Targeting the children when they are most vulnerable, the traffickers wait for the floods. “Once their fathers go out for work, the traffickers convince teenage boys. They are naïve and gullible, which works in their favour, he said. Every year, around 200 children are rescued from one Jaipur bangle factory, said Suresh Kumar, child rights activist and author of the book Child Trafficking — Fight for Freedom. “Many are sent to Hyderabad and Chennai too, but we do not know the numbers. What we see are rescued cases; the real number of trafficked children is much higher.” These cases come to light when the rescued children recall their ordeals, Suresh added. “But there are many who die of starvation and diseases in these factories because the employers don’t bother to get medical help for them.”

Good news for women 

On Sept. 30, 1993, at 3:56 a.m., a deadly earthquake shook Latur and Osmanabad, districts in the western Indian state of Maharashtra. It killed 10,000 people and demolished 52 villages. 

While many nongovernmental organizations were involved in the immediate rescue and relief work, there was one group that worked a little differently. It focused on efforts that engaged with women from affected communities and aimed to ensure their long-term wellbeing. The Swayam Shikshan Prayog (SSP), established four years later, began its journey by going door-to-door after the earthquake, meeting thousands of women. The group trained the women to become farmers and entrepreneurs, enabling them to become financially independent and rise above the adversity and loss they'd encountered. 

Today, Swayam Shikshan Prayog is one of four winners of the Local Adaptation Champions Awards, organized by the Global Center on Adaptation (GCA), that is being announced at the COP27 climate summit in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. 

The awards recognize community-led efforts to adapt to the negative impacts of climate change. Winners will receive €15,000 to help their further their work. In an interview with NPR, SSP Director Upmanyu Patil shares significant moments from his journey.

This interview has been edited for length and clarity. 

You've helped around 300,000 rural women from across India adapt to climate change. How did your journey begin? 

It began with our relief efforts during the Latur earthquake.

Prema Gopalan was the founder of SSP, but unfortunately we lost her last March. I've been working with Prema and the team since 1993. I took over operations after she passed away. In those early days, we worked largely with disasters — the Gujarat Earthquake [2001], the Tamil Nadu tsunami [2004], floods in Bihar [2007] and in Kerala [2018]. We're working more extensively in three Indian states now — Kerala, Bihar and Maharashtra. 

What do you focus on during the aftermath of a climate disaster?

Our focus is on restoration of livelihoods, especially for women. While relief efforts are needed in the immediate aftermath, long-term rehabilitation is our goal. We support them financially, so they can revive any business ventures that were lost as a result of these disasters. In some cases, we provide training so they can gain more skills that will help them set up entrepreneurial ventures. We are actively engaged with communities 3 to 4 years after a disaster, and even post that we continue to work with communities, helping local women generate more income.

Why did you start working on climate-resilient agriculture initiatives?

There were many farmer suicides in Marathwada [in the western Indian state of Maharashtra] when we worked there in 2012-15. When we surveyed the area, we realized that farmers there were planting only a single cash crop like sugar cane or cotton [crops produced only for their commercial value]. This was a problem, because if there was a climate-related disaster and the crop failed, they could not sell it and neither would they have money to buy food. We realized that there were mounting losses in the process, and that was causing great distress [to farmers]. What they needed most was food security. Being an organization with a mission to empower women to take on decision-making roles in their families and communities, we knew that this could come only with economic empowerment, because a breadwinner is a decision-maker. So we began to speak with these families, suggesting that they allocate a piece of their land — say about one-fourth or a fifth — for women to cultivate food crops. We provided training in organic farming, helping them sow pulses, grains, vegetables, fruits. 

Did farmers always cultivate a single cash crop in this area? 

No, they didn't. If you go back 25 years ago, people sowed multiple crops, ensuring food for their families and communities. Things changed when farming became commercialized, driven by market forces instead of primary needs. India's green revolution of the 1960's, which ushered in pesticides and fertilizers for greater yields, did a lot of damage too. We're trying to get communities to go back to traditional practices. We are mining the knowledge of elderly people in these communities, checking with agricultural departments at local universities to see if these traditional practices are backed by science and if they can come back. For instance, practices such as sowing seeds from native plants around your own home, creating your own compost from agricultural waste, and creating bio-fertilizer by using leaves. 

Was it hard to make that transition to food crops and convince families to give away that land? 

Initially it was, but we tell them that it's for their own food security. They can do whatever they want with the rest of the land. We ask them to involve women in growing their food. We've faced challenges in two areas. Many don't believe that organic farming can give you the same yields as farming with the use of chemical fertilizers. And many men don't think women can farm efficiently, even though women do a lot of manual labor on farms. They don't believe that she can take charge of the sowing or be a decision-maker. 

How did you go about changing mindsets?

It takes time, but we reason with them. We show them how organic farming costs far less, when compared to the high costs of chemical fertilizers. And with 2 to 3 years of training, we prove that women can build their capabilities and take lead in their agricultural sector, just as they have done in sanitation and health. Getting [communities] to believe in this is a challenge in the initial phase. 

Once women grow food for their families, what's the next step? 

Once they secure food for their families and they have excess, the next challenge is finding a place to sell their extra produce. We link them to markets, and try to secure better prices for them. It's a challenge too, because traditional marketing methods require packaging, certification [and] branding or you won't get premium prices. The women work hard to produce organic food crops, but because of this, they often can't sell at the prices that justify that effort. They are unhappy about that. 

Is there anything you do to ensure that they get fair prices? 

We have started women farmer producer companies [where women farmers are partners, a system with collective ownership and joint investment]. They are involved in cultivating grains and pulses, but also in selling dairy [and] poultry. These allied activities ensure their incomes. 

How does climate change affect their daily lives and their farming? 

There are a lot of weather-related changes that we're seeing in recent years. For instance, earlier, the rains would come in mid-June, and remain till mid-October. People do their sowing and harvesting at this time. By February, it's time to sow the summer crop. But now, the rains come only in mid-July, and these are torrential, heavy rains. Then they stop abruptly, and farmers lose their crops. Farming is their only source of income and it is threatened by climate change. It's very distressing and women are especially vulnerable. Climate change has an impact on everything — health, economic conditions, water sources and food security. 

You encourage "clean energy initiatives" in local communities. What does that involve? 

In 2005, British Petroleum wanted to understand the energy needs in rural markets. So we partnered with them in that research. We found that cooking energy is a primary need in rural households. Together, we created a product — a "clean" cooking stove run on biomass pellets.

In 2012, we got funding from USAID to help create 1,000 women entrepreneurs, setting them up financially to be able to sell these stoves and other clean energy products [like solar panels] and services to 200,000 families in their communities. 

How do these stoves that run on biomass work?

It works with cow dung. Every family has 3 to 4 cattle. They collect the cow dung every day. They feed this into a "bio-digester" — it's a machine that 

converts cow dung into cooking gas and slurry. The process takes 6 to 8 hours. We use the slurry as organic fertilizer. And the biogas is piped to power the stove. This is safer than burning cow dung directly, which is a practice in many rural homes. It's also safer than LPG–compressed liquified petroleum gas, which is usually piped in for cooking. Each farmer owns their own biomass machine.

How do you intend to use the prize money from the award? 

We would like to expand our scope and see if we can get more women involved. 

What are the biggest changes you've seen after all these years of working with rural communities? 

One of the biggest changes is in the attitudes of men. Earlier, men didn't like it when we met with women exclusively and they were not involved. They were wary and suspicious. But now, they actually welcome us, because they've seen how our helping women helps their children in turn, and improves the families' quality of life. There's more appreciation now replacing the snarky comments that we got earlier! This is a major change we've seen over the last 30 years. 

It just goes to show that by empowering women, we can empower everyone.

Heavy rain, floods and lightning leave dozens dead in India and Bangladesh

saralkrishna: At least 84 people have died in landslides, lightning strikes and flash floods across India and Bangladesh in the past week, according to officials in both countries.

In the state of Assam, at least 41 people have died and seven people were missing as of Tuesday, according to the state disaster management authority, which is operating 1,425 relief camps housing 230,000 displaced people.

Northeastern India and northern Bangladesh have been particularly badly hit by severe weather, which has prompted some of the worst flooding in the region in years and left some towns cut off.

In the northeastern Indian state of Bihar, a lightning strike killed 17 people on Saturday according to its Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar.

And in the nearby state of Meghalaya, which also borders Bangladesh to the south, at least 24 people have died since June 9 and three are missing, according to R. Lyngdoh, a senior official in Meghalaya's State Disaster Management Authority.

More than 633,000 people have been affected by the floods, and the state's Disaster Management Authority will conduct airdrops of essential commodities for certain districts that are cut off by road, Lyngdoh added.

In Bangladesh, flooding has submerged roads and highways and isolated entire districts from the rest of the country.

Enamur Rahman, the country's State Minister for the Ministry of Disaster Management, told CNN on Sunday that at least two people had died due to the flooding. News agency reports suggest the toll is much higher, however, with Reuters reporting 25 deaths over the weekend, citing local officials.

A lack of telecommunication services has made it difficult to fully assess the extent of the damage, particularly in the hard-hit districts of Sylhet and Sunamganj, Rahman said.

Around 90% of Sunamganj was underwater and almost entirely isolated from the rest of Bangladesh on Sunday, he added.

The news agency Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS) reported on Saturday that nearly six million people had been displaced due to the floods.

Officials said millions were being provided with food and shelter in temporary relief camps.

"We were having trouble establishing communication with some districts, but we are now in touch with everyone. Our main issue right now is a lack of drinking water and food, but we are arranging for (some) and trying to transport it using helicopters," said Muhammad Mosharrof Hossain, a senior official in Bangladesh's Sylhet division, one of the worst affected areas.

Around 300,000 people are currently in shelters as of Monday, Hossain added.

Extreme weather events in South Asia are becoming increasingly frequent due to climate change, with temperatures in parts of India and Pakistan reaching record levels during a heatwave in April and May. Scientists said that climate change had made the possibility of a record-breaking heatwave hitting India and Pakistan "100 times more likely."

A 2022 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said they had medium confidence that heatwaves and humid stress would become more "intense and frequent," as well as that "annual and summer monsoon precipitation will increase.

Poem Title :

The Book Whose Title I Forget

%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^

Was it a vision, or a waking dream ?

Funny thing is, I forget its name,

I mean the title of the book.

Some very ordinary word

or phrase, obviously.

It was about this girl,

this child growing up,

her mother dead,

and her father and her grandfather

fighting for her custody

perhaps also for her love

though her father is a man

of no emotion

while her grandfather

has an excess of it

with the added sadness

of her mother too

having grown up without a mother

for most of her childhood.

You find yourself identifying

with this growing child

shuttling between

the cold austere widower’s world

of her honest but vain

selfish and unemotional

strict and self- absorbed

father

and her warm angry troubled grandfather

owner of a decaying inherited estate

in North Bihar

ravaged by floods

suffering from neglect

as he struggles to come to terms

with the death of a daughter he loved

but could never understand

and a grand- daughter

whose father he hates

but whose loyalty he wants

though it hurts that she is so much

like the daughter he never understood

and the wife whom he adored

but who died too young.

That house

Those gilt sofas with their brocade covers split

and the plastic foam bursting out in places

Those crimson velvet curtains

musty with the smell of flood waters

never fully dried out

a fat grey- green- black lizard clinging

to their tasselled golden cords

That Bhutanese carpet

with a puffing Chinese dragon fading out

as mould catches hold of it

Those Burmese teak floors

and the green patina on the copper fleur de lys

adorning the black rails of the estate boundary wall

three of which, enlarged,

formed the picture on the book cover—

I remember them vividly.

And I remember speculating about who the girl was

among the real life people I know.

I often recall the story

and wonder why it stays with me

though I do not remember its title

or the name of the author,

or even the names of the characters.

I remember the name of the river : Kosi.

What compels memory

so selectively,

so strongly ?

Dr. L H Hiranandani Hospital, Hiranandani Hospital Road, Hill Side Avenue, Hiranandani Gardens, Powai, Ramabai Ambedkar Nagar, Powai, Mumbai, Maharashtra

Dr L H Hiranandani was the inspiration behind the edifice. He was born in 1917 in Thatta, Sind (now in Pakistan). The family migrated to Mumbai in 1937. He completed his medical education in 1942. He was keen to further his education and went to England for his fellowship (FRCS). On his return to India in 1947, he joined The Topiwala National Medical College and B.Y.L Nair Hospital, Mumbai as Honorary Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Surgeon. In this hospital he rose to be the Head of Department.

Under his stewardship the department of ENT attained vibrancy. He initiated several operative techniques which are known as “Dr Hiranandani’s Operations” globally. He was instrumental in initiating the concept in India that Head and Neck surgeries come under the domain of the ENT surgeons.

The first such department was set up in B.Y.L Nair Hospital in 1972. The department is till date known as “Dr LH Hiranandani Head & Neck and ENT Department”.

Dr Hiranandani’s work earned him many accolades. The American Society of Head & Neck Surgery elected him as their first Indian member. He was the first Indian and the fifth in the world to receive the ‘Golden Award’, from the International Federation of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Societies. In 2001, he received the ENT Surgeon of the ‘Millennium Award’ and the ‘SAARC Award’ on behalf of the SAARC countries.

Social causes deeply motivated him. In 1973, he gave up a vibrant private practice to undertake social work in drought areas of Maharashtra, for a period of 8 months. He had directed aid for the flood affected people in Odisha and Bihar. He was awarded Maulana Azad Award ’97 by Indian National Congress in recognition of exemplary work during the 1993 communal riots in Mumbai. In the field of medical ethics, he had spear-headed the passing of the Human Organs Transplantation Bill by Lok Sabha in 1994. By this act, the buying of kidneys is declared as a crime. His Humane nature made him stand up for the rights of people and fight against capital punishment and euthanasia.

In 1972, the Government of India awarded him the Padma Bhushan, the third highest civilian National award, for his contribution to the nation. In 1987, he was conferred the Dhanvantari Award, awarded for the first time in the field of ENT, for his notable contribution to medical science.

88% of Indians confident in the country’s ability to adopt climate change policies - EIB survey

88% of Indians confident in the country’s ability to adopt climate change policies that address social inequalities at the same time, the EIB survey finds. High confidence in a just climate transition Solidarity to support a just transition About the EIB Climate Survey About the European Investment Bank About BVA Xsight Highlights: - Climate and environmental concerns top the list of challenges Indian respondents see for their country. - 90% of Indian respondents have confidence in the government's ability to deliver a fair climate transition that also tackles inequalities. - Two-thirds of Indians surveyed believe that the climate transition will improve the quality of their daily lives, food and health, and create more jobs for the country. - Most respondents from the European Union, the United States, and Japan believe their countries should provide financial compensation to affected nations for climate change. These are some of the results from the latest yearly climate survey, conducted in August 2023 and published today by the European Investment Bank. The EIB is the lending arm of the European Union and the world’s largest multilateral lender for climate action projects. Since 1993, we have been partnering with India, supporting the country's green ambitions by investing in sustainable urban transport and renewable energy. Recent years in India have been marked not only by record heatwaves and droughts but also more recently by disastrous landslides and flash floods. In 2022, the New Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment compiled a list of extreme weather events in the country. According to this report, India experienced at least one extreme weather event in 314 out of 365 days. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has also published a report for 2022, which paints a worrying picture of the climate situation in India. India is one of the global hotspots identified in the report in terms of geographical and socioeconomic vulnerabilities. States like Assam, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Bihar are the most vulnerable to climate hazards such as floods, droughts and cyclones. Against this backdrop, Indians have become acutely aware of the profound impact of climate change on their daily lives and the urgent need for action. Hence, climate change and environmental issues are now considered the number one challenge for Indians (56% of respondents place it in the top three concerns for their country). This is a striking insight as—out of the 35 countries covered by the survey—India is one of only five countries to place climate and environment as the very top challenge (with China, South Korea, Denmark and Slovenia being the other four). Meanwhile, most respondents in all other countries in the European Union, together with the United States, Japan, Canada and UAE consider it to be the second most significant issue facing their country after the increased cost of living.

High confidence in a just climate transition

With economic disparities ranked as the fourth most significant major challenge for the country by respondents, most Indians are calling for fair policies to address the climate emergency. 59% (close to China, the United States and Japan but 9 points below the European Union) say the transition to a low-carbon economy can only happen if inequalities are addressed at the same time. Additionally, 88% of Indian respondents say they are confident in the government’s ability to adopt climate change policies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and address social inequalities at the same time. This is similar to China but far above the United States (where only 57% are confident), Japan (40%) and the EU average (38%). Moreover, Indians are particularly confident about the outcome of climate policies. 65% of respondents (a figure close to that of the United States and China and to the EU average but 18 points above Japan) believe that climate policies will improve the quality of their daily lives. 63% also think that the policies will create more jobs than they will eliminate (7 points below China but 6 points above the United States, 12 points above the EU average and 14 points above Japan).

Solidarity to support a just transition

Assuming that the transition is partly financed by income tax, 89% of respondents (very close to China but 22 points above the United States, 30 points above the European Union and 31 points above Japan) would be prepared to see this tax increased to help lower-income households absorb the cost of a green transition. More than 90% of Indian respondents said they would also be in favour of other kinds of climate-related measures. For example, 91% of respondents said they would favour eliminating subsidies and tax breaks for the aviation sector and other industries that rely heavily on fossil fuels. On a more global scale, the question of compensation for developing countries to help them deal with the impacts of climate change expected to be a central issue at the 2023 UN Climate Change Conference in Dubai (COP28) — and the Indian government has consistently expressed the need to accelerate progress on this question. The survey results show that those in high-income countries are sensitive to this expectation. Conscious of a historical responsibility, most respondents from the European Union (60%), the United States (63%) and Japan (72%) agree that their countries should financially compensate affected nations to help them fight climate change. Comments from EIB Vice-President Kris Peeters: “The EIB's latest climate survey highlights Indians’ profound awareness of climate change and their commitment to tackle it. It is encouraging that they expect very positive results from the green transition. Respondents also emphasise that a successful transition to a low-carbon economy is intrinsically linked to tackling inequality, and they are confident that the country will succeed in doing so. The call for a just transition resonates strongly with the European Investment Bank. Solidarity and actionable measures are more pivotal now than ever.” Respondents had to select the three challenges they consider the biggest for their country from a shuffled list of ten challenges: Increased cost of living, unemployment, climate change, environmental degradation, political instability, income inequalities, access to healthcare, large-scale migrations, cyberattacks, and terrorism

About the EIB Climate Survey

The European Investment Bank (EIB) has now completed the sixth annual EIB Climate Survey, a thorough assessment of how people feel about climate change. Conducted in partnership with the market research firm BVA, the sixth edition of the EIB Climate Survey aims to inform the broader debate on attitudes and expectations in terms of climate action. More than 30 000 respondents participated in the survey from 7 August to 4 September 2023, with a representative panel of people aged 15 and above for each of the 35 countries polled (EU 27, the United States, China, the United Kingdom, India, Japan, South Korea, Canada and UAE).

About the European Investment Bank

The European Investment Bank (EIB) is the long-term lending institution of the European Union owned by its Member States. It is active in more than 160 countries and makes long-term finance available for sound investment in order to contribute towards EU policy goals. - In 2019, the EIB adopted an updated energy lending policy ending financing to any unabated fossil fuel energy projects, including natural gas. The EIB was the first multilateral development bank to do this. - In 2021, the EIB also became the first multilateral development bank to align its financial activities with the Paris Agreement. - Through its Climate Bank Roadmap, the EIB Group aims to support €1 trillion of investment in climate action and environmental sustainability through the critical decade 2021-2030. - It also made a commitment to increase investment in climate action and environmental sustainability to more than 50% of its annual lending by 2025 (last year that goal was exceeded with a figure of 58%). EIB Global is the EIB Group’s specialised arm dedicated to operations outside the European Union and is a key partner of the EU Global Gateway strategy. It aims to support at least €100 billion of investment by the end of 2027, around one-third of the overall target of the Global Gateway. Within Team Europe, EIB Global fosters strong, focused partnerships alongside fellow development finance institutions and civil society. EIB Global brings the Group closer to local communities, companies and institutions through its offices across the world.
