 For a long time I have been writing as a free lance columnist in national news papers for almost 20 years. I have contributed for  Indian Express and Fianancial Express, The Telegraph, Hindustan Times, Pioneer and Millenium Post. But I have observed that the papers have become so poor in articles quality that even the grammatrical mistakes are not corrected and all sorts of people have been publishing trash in these papers. One of the reasons is lure for advertisement and bureaucratic and political control makes the quality of news very bise and sensational. Hard hitting suggestions are necessary for a politician like Prime Minister Modi. So independent blogging will be an excellent way to contribute for the national interest.  I have decided it would be better to revive my blogging page which i created afew years ago but did not use much and raise isssue more frequesntaly on the national issues.

 Challenges India faces in countering national security and climatic disasters By: Dr VK Bahuguna (The writer is Chairman of Centre for Resource Management and Environment) India because of its varied geography, location, geological and climatic conditions coupled with its ‘reactive approach’ in dealing with things is prone to natural and other disasters. Time and again the national disaster response have not been at all commensurate with the desired level of preparedness as well as, technology and swift action.

Take for example the recent Pah...

 Looming water Crisis in India By: Dr VK Bahuguna (The writer is Chairman of Centre for Resource Management and Environment and former IFS officer) Water is the essential for all living creatures to keep them alive. Though 71% of earth’s area is covered by water in oceans, seas, lakes, rivers and other water bodies which constitute 361 million square kilometers. Oceans are the large continuous bodies of salt water and cover a significant portion of earth surface whereas seas are smaller and covered by land and are in daily use by the humans for their livelihoods. However, the fresh water covers only 2.5 % of the earth surface and 98.8% of it is locked in ice and ground water and only 0.3 % is available in rivers, lakes and atmosphere. With the rising threat of climate change all over the world and with rising population pressure and consequent depletion of life sustaining resources like forests, clean air and soil the water availability is going to determine the future of continuat...

Delimitation policy need total revisit

 Polity of Delimitation of Constituencies By: (Dr VK Bahuguna) (Former IFS officer and Chairman Centre for Resource Management and Environment) The democratic nations are governed by the public representatives who are elected by the public through universal franchise and, India is one of the biggest democratic countries in the world with a population of 142 crore people. The Article 82 of the constitution lays down the procedure of delimitation of constituencies for determining the number of Lok Sabha (House of People) seats and similarly Article 170 lays down the provisions of determining the strength of state assemblies. This process empowers the Parliament to constitute a Delimitation Commission after passing the Delimitation Act after every census. The Delimitation Commission is headed by a Supreme Court Judge and its job is to redraw the boundaries and numbers of constituencies based on ‘one citizen, one voter with one value’ and works on the principle of equity while distribu...
