GIDB GIDR GIDS

Gujarat’s relentless quest for all-round
development is bearing fruits. For one of the
youngest states of the Indian federation,
Gujarat’s track record is impressive by far.
Formed only in 1960, the state has made rapid
progress on all fronts, be it economic growth,
human resource development, or diversifying its
industrial base. At the time of its creation, it
was largely an agrarian economy with little
industrial base. Today it accounts for nearly 19%
of the total industrial investments in India and
has emerged as a leading industrial State in the
country. In a very short time, it has evolved into
an economy dominated primarily by the
manufacturing and the service sector.
Located on the Western coast of India, Gujarat
has the longest coastline in the country of about
1600 kms. Lying on the busy Delhi-Bombay
railway/road linkage in the country, it is well
connected to the prosperous north and south.
Its long coastline gives it a natural advantage to
play host to foreign trade and considering its
location and its connectivity to the rest of the
country Gujarat is the natural "Gateway" to the
fast growing economies of northern and central
India, which accounts for about 35% of the
country’s GDP. Gujarat, today, is one of the
nerve centres of economic activity in the
country. The largest share of Foreign Direct
Investment which has come to the state in the
post-liberalisation era bears an ample testimony
to it. Conducive business environment,
abundance of natural resources, skilled and
semi-skilled manpower, proximity to markets,
responsive administration are just a few reasons
why Gujarat has attained a leading position.
Successive governments in Gujarat have
focussed on creating a profit-driven
environment that helps businesses achieve long-
term success. This has been done by steadily
implementing a program of structural reforms
to make Gujarat a vibrant economy, which is
growing at a real rate of 6.55% per annum.
Growing industrialisation of the State,
increasing needs of the people for better quality
of life and the need to cater to the burgeoning
trade through the hinterland has put
tremendous pressure on the existing
infrastructure in the State. Therefore there is a
clear need for World Class Infrastructure to
sustain this rapid pace of economic growth.
Gujarat Institute of Development Research,
established in 1970, is now a premier
organisation recognised and supported by the
Indian Council of Social Science Research. It is
well established in undertaking research related
to development issues. The major thrust areas
of research at the Institute are Natural Resource
Development and Management, Human
Development, Industry and Finance.
In the area of Natural Resource Development
and Management, the Institute's faculty has
carried out in depth studies relating to some of
the major development interventions like
Participatory Irrigation Management, Watershed
Development Programmes, Joint Forest
Management and Protected Area Management.
These studies focus mainly on aspects relating
to economic viability, equity and institutional
mechanisms. Besides these, they also explore
the inter-relationship between community
based management, the government and NGOs.
Some of these studies based on careful
empirical enquiry at the micro level have
contributed to the ongoing debates on
sustainable environment and institutions. Issues
in Common Property Land Resources (CPLRs)
and land use have also been researched
extensively.
The research in Human Development focuses on
population, labour and poverty issues. The
studies relate to quality of life, education,
social infrastructure, diversification of
economic activities and migration. The
informalisation process in the labour and
production systems leading to poverty and
social security issues forms another important
theme. The research on health and family
welfare has contributed towards developing a
framework for target free approach in family
planning. In the informal sector debate the
research has focused in the collection of social
statistics to influence policies for better labour
conditions and social security reforms.
The research in the area of Industry focuses on
the response of small enterprises to the
changing government policies in the wake of
liberalisation. The research has contributed to
work on industrial clusters, flexible
specialization and addresses issues involving
intellectual property regimes.
The Institute was established in 1973 as an
autonomous research institute on the initiative
of some leading social scientists and eminent
personalities. In 1977 the Institute was brought
within the umbrella of the Indian Council of
Social Science Research and was accorded the
status of an institution of national importance.
Since then it has been regularly receiving
financial support from the Indian Council of
Social Science Research and the Government of
Uttar Pradesh on a matching basis. The
management of the Institute is vested in a
Board of Governors comprising eminent persons,
distinguished scholars and nominees of the
Government of U.P. and the ICSSR.
The main objectives of the Institute are:
1. To undertake, aid, co-ordinate and
promote research on development with
special emphasis on the problems of India
and her regions, particularly the
promotion and growth of the weaker and
poorer sections of the people with a view
to bringing about social equality and
removing economic disparity.
2. To provide academic and professional
guidance, advice and consultancy to
agencies, institutions and individuals in
the field of research and action on
development.
3. To offer programme of advanced training
to researchers and practitioners in the
field of development with a view to
improving the quality of research,
programme formulation and
implementation.
4. And to collaborate with other agencies,
institutions and organisations in their
research and training activities.

IPCC
The IPCC was established to provide the
decision-makers and others interested in
climate change with an objective source of
information about climate change. The IPCC
does not conduct any research nor does it
monitor climate related data or parameters. Its
role is to assess on a comprehensive, objective,
open and transparent basis the latest scientific,
technical and socio-economic literature
produced worldwide relevant to the
understanding of the risk of human-induced
climate change, its observed and projected
impacts and options for adaptation and
mitigation. IPCC reports should be neutral with
respect to policy, although they need to deal
objectively with policy relevant scientific,
technical and socio economic factors. They
should be of high scientific and technical
standards, and aim to reflect a range of views,
expertise and wide geographical coverage.
The IPCC is a scientific intergovernmental body
set up by the World Meteorological Organization
(WMO) and by the United Nations Environment
Programme (UNEP). Its constituency is made of :
• The governments: the IPCC is open to
all member countries of WMO and
UNEP. Governments of participate in
plenary Sessions of the IPCC where

One of mankind's greatest challenges is to
achieve an appropriate balance between
developing natural resources and maintaining an
optimal natural environment. To meet this
challenge, we need detailed and reliable geo-
information and geo-information management
tools.
At the International Institute for Geo-
Information Science and Earth Observation
(ITC), knowledge of geo-information
management is plenty available and is
continually being developed and extended. By
means of education, research and project
services, we contribute to capacity building in
countries that are economically and/or
technologically less advanced. In doing so,
considerable attention is paid to the
development and application of geographical
information systems (GIS) for solving problems.
Such problems can range from determining the
risks of landslides, mapping forest fires,
planning urban infrastructure, and
implementing land administration systems, to
designing a good wildlife management system or
detecting environmental pollution.
he key words characterising our activities are
geo-information management, worldwide and
innovative. We concentrate on earth
observation, the generation of spatial
information, and the development of data
integration methods. Furthermore, we provide
tools that can support the processes of planning
and decision making for sustainable
development and the alleviation of poverty in
emerging economies. Based in Enschede, in the
east of the Netherlands, ITC is the largest

Cooperation (SDC)
The Swiss agency for development and
Cooperation (SDC) works in India with a central
focus on poverty reduction. Geographically its
cooperation programme has been concentrated
on semi-arid regions of the central Deccan
plateau (Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh,
Maharashtra) as well as on Kerala, Rajasthan,
Orissa, Sikkim and Gujarat.
SDC's programmes have contributed to people's
empowerment and poverty reduction by
focusing on three productivity enhancing
themes: retention and sustainable use of water,
rural energy and housing, rural finance and
employment creation. In addition, SDC has
supported Indian organisations in the fight for
inclusion and social justice and in the promotion
of the decentralisation process.
Starting in 1963 with a technical collaboration
in milk production, SDC’s partnership with
India’s development agenda has developed into
a diverse set of engagements covering natural
resource management, rural finance and
livelihoods, decentralisation of power,
empowerment of the discriminated,
environment and pollution, humanitarian
assistance as well as the human and
institutional development of the development

In addition to SDC, the State Secretariat for
Economic Affairs (SECO) as well as some 60

them with SDC support) are active in India.

TERI
TERI was formally established in 1974 with the
purpose of tackling and dealing with the
immense and acute problems that mankind is
likely to be faced with in the years ahead
On account of the gradual depletion of the
earth’s finite energy resources which are largely
non-renewable.On account of the existing
methods of their use which are polluting.
Over the years the Institute has developed a
wider interpretation of this core purpose and its
application. Consequently, TERI has created an
environment that is enabling, dynamic and
inspiring for the development of solutions to
global problems in the fields of energy,
environment and current patterns of
development, which are largely unsustainable.
The Institute has grown substantially over the
years, particularly, since it launched its own
research activities and established a base in
New Delhi, its registered headquarters. The
central element of TERI’s philosophy has been
its reliance on entrepreneurial skills to create
benefits for society through the development
and dissemination of intellectual property. The
strength of the Institute lies in not only
identifying and articulating intellectual
challenges straddling a number of disciplines of
knowledge but also in mounting research,
training and demonstration projects leading to
development of specific problem-based
advanced technologies that help carry benefits
to society at large.
The Institute’s growth has been evolutionary,
driven by a vision of the future and rooted in
challenges looming today, based on an approach
that looks beyond the present and across the
globe. TERI has, therefore, grown to establish a
presence not only in different corners and
regions of India but is perhaps the only
developing country institution to have
established a presence in North America and
Europe and on the Asian continent in Japan,
Malaysia and the Gulf.

Every day, all around the world, we are making
it possible for more than one million human
beings to live, work, and breathe in our
buildings. This is why we care so deeply about
sustainable development, because we pride
ourselves in not just what we do, but how we do
it.
Tishman Speyer is at the forefront of
environmentally sustainable development,
incorporating the latest technologies and
advancements into projects throughout North
America, Europe, Brazil, China, and India. Our
continuing commitment to sustainability allows
us to save on natural resources by using them
more efficiently and economically, while
creating something lasting that is better both
for our environment and our health.
There is a moral imperative at work today in the
building, maintaining and investing of our
projects. Some talk of "green." To us, the notion
of green lacks the definition and detail that we
demand in everything we do. We are, and
believe we must be, committed to sustainable
design, architecture, and maintenance - from
conception to construction to HVAC systems and
cleaning products - for the simple reason that
buildings are living, breathing things, a part of
the environment, constantly interacting with
the people who inhabit them.

UNESCO
UNESCO New Delhi Office, the Organization's
first decentralized Office in Asia was
established in 1948. At its inception, it dealt
with science and technology programmes in
eleven South and Central Asian countries, i.e.
Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Iran,
Maldives, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan
and Sri Lanka. In time, it incorporated
communication programmes, and still later
expanded to include education and culture.
As part of UNESCO's new decentralization
policy, UNESCO New Delhi is presently
designated as a Cluster Office and is a platform
for delivery of activities in all areas of
UNESCO’s competence, namely, education, the
natural and social sciences, culture,
communication and information. It implements
a biennial Cluster programme that is integrated
within itself and with the overall goals of the
Organization. This is done through a
fundamental operating principle - consultation
and consensus with the National Commissions of
the Member States, Regional Bureaus, civil
society representatives, and other stakeholders
and partners. The New Delhi Office is now
mandated to cover six countries of South Asia --
Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal and
Sri Lanka.

UNFPA
UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, is
an international development agency that
promotes the right of every woman, man and
child to enjoy a life of health and equal
opportunity. UNFPA supports countries in using
population data for policies and programmes to
reduce poverty and to ensure that every
pregnancy is wanted, every birth is safe, every
young person is free of HIV/AIDS, and every girl
and woman is treated with dignity and respect.
UNFPA - because everyone counts
UNFPA seeks to improve the lives and expand
the choices of individuals and couples. Over
time, the reproductive choices they make,
multiplied across communities and countries,
alter population structures and trends.
UNFPA helps governments, at their request, to
formulate policies and strategies to reduce
poverty and support sustainable development.
The Fund also assists countries to collect and
analyse population data that can help them
understand population trends. And it
encourages governments to take into account
the needs of future generations, as well as
those alive today.

UN-HABITAT
The United Nations Human
Settlements Programme, UN-
HABITAT, is the United Nations
agency for human settlements. It is mandated
by the UN General Assembly to promote socially
and environmentally sustainable towns and
cities with the goal of providing adequate
shelter for all.
Towns and cities are growing today at
unprecedented rates setting the social,
political, cultural and environmental trends of
the world, both good and bad. In 1950, one-
third of the world's people lived in cities. Just
50 years later, this rose to one-half and will
continue to grow to two-thirds, or 6 billion
people, by 2050. Cities are now home to half of
humankind.
UN-HABITAT's programmes are designed to help
policy-makers and local communities get to
grips with the human settlements and urban
issues and find workable, lasting solutions. The
organization's mandate is outlined in the
Vancouver Declaration on Human Settlements,
Habitat Agenda, Istanbul Declaration on Human
Settlements, the Declaration on Cities and
Other Human Settlements in the New
Millennium, and Resolution 56/206. UN-
HABITAT's work is directly related to the United
Nations Millennium Declaration, particularly the
goals of member States to improve the lives of
at least 100 million slum dwellers by the year
2020, Target 11, Millennium Development Goal
No. 7, and Target 10 which calls for the
reduction by half of the number without
sustainable access to safe drinking water.
UN-HABITAT's strategic vision is anchored in a
four-pillar strategy aimed at attaining the goal
of Cities without Slums. This strategy consists
of advocacy of global norms, analysis of
information, field-testing of solutions and
financing. These fall under the four core
functions assigned to the agency by world
governments - monitoring and research, policy
development, capacity building and financing
for housing and urban development.

UNICEF
UNICEF is the driving force that helps build a
world where the rights of every child are
realized. We have the global authority to
influence decision-makers, and the variety of
partners at grassroots level to turn the most
innovative ideas into reality. That makes us
unique among world organizations, and unique
among those working with the young.
We believe that nurturing and caring for
children are the cornerstones of human
progress. UNICEF was created with this purpose
in mind – to work with others to overcome the
obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and
discrimination place in a child’s path. We
believe that we can, together, advance the
cause of humanity.
We promote girls’ education – ensuring that
they complete primary education as a minimum
– because it benefits all children, both girls and
boys. Girls who are educated grow up to
become better thinkers, better citizens, and
better parents to their own children.
We act so that all children are immunized
against common childhood diseases, and are
well nourished, because it is wrong for a child
to suffer or die from a preventable illness.
We are part of the Global Movement for
Children – a broad coalition dedicated to
improving the life of every child. Through this
movement, and events such as the United
Nations Special Session on Children, we
encourage young people to speak out and
participate in the decisions that affect their
lives.
We work in 190 countries through country
programmes and National Committees. We are

WMO
The World Meteorological
Organization (WMO) is a specialized agency of
the United Nations. It is the UN system's
authoritative voice on the state and behaviour
of the Earth's atmosphere, its interaction with
the oceans, the climate it produces and the
resulting distribution of water resources.
WMO has a membership of 188Member States
and Territories (since 24 January 2007). It
originated from the International Meteorological
Organization (IMO), which was founded in 1873.
Established in 1950, WMO became the
specialized agency of the United Nations in 1951
for meteorology (weather and climate),
operational hydrology and related geophysical
sciences.
As weather, climate and the water cycle know
no national boundaries, international
cooperation at a global scale is essential for the
development of meteorology and operational
hydrology as well as to reap the benefits from
their application. WMO provides the framework
for such international cooperation.
WMO facilitates the free and unrestricted
exchange of data and information, products and
services in real- or near-real time on matters
relating to safety and security of society,
economic welfare and the protection of the
environment. It contributes to policy
formulation in these areas at national and
international levels.

WSP
The Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) is a
multi-donor partnership of the World Bank. Our
goal is to help the poor gain sustained access to
improved water supply and sanitation services
(WSS).
We work directly with client governments at the
local and national level in 25 countries through
4 regional offices and in the World Bank
headquarters, Washington D.C. Our aim is to
achieve the Millennium Development Goals of
halving the proportion of people without access
to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation
by 2015.
For almost thirty years, WSP has led or
supported many of the advances made within
the water and sanitation sector. We are able to
share best practices across regions and place a
strong focus on capacity building by forming
partnerships with nongovernmental
organizations, governments at all levels,
community organizations, private industry, and
donors. Our work helps to effect the regulatory
and structural changes needed for broad WSS
reform.
Our challenge is to replicate successful
approaches, continue targeted learning efforts,
and support reforms that will ensure the
adoption of sustainable investments in the
sector that in real terms help people rise from
poverty.
The Program began in 1979 as a cooperative
effort between The World Bank and the United
Nations Development Program to look at cost-
effective technologies and models for providing
safe water and sanitation to the world's poor.
Its basic purpose of providing safe water and
sanitation hasn't changed, but its governing
structure and methods have evolved along with
the world's views on how those services should
be provided.
