North Zone Conference20

Inauguration of Chhattisgarh Regional ChapterThe ITPI Council (2014-2015) in its meeting held on 8 January 2015 considered the request of some of the members of erstwhile Madhya Pradesh Regional Chapter for opening a new Regional Chapter under Bye Law Number – 94 for members working / residing in Chhattisgarh state. As the proposal was in conformity with the Memorandum of Articles of Association and Bye-Laws of ITPI, the Council accepted the proposal. Accordingly, as per Regulation Number 16, the members of the newly created Chhattisgarh Regional Chapter conducted the elections for the Executive Committee of Chhattisgarh Regional Chapter on 20 April 2015. Formal inauguration of the CRC was held on 22 August 2015 coinciding with the workshop on ‘Water Front Development’ at Hotel Babylon at Raipur.

On this occasion Shri N. Baijendra Kumar, IAS, Additional Chief Secretary, Chhattisgarh; Department

of Housing and Environment, Naya Raipur was the Chief Guest. He in his address stated that the ITPI was born about 65 years back but Chhattisgarh state came into being only in 2000. He assured the members present in the Workshop that Chhattisgarh state would consider the request of Prof. Dr. D. S. Meshram, President Emeritus ITPI for allotment of land for the Chhattisgarh Regional Chapter as per prevailing policy of the state government for starting activities of CRC at Raipur.

With reference to the theme of the Workshop he noted that cities and towns in ancient times were located near water bodies to be specific on the banks of rivers, lakes, etc., so that the requirement of water for the purpose of agriculture and other uses could be satisfied. Nowadays it is common sight that towns and cities are facing shortage of water even for drinking purposes. Water is not being supplied 24 x 7 in some of the towns. Originally coming

Planner’sNews Letter2

from Kerala he underscored that the waterways are being used for transport purposes. On the issue of planning he pointed out that even if excellent plans are prepared, success of these plans depends on the implementation of these plans. Otherwise the whole exercise becomes futile. He also pointed out that let us not misuse water bodies by filling them for making them available for the development and building activities. He also added that there are 55 water bodies in Naya Raipur, however, we have ensured that these water bodies are well maintained and not destroyed. For this purpose we have to work together specifically with the planners who are dreamers for the cause of public, who visualize the common interest of masses and try to realize these dreams on the ground. He assured the delegates that through Naya Raipur project, the state government would implement the Plan in the spirit it has been conceived with a strong will for better cities and towns making them sustainable and inclusive.

Prof. Dr. D. S. Meshram, President Emeritus ITPI in his address provided background about the ITPI. He mentioned that at present the ITPI has 22 Regional Chapters including recently created Chhattisgarh Regional Chapters at Raipur. Regional Chapters are mostly located in the state capitals. The objectives of creating the Regional Chapters is to advance the study of town and country planning and kindred subjects and to promote planned spatial economic, scientific and artistic development of towns, cities and rural areas besides arranging lectures, talks, symposia, exhibitions and planning activities. Each Regional Chapter is equipped with computers and networking facilities along with data on urban

planning and development at national and regional levels. The Chhattisgarh Regional Chapter would assist the state government for orderly and planned development of not only urban areas but rural areas as well. He therefore requested the state government of Chhattisgarh to allot a piece of land for initiating the activities of Chhattisgarh Regional Chapter of ITPI for which ITPI will be happy to bear the cost of land.

On the theme of the workshop Prof. Dr. D. S. Meshram mentioned that water is the basic need of life as life cannot survive without water, and this is not only true for human beings but also for plants and animals. That is why our religious scriptures equated water with god or life, which also became part of our religious rituals. From immemorial times, water bodies have the sacred place in our culture as can be seen that ghats at rivers, kunds in temples and towns are not just sources of water but are also community spaces which can be used by every family right from toddler to elders. Therefore, it is needless to say that there is a need to maintain and develop these lakes, back waters, and river fronts for active use for the city and save these spaces from hazardous urban development including encroachments.

Although nearly three-fourth of the surface of universe is covered by water, availability of water for human consumption is getting scarce day by day due to failure of water management and pollution of water bodies. Even in the regions which experience heavy rainfall, rain water floods areas during rainy season causing misery for people;

Prof. Dr. D. S. Meshram, President Emeritus, addressing the delegates


water becomes scarce when rain stops. In India as per one estimate the availability of water per year is 1,900 billion cubic meters in 2002. About 86 percent of this comes from the surface run-off in rivers, streams, tanks, and ponds. Therefore, it would be appropriate to adopt the principle of ‘zero runoff’. To this end Dr. Meshram quoted the example of Auroville Universal Township where the principle of zero runoff has been adopted successfully through check dams.

There is no denying the fact that currently land uses along waterfronts of many cities are determined more by market demand than on the requirement of the community. In fact redevelopment of waterfronts should provide opportunities for public use, and encourage water dependent activities. The waterfront projects should be developed within the

context of surrounding land uses and enhance the historic significance and architectural heritage of the area in harmony with the surroundings. Waterfront development has the potential to combine public recreation, mixed land use development, historic preservation, which needs to be explored while planning and development of these areas.

The inaugural function was followed by the Technical Session in which presentations were made by Shri S. Vallabh Bhai Patel on “River Sabarmati River front Development”. Dr. Sandeep Kumar Raut on “Technical Aspect of Riverfront Development”; Shri Anand Voleti on “Kharun Riverfront Development” and by Shri Mustafa on ARPA Riverfront Development. The welcome address was delivered by Shri Zahid Ali, Chairman, Chhattisgarh Regional Chapter.

deforestation are necessary. According to State of Environment, India 2009, Report, India with just 2.4 percent of the world’s surface area, accommodates 16.7 percent of the total population of earth. The country is bestowed with mega biodiversity and is among 17 nations in the world identified to have such status. The Report highlights that today the country may have marketable food grain surplus, but side by side there is ‘prevalence of hunger’. This is not due to food shortage but due to lack of adequate purchasing power among rural and urban poor.

Indiscriminate exploitation of the natural resources has striped several areas of the forest cover and disturbed the ecological balance. As a consequence desert conditions are being experienced in the neighbouring regions. This aspect needs to be noted while planning and development of urban and rural areas. Unchecked urbanization, the Report emphasizes results in shortage of housing, lack of water supply, increase in air pollution, noise, dust and heat, and mismanagement of solid, liquid and hazardous waste. Besides, the unchecked urbanization causes environmental degradation, which calls for focused attention of the policy makers and planners.

Prof. Dr. A. N. Sachithanandan, President ITPI, in his address highlighted the traditions of Indian culture

and society in preserving tree cover, rivers water bodies, birds and animals and their relevance in today’s context. He also emphasized the need to follow these traditions for resolving present day problems of air, water and noise pollutions by supplementing them with modern technological interventions.

The inaugural session was followed by Technical Session, which was chaired by Shri Pradeep Kapoor, Additional Chief Town Planner, Rajasthan Government. In this session presentations were made by Shri Raj Vir Singh, CTP (Retired), Haryana; Shri M. P. Sharma, IFS, Panchkula; Prof. Dr. Ashwani Luthra, GNDU, Amritsar; Shri Sandeep Sharma, Chairman, HP and J&K Chapter, and Shri N. K. Patel, Council Member ITPI, Gujarat.

On this occasion Shri Sanjay Verma, former Chief Town Planner, Government of Haryana who was earlier Chairman of the Haryana Regional Chapter also was felicitated by Prof. Dr. D. S. Meshram, President Emeritus ITPI for his contributions to the Haryana Regional Chapter by presenting him a plaque in his honour.

The welcome address was delivered by Shri S. D. Saini, Chairman HRC.

North Zone Conference is in progress at Panchkula

North Zone Conference Preservation of Natural Resources - States Initiatives

Haryana Regional Chapter of Institute of Town Planners, India organized the North Zone ITPI Zonal conference on 1 August 2015 at Panchkula. The theme of the conference was “Preservation of Natural Resources - States Initiatives”.

Prof. Dr. D. S. Meshram, President Emeritus, in his inaugural address highlighted the fact that preservation of natural resources is the major concern of management in order to enhance environmental quality of natural resources like air, water and land available to human kind. But their quality is greatly influenced by human activities causing environmental pollution. The rate of depletion of the natural resources may be reduced by the reutilization of waste materials, which can act as secondary resources. Therefore, recycling of metal, paper, glass, etc., could be resorted resolving technical and economic difficulties being faced to improve effectiveness. In fact land and water are the most important natural resources of India. However, the efficiency with which they are utilized has a direct bearing on the living standards of the masses. It is natural that considerations of achieving and maintaining high level of production are the primary focus of the country for the use of these resources. But it is also important to keep in view not

only the requirement of present and of the immediate future but also of the next generations. Therefore, it would be most pertinent to exploit them in sustainable manner. In this direction the three most important factors which need to be taken into consideration are efficiency, optimality and sustainability. Because land is a finite source and limited, it needs to be used optimally in a judicious manner for making the land available for other important uses like agriculture, forestry, etc.

Every human activity requires energy but production and consumption of energy results in emission of carbon-dioxide, a heat trapping green house gas that can persist in the air for centuries and cause climate change. Municipal solid waste and waste water produce methane that is a green house gas. Technology is available to reduce its effect by using it for electricity generation. However, it is not cost effective. Therefore, efforts need to be made to develop innovative technologies which are cost effective. To maintain ecological balance and reduce the risk of global warming, measures such as afforestation, reforestation, forest management, and reduced
