ENVIRONMENTAL STATISTICS AND MAPPING

The Ministry of Environment and Forests has intro-ducted Environmental Statistics in the Policy Statement for Abatement of Pollution. The mapping of the data would be an outcome of the Environmental Statistics. It is expected to depict the trend of pollution in the country. The scheme was started from 1st April, 1992. This is a new project and will continue in the VIII Plan period at a total cost of Rs. 50.00 lakhs at a rate of Rs. 10.00 lakhs per year. An Environmental Atlas will be brought out in which, pollution data for air and water quality, solid wastes, noise and overall status of pollution throughout the country will be depicted. Under the Scheme, the project "Environmental Statistics and Mapping" using GIS and Remote Sensing with a specific reference to Abatement of Pollution at a total cost of Rs. 34.613 lakhs has been proposed to NISTAD during the year 1992-93 for a period of five years. The main objectives of the project are to determine the status of pollution and to develop concise set of environmental indicators for monitoring the effect of pollution and to provide information to the public. The work under the project would also produce a computerised map of the critically polluted areas through digitisation on which thematic information on pollution status would be depicted. This scheme is being implemented by NISTAD.

ADOPTION OF CLEAN TECHNOLOGIES BY SMALL SCALE INDUSTRIES

A scheme on Adoption of Clean Technologies by Small Scale Industries has been started during 1992-93 and will continue for the whole of the VIII plan period.

The scheme has 3 components:

1. The Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) will provide financial assistance for modernisation of small industries directly by way of term loans etc. Through the scheme, subsidy will be provided at low interest to small scale industries.
2. Research and Development programme will be carried out for innovation, identification and diffusion of information on clean technology and for creation of data base.
3. An awareness programme and personnel training of the small scale industries will be carried out through the Development Commissioner, Small Scale Industries with the support of various research organisations nodal sectoral institutions by conducting seminars/symposia, preparation of slide films, etc.

A scheme has been sponsored to Development Commissioner, Small Scale Industries, Ministry of Industry to organise training and awareness programme for SIDO officers through their Small Industry Service Institute which in turn would impart training to the entrepreneurs of the identified SSI sectors.

It is also proposed during 1994-95 to set up a data base for SSIs relating to proven clean process technologies for adoption by SSIs. Based on this a Manual on training will be prepared to help train the personnel of SIDO who in turn would impart training to the entrepreneur for their adoption.

A scheme for financial assistance to Small Scale Industries for changes in process for adoption of technology through SIDBI will be finalised.

HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES MANAGEMENT DIVISION

ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT

A scheme for Environmental Audit has been started from 1992-93 and will continue during VIII Plan period.

Training programme is being provided to staff of the Central and State Pollution Control Boards and industries in conducting the audit during 1993-94 and will continue during 1994-95. A project has been sponsored to IIT Bombay to develop software for computerisation of the data base collected through environmental audit. This would help in publishing statistics on consurnption of natural resources and could be used for setting standards under Air, Water Acts.

It is proposed to set up a data base on environmental statement required to be submitted by the polluting units to the concerned State fo11ution Control Beards during 1994-95. This would help deter-mining trends in pollution particularly from the highly polluting industries; and also 1lelp identify those which are persistent defaulters. The output from these data bases would be brought out as Status reports for dissemination to various users at various levels of implementations.
