PROGRESS REPORT

Certificate Course on “Environment Impact Assessment (EIA)” under Green Skill Development Program (GSDP)

Organised by ENVIS HUB, EPTRI

Sponsored by EI‐Division, MoEF&CC, Government of India

Duration 16th December 2019 to 1st February,2020 (300 Hrs Course ) Venue EPTRI, Hyderabad

The Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MoEF&CC), Government of India,

has taken up an initiative for the Skill Development in the Environment and Forest sector to

enable unemployed youth to get gainful employment. This programme endeavours to impart

Green Skilled working skill to candidates having minimum technical knowledge and aptitude

in the respective field which contributes to the Sustainable Development.

A growing shortage of persons with hand on experience in Environmental Impact Assessment

(EIA) is needed as the developmental activities of the nation are mostly looked along with the

environment protection. It is vital to conform socio-economic development projects to

environmental safety and thereby ensure sustainable economic development. Keeping in view

of this, the EI Division, MoEFCC has awarded a Certificate Course on “Environment Impact

Assessment” under Green Skill Development Programme to ENVIS HUB, EPTRI. The target

group for this course are science and Engineering graduates. Therefore, this certificate course

would serve as a source of employment in various Environment Consultancy, pollution

control Boards, Environmental Laboratories, and as well as in all the industries who are

having Environment wings as there is a huge demand of Skilled Environmental Experts.

A total of 23 participants (List enclosed as Annexure I with attendance sheet) have

undergone training under Green Skill Development Programme (GSDP) on “Environmental

Impact Assessment (EIA)” at EPTRI, Hyderabad from 116th December 2019 to 1st

February,2020. Among the 23 participants 14 are female candidates and 9 are male

candidates. The participants belonged to different castes, 2 of BC‐D, 3 of BC‐B, 4 of OBC, 5

of SC and 7 from General category. The students were imparted theory and practical

knowledge by conducting Laboratory exposure and field visits. There were taken to Common

Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP), Jeedimetla and Amberpet (STP) and Medipally Open Cast

Mine, Ramagundam area. The students received the certificate from MoEF&CC, GoI.



Introduction

The students were selected through selection committee in the Walk –in -interview as per the

GSDP guidelines. The selection committee comprised of Shri S.D. Mukherji, IFS (Retd.),

Advisor & Head ESD, EPTRI, Mr.Raveendhar, Chief Scientist, Mr.S.Kavitha, EIA

Coordinator, and Mr. Sumathi, Environmental Scientist, TSPCB.

The selected candidates were intimated through mail and phone calls. After acceptance from the selected candidates, there is no short fall of the candidates for the course. Hence, the course started as per the programme schedule with 23 candidates.

The students were provided with ID card, Folder, Long Note Book, Study material and Stationary.

The programme schedule along with Resource person of this training course is placed at Annexure -II.

The training course is divided into three parts 1. Theory Classes on the subject on EIA.2. Hands on training in the Chemical Lab, Microbiology Lab, Air Lab and Instrument Lab.3. Field visits to the CETP, STP, Open cast mine and EPTRI.

Inaugural Session

Inaugural session started by Dr.M.Suneela, ENVIS Coordinator with a speech on highlighting

the GSDP initiation by MoEFCC and later Mrs. S.Kavitha has given introduction on the

course content . The programme was followed by lightening of lamps by the chief guests.

Shri.B. Kalyan Chakravarthy, Director General EPTRI,Sri S.D.Mukherji, IFS (Retd),

Advisor, EPTRI and Dr.P.V.Subba Rao, Director, EPTRI shared the significance of pollution
