Message from Convenor

SDGC 2020

January 10, 2020

Dear Colleagues,

21st Centaury is a centaury of technology, globalization and communication. The

humanity has seen the heights of achievement in last century. Development in the mode of

production, means of transportation and many more innovations made the human life better

and prosperous. But, the environmental cost of this development is very high. Gigantic

exploitation of natural resources especially from third world has left nothing in their hands.

With industrial development one side and another side we have, polluted rivers, worst

ambient air quality, degraded soil resources, piles of solid waste and burning forests.

Sustainable management approach can avoid natural capital degradation without

compromising economic growth. Sustainable development is a “the development that meets

the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generation to

meet their own needs” as stated by Brundtland Commission in 1987. In 21st century, to

combat the environmental degradation and achieve sustainable development, United Nations

Development Programme (UNDP) has taken these challenges as goals to be achieved in this

century as Sustainable Development Goals, (SDGs). It is a responsibility of every nation to

contribute in achieving the sustainable development goals. Academic institutes, Government

organizations, researchers and NGOs must be forerunner in this mission. I am glad to be a

convenor of the International Conference on „Sustainable Development: Goals for 21st

Centaury‟. A conference organized by Dept. of Environment Management, CSIBER, a

pioneer institute in the management studies and MPCB is a leading government organization

in pollution management.

I wish a great success for the conference.

PREFACE

The complex and inter-related environmental problems involves scientific, social,

political & economic aspects. Acceptable solutions to avoid natural capital degradation are

obtained by sustainable management only through ecosystem approach. Sustainable

management is a watchword of today`s society which is the development that meets the needs

of the present without compromising the ability of future generation to meet their own needs.

Along with the economic growth, the world leaders have decided to combat the challenges

like poverty, hunger, health etc. along with water availability, clean energy, climate action

and many more. United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has taken these 17

challenges as goals to be achieved in this century till 2020.

Through integrated approaches the economic requirements are balanced with the

ecological concerns and need of the people & society are satisfied without jeopardizing the

prospects of future generation. Being a pioneer academic institute in Environment

Management, CSIBER Kolhapur has taken an initiative by organizing the International

Conference on Sustainable Development: Goals for 21st

Century.

Sustainable Agriculture: to Prevent Global Hunger

Prof. (Dr.) Rohana P. Mahaliyanaarachchi

Abstract: It is a fact today that one in nine people around the world doesn’t have enough to eat, and

numbers are rising. According to United Nations information, 821 million people in the world suffer

from hunger today. Hunger can manifest itself in different ways – undernourishment, malnutrition

and wasting. According to the World Food Program, undernourishment occurs when people do not

take in enough calories to meet minimum physiological needs. Malnutrition is when people have an

inadequate intake of protein, energy and micronutrients. Starved of the right nutrition, they can die

from common infections such as measles or diarrhoea. Wasting, usually the result of starvation or

disease, is an indicator of acute malnutrition with substantial weight loss.

According to the UN program of “Sustainable Development goals 2030”, aiming to end poverty in

2030 there are 17 goals and among them second goal is Zero Hunger in 2030. Can we achieve this

goal within next decade?

When we explore the world current food production, it shows that the current production of crops is

sufficient to provide enough food for the projected global population of 9.7 billion in 2050. That

means current crop production itself is an overproduction and, if we can manage the wasting of the

food we can eradicate hunger from the world totally.

By sustainable agriculture can we eradicate hunger from the world? What is sustainable agriculture?

Sustainable Agriculture is the efficient production of safe, healthy, and high-quality agricultural

products, in a way that is environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable. Sustainable

agriculture is not only this, it includes proper management of food supply chain minimizing the both

food waste and food losses.

In sustainable agriculture we need to promote good nutrition through education, promoting better

local farming methods, increasing local food processing , opposed junk food , helped communities to




reclaim their nutritious traditional foods and pay more attention on underutilized more nutritious food

crops that grow locally.

To reduce hunger, we need to minimize wastage and loss of food from production to the plate, invest

more on cultivation of nutrition rich food crops and livestock , pay more attention on local and

traditional food production systems and food processing, use underutilized food crops which has

more nutrition value, increase local food production and wastage at production level and make

investment to equity in food systems include rural infrastructure, access to markets, knowledge and

technology, and improved storage and transport capacity to reduce post-harvest losses .

Industrial Symbiosis and Circular Economy

Mr. Ulhas Parlikar

Global Consultant, Thane, Maharashtra, India


Abstract: In the past 150 years, huge industrial growth has happened with linear economy taking

lead. This growth model has caused excessive and indiscriminate exploitation of our earth’s resources

and also has caused substantial stress on the availability of natural resources due to “extract – process

– utilize – discard” approach. This linear economy based growth has also caused substantial

environmental damage to the soil, water and air due to generated wastes, effluents and emissions. The

need of the hour is to adopt circular economy in which there is requirement of looking at wastes,

effluents and emissions in a new &different manner. There is need for these rejects from one

manufacturing industry to get converted into new by-products that can be utilized as secondary

materials by other manufacturing industries. This requires building industrial symbiosis through new

networks, collaborations and technologies. Several initiatives are being implemented world-wide in

designing different approaches to achieve industrial symbiosis. Several initiatives are also being taken

up to build Industrial Eco-Parks (IEP) in which the reject of one industry in the park is being

designed for utilizing it as resource by other industry in the same park. Industrial Symbiosis for

Circular Economy (ISCE) is a new digital initiative with which it is possible to build these networks

by identifying the barriers and resolving them.




Sustainable Development and Conservation of

Wildlife in India

Dr. Rajendra Ponde

Vice Principal

Willingdon College, Sangli, Maharashtra, India


Abstract: The prosperity of a nation is dependent on maintaining a fine balance between

development and the health of ecosystems. India is home to over 7% of the world's animal diversity.

India has 16 major forest types and is one of the 17 mega-diversity countries in the world. The

Himalayan Mountain ranges and Western Ghats are counted among the world's top eight "Hottest

Hotspots." Wildlife is our heritage, wealth and responsibility also. But we are loosing our precious

wealth due to--Need, greed and ignorance. There are many endangered species on the verge of

extinction. It is high time for utilizing all opportunities for saving wildlife and avoiding man-beast

conflicts. Indian wildlife is threatened by---

1. Degradation and loss of habitats due to some development compulsions.

2. Over-exploitation, over-consumption, unregulated trade, poaching.

3. Pollution, effects of climate change, unsustainable use of natural resources.

4. Lack of awareness and loss of traditional knowledge.

The major issues related with the conservation of wildlife in India are:

1. Increased mobility, transportation, human activities.

2. Increased man-beast conflicts in Urban and Rural areas.

3. Protection of habitats, Wetland habitats

4. Myths and superstitions related with wild animals.

5. Illegal trade of wild animals.

6. Problems of elephants, tigers, leopards, Bisons in Maharashtra and India.

7. Wildlife tourism.

Solutions for these issues are:

1. Community efforts are essential to save Wildlife

2. Forest Dept. Reformations.




3. Education to the people living on the brink of forest. i.e. creating awareness among the people,

tribal people.

4.Strict implementation of Kasturirangan Committee Report to save Western Ghats.

5.Strict measures to avoid poaching in reserved and unreserved forests.

According to the recent survey by Forestry Dept. the forest cover in India is increased by 13000 sq.

kms. but at the same time India lost 110 tigers and 491 leopards in the year 2019. Similarly other

creatures are also vanishing from Indian jungles. Is the development programme reversible to save

Wildlife? Can we go back? It’s high time to mobilise governments, communities and local

stakeholders towards conservation of wildlife in the country.

In the year 20215, 193 countries of U.N. adopted the 2030 Development Agenda titles Transforming

our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It includes 17 Sustainable

Development Goals (SDGs) it tackle all problems including climate change. The three important

goals of this agenda are:

1. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seats and marine resources for sustainable development.

2. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests,

combat desertification and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss.

3. Strengthen the means of implementation and halt and reverse land degradation and halt

biodiversity loss.

Reasons and Effects of Global Warming

Dr. C. S. Kale

Asst. Professor

Chhatrapati Shahu Institute of Business Education and Research, Kolhapur, Maharashtra, India


Abstract: Climate change is the term for the shift in worldwide weather phenomena associated with

an increase in global average temperatures. Temperatures have been going up around the world for

many decades. While this temperature increase is more specifically referred to as global warming

climate change is the term currently used. The paper will explain the concept of Climate Change

Performance Index and its various parameters. Global warming is affecting all. The reasons for

global Warming and the lessons we can learn from it are important. The paper will highlight the

reasons and effects of global warming today. A report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate

Change (IPCC) has warned of disastrous consequences if current trends of global warming are not

reversed immediately. The report says that the impact of a 1.5C increase in global temperatures will

"disproportionately affect disadvantaged and vulnerable populations through food insecurity, higher

food prices, income losses, lost livelihood opportunities, adverse health impacts, and population

displacements". India stands to be one of the nations most significantly affected, given its huge

population and levels of inequality and poverty.

Keywords: Climate Change, Global Warming, Emissions.




Fresh Water Consumption and Effluent Management System in Sugar

Factories

Vanistha Shukla, Amresh Pratap Singh & Narendra Mohan

National Sugar Institute, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India


Abstract: India has emerged as the biggest producer as well as consumer of the sugar. At present

sugar is being produced in 532 operational sugar factories which use appreciable amount of fresh

water from natural resources and generate large quantities of effluent as well. Till few years back in

the sugar factories situated in northern India, the fresh water consumption and effluent generation

were about 100-150 litre/ton and 250-300 litre/ton of sugarcane crushed respectively. As a result of

“Model Condensate Conservation and Water Management System” developed by the institute and

implementation of other control measures, the fresh water usage and effluent discharge have been

brought down to 50-100 litre/ton and below 200 liters/ton of cane crushed respectively. The authors

have also been instrumental in modifying the conventional effluent treatment system by introducing

“Sulphate Removal System” in plantation white sugar factories following “Double Sulphitation” so

as to keep quality parameters within norms. The authors have also tried a novel “Electro-coagulation

Technique” for treatment of effluents and other waste waters with encouraging results. Studies on

“Sulphate Removal System” followed by “Electro-coagulation Technique “indicated reduction in

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) by 45-55%, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) by 75-85%, Biological

Oxygen Demand (BOD) by 75-85% and Sulphate content by 50-60%.

Keywords: Effluents, Electro-coagulation, Sulphate Removal System, Condensate.




A Review on Industrial Safety

Sushrut Kukade

Kolhapur Institute of Technology, Kolhapur, Maharashtra, India


Abstract: Industrial safety is an important factor to be considered at every workplace for every level

of management. Ignorance, misunderstanding & forgetting guidelines are the major reasons for most

of the accidents. The purpose of the study is to determine actions that should be taken to manage the

risks associated and to improve industrial health and safety. A series of research papers and articles

have been reviewed. Findings from a number of surveys and studies for profiling safety attitudes,

safety climate and behaviour of employees in workplace at different work conditions obtained by

questionnaire and interviewing different entities have been reviewed. This paper provides correlation

between safety climate, safety knowledge, safety motivation and safety behaviour. Study of

relationship between Occupational Safety and Health series (OSHAS) 18001 certification and the

rates of accidents at companies have been done. Prediction of risks associated can be a key for

protective actions prior to the accidents. Artificial Neuron Networks (ANN) is a method used for

prediction. Psychological approach to safety, Organisational strategies and Transformational

leadership for safety should be implemented for improving safety climate and changing safety

attitudes of employee. Authority to take initiatives in critical cases autonomously should be given to

the leader of safety. Transformational leaders encourage the employee for personal safety and

participate in organisational safety goals.

Keywords: Safety Climate, Safety Attitudes, Artificial Neuron networks, Transformational leaders.




Major Legal Enactments for Industrial Safety in India

Mr. Shripad Shridhar Desai

Assistant Professor

Shahaji Law College, Kolhapur, Maharashtra, India


Abstract: India being a developing nation with interests in growth and flourishing developmental

ideologies, the mandates of courts are envisioned in a development-oriented manner, where the

concept of Sustainable Development arises. A relatively new concept for India to focus on in terms of

resource utilisation is reducing our collective carbon footprint and pollution levels. Sustainable

development law is found at the intersection of three primary fields of law: international economic

law, international environmental law and international social law. It refers to an emerging substantive

body of legal instruments, norms and treaties, supported by distinctive procedural elements. This is

incorporated on the justification that future generations may benefit from policies and laws that

advocate environmental protection as well as developmental goals. A safe and healthy work

environment is the basic right of every worker. However, the global situation falls far short of this

right. The International Labour Organisation (ILO) estimates that more than 125 million workers are

victims of occupational accidents and disease in a single year. Of these approximately 2,20,000

workers die and about 10 million are seriously disabled. Thus, this article deals with the socio-

economic legal framework for the safety in industrial establishment, basically the major laws enacted

by Indian Legislature to safety measures in industries, so that the vital organ of the Indian economy

i.e., labour/worker can be work with safe and secure environment.

Keywords: Industrial Safety, Laws in India.




Solid waste management plan for temple waste generated at

Mahalakshmi Temple Kolhapur

Ms. Pooja Yakanalli, Shubham D. Jogdand

T.Y.B.Tech

Department of Environmental Engg

KIT College of Engineering, Kolhapur, Maharashtra, India


Abstract: India is widely known as the “land of temples” and these temples which are meant to help

find humans peace and calm are instead turning out to become a cause huge waste menace, due to the

large amount of waste that gets generated that took on a daily basis. The handling of such waste

becomes a significant task because of its unique characteristic generally comprising of offering to

various deities. There is estimate of about around 700-800 million tonnes of floral waste getting

generated across India in several temple. One can see this as a huge downside but with proper

planning and waste management strategies this floral waste can become an excellent source of

revenue. Several temples across India have already working on systematic temple waste management

programmes to efficiently tackle floral waste and several research are undergoing to utilize this floral

waste and make products, Out of these some products like incenses stick, dhoopbatti etc made from

floral waste which are completely organic and better that its counterparts loaded with synthetic raw

material and also help achieve circular economy. Kolhapur is widely famous for Mahalakshmi

Temple and attracts several million devotes every year. This temple constructed in around 7 century

AD is one of the important shaktipeeths in Maharashtra. With these enormous number of devotes

coming there arises a promising opportunity and also a need for efficient waste management that not

just handles floral waste but other waste generated in the temple premises.

Keywords: Floral waste, Temple waste Management, Mahalakshmi Temple.




Study of Degradation of Organic Food Waste and Agriculture Waste

for Production of Biogas

Pokharnikar N. B. and Raut P. D.

Department of Environmental Science,

Shivaji University, Kolhapur


Abstract: Organic substances exist in wide variety from living being to dead organisms. Organic

matter is composed of carbon combined with elements such as hydrogen (H) Oxygen (O) Nitrogen

(N) Sulphur (S) to form variety of organic compounds such as carbohydrates, proteins and lipids.

Organic solid waste disposal is a polite term for garbage management.

Natural generation of biogas is an important part of biogeochemical carbon cycle. Biogas is produced

by bacteria. Present study deals with different types of organic waste samples collected from different

areas of Kolhapur city such as food waste and agricultural waste. Different organic waste sample

were kept for degradation with increase in retention time from 1 day to 45 days.

During the study parameters like pH, EC, Total solids, Total dissolved solids, COD, Nitrogen,

Phosphorous and Potassium were studied after every 10 days of interval. The results are interesting

showing increased biogas by use of microorganisms .It is also shown in the study that .If less energy

is available for growth of microorganism less microbial biomass is produced. The results are

discussed in the paper.

Shivaji University, Kolhapur, Maharashtra, India


Abstract: Chlorantraniliprole is a novel insecticide introduced by DuPont Crop Protection (Tokyo,

Japan) in 2007 and now it is widely used to control agricultural pests from the Order Lepidopteron,

Coleopteran, Dipterans and Hemiptera species. Due to run off water and soil erosion these

insecticidesget introduced at nearest water bodies and thereby adversely affects non-target organism

like fishes. Acid phosphatase is a lysosomal,hydrolytic enzyme involved in cellular degradation.

Lysosome membrane is most vulnerable to numerous pesticides and can cause the loss of membrane

integrity. This results in leakage of acid phosphatase from the lysosome to the cytoplasm. Lysosomes

are now unable to digest the damaged cell organelles. Fingerlings of freshwater fishes are

acclimatized in glass aquarium for seven days. After acclimatization, they were exposed to

predetermined LC0 and LC50 concentration of Chlorantraniliprole in twenty liter test container for 96

hrs (Static bioassay method). It was observed that the acid phosphatase activity in muscle intestine

and liver were significantly decreased in LC0 and LC50 concentration as compared to the control

group, which in turn inferes that the selected insecticide Chlorantraniliprole, interferes in normal

lysosomal function.

Keywords: Acid phosphatase, Lysosome, Acute toxicity, Chlorantraniliprole, Cirrhinus mrigala.

Sustainable Agriculture

Dr. Mrs. Swapnali Aniket Bhilavade

Department of Economics



Abstract: Sustainable agriculture is a type of agriculture that focuses on producing long-term crops

and livestock while having minimal effects on the environment. This type of agriculture tries to find a

good balance between the need for food production and the preservation of the ecological system

within the environment. In addition to producing food, there are several overall goals associated with

sustainable agriculture, including conservation of water, reducing the use of fertilizers and pesticides,

and promoting biodiversity in crops grown and the ecosystem. Sustainable agriculture also focuses on

maintaining economic stability of farms and helping farmers improve their techniques and quality of

life. Sustainable farming can merely be referred as „Responsible Farming‟. The concept of sustainable

agriculture gained prominence since the publication of the Brundtland Report in 1987. Sustainable

Agriculture involves the processes that would enable to meet the current and long term societal needs

for food, fiber and other resources, while maximizing benefits through the conservation of natural

resources and maintenance of ecosystem functions. Sustainable Agriculture emphasizes on methods

and processes that improve soil productivity while minimizing harmful effects on the climate, soil,

water, air, biodiversity and human health. The Principles of Sustainable Agriculture involves

Environmental sustainability, Economic sustainability and Social sustainability. Environmental

protection, Energy Saving, Food security, Economic profitability and Economic and social equity are

some of the benefits of Sustainable Agriculture. Sustainable Agriculture can be achieved by Crop

rotation, Biointensive Integrated Pest Management (IPM), Agro forestry, Permaculture, Organic

Farming, LEISA (Low External Input sustainable Agriculture, Zero Budget Natural farming,

Biodynamic agriculture and Conservation Agriculture. Sustainable agriculture is best considered as

an ecosystem approach to agriculture, called Agroecology. For the long term goal achievement of

agricultural production without depleting the natural resources, there is a need for implementation of

Sustainable Agriculture.

Abstract: In India, sugar industry is in the phase of accelerated growth and expansion, due to the

growing demand for the sugar and it’s by products. At present, the annual output of sugar in India is

98 lakh tons and also byproduct release is in large amount. Around, 52.4 lakh tons of pressmud is

being produced every year. The chemical composition of pressmud varies with cane variety, soil

condition, nutrient applied in the field, process of clarification adopted and other environmental

factors Therefore, before use of pressmud there is a need to check composition of pressmud of sugar

factories situated in different localities in Kolhapur district. Pressmud contains 7-15% of wax. This

wax deteriorates the physical property such as permeability, aeration, soil structure and composition

etc. Sugarcane wax has always been a matter of interest, due to its industrial applications, in

particular in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry. Thus, the objective of the present study is to

analyse physico-chemical characters of waxed and dewaxed pressmud of four sugar factories in three

consecutive years to check the variation in composition. Results shows that all the characters of

pressmud of four sugar factories are in the same range of basic composition of pressmud. The results

are discussed in the paper.

Abstract: Increase in population and urbanization has lead to water depletion and deterioration in

water quality. Construction of Sewage Treatment Plants (STP) based on latest technologies in

different parts of the country is necessary to reduce the problem of water pollution. The purpose of

STP is to reduce the excessive contaminants from sewage and make the sewage reusable. Sewage

treatment helps to reduce the pollution level of the water bodies and reduce the use of water by

ensuring that treated water is used for irrigation & flushing toilets. Thus, the efficient working of the

STP is utmost important. Anaerobic and aerobic biological processes are commonly used for

wastewater treatment. The efficiency of individual units of STP determines the overall performance

of the plant and quality of the final treated effluent in accordance with the prescribed governmental

standards. This paper presents a critical review on the treatment of sewage by aerobic process and

specifically by Activated Sludge Process (ASP) and its modifications. From the present paper it can

be concluded that Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) technology is good in treating sewage.

Abstract: Indigenous technical Knowledge (ITK) is the local knowledge- Knowledge that is unique

to a given culture or society. This knowledge system is usually not found in written form and it

transmits from generation to generation through word of mouth. It includes concepts, beliefs and

perception and usually found in various folk forms. It is more closely linked to farming experience

and captures much more than modern science.

The rural people have intimate knowledge of many aspects of surroundings and adopt them based on

needs to solve local problems in managing agriculture and related activities. It is subjective and more

closely linked with farming and involves low cost input use and conservation of natural resources.

This knowledge is localized and situation specific and one cannot generalize it. It is dynamic and may

modify over a period of time. It is a strong base for sustainable farming which is threatened to be

Extinct in the near future.

College of Non-conventional Vocational Courses for Women (CNCVW), Kolhapur, Maharashtra,

affiliated to Shivaji University, Kolhapur, India


Abstract: Mining is one of the core sectors that drive growth in an economy. The National Mineral

Policy 2019, proposes to increase the production of major minerals by 200 per cent in seven years

and reduce trade deficit in mineral sector by 50 per cent in seven years. Establishment of National

Mineral Exploration Trust ( NEMT), District Mineral Foundation (DMF) along with Corporate Social

Responsibilities (CSR) activities will contribute to a great extent to the overall development of

mining industries. As per the new policy, the mining sector is given industrial sector. Much of the

area in India is still unexplored to establish mineral under G2 category which is the minimum level of

reserve base for auctioning of major minerals. Environmental impacts of mining are far and wide.

After getting the mining lease from the government, obtaining environmental clearance, forest

clearance and wildlife clearance is very difficult and very long process which might take even ten

years and even after that may also the project get rejected. This process jeopardizes the economics of

entire mining project. The Policy also introduces the concept of Inter-Generational Equity that deals

with the well-being not only of the present generation but also of the generations to come and also

proposes to constitute an inter-ministerial body to institutionalize the mechanism for ensuring

sustainable development in mining. A key proposal that has been introduced in the NMP is the

creation of „Exclusive Mining Zones‟. These „zones‟ will come with approved, in-principle

clearances to “curtail delay in commencement of mining operations”. However, environmental

impacts minor minerals including cluster of small mines / stone quarries, monitoring of post mining

activities and illegal mining operations pose a big challenges to achieve the goal of sustainable

development.

Abstract: Municipal solid waste management (MSWM) is one of the major environmental problems

of Indian cities. Improper management of municipal solid waste (MSW) causes uncleanliness, health

hazards, and pollution. Various studies reveal that about 90% of MSW is disposed of unscientically in

open dumps and landfills, creating problems for public health and the environment. In the preview of

the above situation, the present study intends to assess the major parameters of MSWM.A study on

Municipal solid waste management in Indian cities – A review reveals Most of the MSW in India is

dumped on land in an uncontrolled manner. Such inadequate disposal practices lead to problems that

will impair human and animal health and result in economic, environmental and biologicallosses.

It was felt that Urban Local Bodies face challenges in zeroing down on methods for treatment &

disposal of municipal solid waste due toKnowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) Gap in handling the

waste. The education and practice strategies for sustainable solutions will be possible through

people’s participation. The active involvement of all the stake holders in society will help in

achieving zero waste in cities.
