Kerala should develop an environment data: Gadgil

The architect of Western Ghats Expert Ecology Panel (WGEEP) report, Madhav Gadgil, on Tuesdaysaid Kerala needs to take a lead in developing publicly accessible information on India's environment.He urged the Kerala Shastra Sahitya Parishad (KSSP) to involve school and college students to collect data and prepare a comprehensive directory of different aspects of environment in Kerala."The state should prepare a comprehensive database of forest, streams, rivers, quarries, orchards and variety species in the state. Kerala should take advantage of the fact that it has been made mandatory for class XI and XII students to undertake a major project on environment as part of their curriculum,''' he said.He was speaking after inaugurating a two-day seminar organized by KSSP to commemorate the golden jubilee year in the state capital through video conferencing."The government should strictly enforce laws such as air and water acts to control pollution and provide teeth to local bodies like gram panchayats and zilla parishads to tackle pollution and mining issues,'' he said.Former member of WGEEP, V S Vijayan, said there is not a single word in the Gadgil report that is against the welfare of farmers. "But vested political interests used poor farmers as a buffer to stop implementation of the report as it would stop illegal activities like encroachments,'' he said.Vijayan said the Kasturirangan committee report that reviewed the WGEEP report had diluted many green recommendations. "The state should now keep summary of both the reports in the public domain. They should also translate both the reports into different regional languages including Malayalam and let people decide on the intrinsic value of each report and how it will impact their immediate neighbourhood,'' he said.Economist Venkatesh B Athreya said the KSSP while envisaging a sustainable development model for Kerala should include aspects such as free functioning of democratic process, decentralization and equitable distribution of wealth. "Science-based development should be paramount and that is the only way we can achieve true progress. High economic growth will not bring in sustainable development as the country saw the worst of mining and coal scams surfacing during the last five years,'' he said.
