attacksand at least 50 per cent of adultattacks.

Other co-existing condi-tions – A viral cold or flu canaggravate asthma symptomstemporarily. This effect may lastfor up to six weeks after the ill-ness. In fact, most asthma at-tacks in both children and adultsare caused by the common cold.The virus that causes a cold isusually the trigger factor. Thisfact has many implications. Itmeans that people with asthmaare sensitive to colds and mustget good asthma therapy to pre-vent the cold-causing asthmaattacks. This preventative ap-proach is extremely importantin asthma management andmust be stressed.

Pollution – Once you haveasthma, home and workplacechemicals, tobacco smoke, carexhaust fumes and certain chem-ical gases can aggravate anasthma attack. Children will evenbe affected by passively inhalingtheir parents’ cigarette smoke.Parents who smoke should beadvised to stop smoking alto-gether. It is not enough for par-ents to avoid smoking in thepresence of their child.

Chemicals and strong smellsare transferred to children on

the clothes of their parents andmay trigger attacks. Smokersalso have more germs carriedin their throats which may affecttheir own children and triggerasthma attacks. Air pollutantsfrom highly industrialised areas,changing eating habits to refinedfoods, and using anthracite andcoal as fuel have been implicatedin the increased prevalence ofasthma.

Sport and exercise – Sportand exercise, particularly in coldweather, can set off an asthmaattack. However, with the correcttreatment asthma can be wellcontrolled so that asthmaticsneed not avoid sport or exercise.In fact about 10 per cent ofOlympic athletes have asthma.

Exercise-induced asthma isno longer regarded as a condi-tion separate from normal asth-ma, but rather one where nor-mal underlying asthma is trig-gered by exercise. Exercise-induced asthma refers to thetrigger, not a separate condition(e.g. pollen-induced asthma orworkplace-induced asthma orsmoke-induced asthma) andcan be regarded as poorly con-trolled asthma.

Emotion – This may soundstrange, but it’s true that emotionsuch as excitement, anger, fearor laughter can aggravate asth-ma. So-called nerves are notresponsible for causing asthma.

Occupational hazards –Asthma in adults can often beconnected to the work they doand this is referred to as occu-pational asthma. Working withplastic resins, wood dust, grains,insecticides, and metals canmake you susceptible to devel-oping asthma later in life. Buteven cleaning products andwork-related chemicals, includingthose used in photocopiers maymake you vulnerable.

Making sure your asthma iswell managed is the single mostimportant thing you can do toreduce your risk of an attack,says a specialist. A treatmentplan should also help you identifytriggers and find strategies foravoiding them. You’ve got to sitwith your doctor and plan a treat-ment strategy.

Ignoring asthmaas just a conditionis inviting trouble.Statistics tell ascary story

THE Cabinet Committee onEconomic Affairs, (CCEA)chaired by the Prime Min-

ister, Narendra Modi, has ap-proved continuation of the Cen-trally Sponsored UmbrellaScheme of Integrated Develop-ment of Wildlife Habitats (CSS-IDWH) beyond the 12th Plan pe-riod from 2017-18 to 2019-20.

The scheme consists ofCentrally Sponsored Schemeof Project Tiger (CSS-PT), De-velopment of Wildlife Habitats(CSS-DWH) and Project Ele-phant (CSS-PE). The total out-lay is ` 1,731.72 crore as Cen-tral share (` 1,143 crore forProject Tiger, ` 496.50 crorefor Development of WildlifeHabitats and ` 92.22 crore forProject Elephant) from 2017-18 to 2019-20.

A total of 18 tiger rangestates, distributed in five land-scapes of the country would bebenefitted under the Project Tigerscheme. Similarly, for other twoschemes, the coverage is entirecountry in case of Developmentof Wildlife Habitats and 23 ele-phant range states for ProjectElephant. It would foster wildlifeconservation in general with spe-cific inputs for tiger in ProjectTiger area and elephant in Proj-ect Elephant area.

Besides immense environ-mental benefits and effectiveimplementation of tiger conser-vation inputs in and aroundtiger reserves under ProjectTiger, wildlife conservation in-

puts in protected areas & near-by areas under Developmentof Wildlife Habitats and elephantconservation inputs in ProjectElephant areas, the schemeswould result in overall strength-

ening/consolidation of tiger, ele-phant and wildlife conservationin the country.

The schemes would addressthe human wildlife conflict ef-fectively. Besides, the commu-

nities opting for voluntary relo-cation from the core/critical tigerhabitat (6,900 families) wouldbe benefitted under CSS-PT and800 families under CSS-DWH.

These schemes would gen-

erate employment opportunitiesresulting in economic upliftmentof people in and around tigerreserves/protected areas besidesleading to reduction in naturalresource dependency with sub-stitution by clean energy use. Itwill generate direct employmentof about 30 lakh mandays an-nually which shall include manylocal tribes besides non-triballocal workforce.

People living in vicinity wouldalso get indirect benefits. Localpopulace would get opportunitiesto serve as guides, driver, hos-pitality personnel and in otherancillary jobs. These schemeswould foster imparting variousskills towards making peopleself-dependent through variouseco-development projects, there-by enabling them to go for self-employment.

These schemes would resultin resource generation throughtourist visits, thereby fosteringin securing tiger source areasand other areas important forwildlife conservation, besidesbeing helpful in sustaining lifesupport systems as well as en-suring food, water and livelihoodsecurity.

The implementation of theschemes would be done throughthe respective states in desig-nated tiger reserves, protectedareas and elephant reserves.
