The Story Of The Courageous Lady – Kinkri Devi

by with No Comment Environment

Kinkri Devi was a courageous lady who dared to raise her voice against illegal mining and quarrying in her native state of Himachal Pradesh during the late 1900’s and 2000’s. She never knew how to read or write but was active and instrumental in bringing about a change in society. She filed a lawsuit against 48 mine owners who were recklessly drilling away on the hills in pursuit of money not caring about the harmful consequences that it caused. The Supreme Court did not pay heed to the matter at first but later after Devi ji went on a hunger strike for 19 days her appeal was finally accepted in court. In 1947, the court finally issued a blanket ban on mining as her story began to be known widely around the world.

Her story got widely famous as she was approached by the first lady Hillary Clinton to attend the prestigious International Women Conference in Beijing. She lighted the lamp and spoke passionately about the need to conserve natural resources and how even ordinary people like her can make a greater and deeper impact in the society. A US based charity organisation identified her need for decent living conditions after reading an article about her and her struggles. Although mining operations continued on those hills but at a much more decreased level and proper precautions were taken to ensure that no harm occurred.

The Story Of Saalumarada Thimakka

by with No Comment Environment

While we continue to hamper the environment for our personal benefits there are very few who attempt to reverse the drastic consequences that human actions have on the environment. Out of these few environmentalists is Salumarrada Thimakka who is on a one-woman mission to convert her surroundings into a green abode for everyone to rest at and experience the uniqueness of nature. She started the initiative with her late husband and is now an inspiration for the people who are bothered and dare to dream to change the world. While many of us would disregard the need to get their hands in the mud and pave the way for others to join in, Saalumarada ji took this initiative when none could even dream about it.

Salumarrada Thimmaka is an avid environmentalist from Karnataka who has dedicated her life to plant and sustain trees for a better future for everybody. She is better noted for her work along the highway between Hulikal and Kudur where she planted close to 400 banyan trees as well as 8000 more in and around her village and surroundings. Both husband and wife used to travel 4 kilometres everyday to plant and nurture their little saplings, they used to manage them using whatever meagre resources they had. These saplings were like kids to them as they never had their own as Thimmakkas sacrificed and used everything they had to take care of these saplings that would soon grow up to be luscious trees that provided fruits and flowers to everyone. Her work has been honoured with the National Citizen’s Award of India. Her work was recognised by the Government of India and she was conferred with Padma Shri in 2019.

Chipko Andolan – The First Organized Non-Violent Protest

by with No Comment EnvironmentInspiring Story

This tree conservation movement was one of the earliest examples of non-violent protests that originated in India on such a wide scale. The Chipko Andolan started in 1973 in Uttarakhand to reduce the drastic deforestation that took place in those times. Sundarlal Bahugana was one of the prime members of this movement and helped in providing a proper direction to the peaceful protests. Chipko translates to “hug” or “cling to”, as women as well as children embraced trees to stop the loggers from cutting them. This small initiative soon expanded to cover the whole of the Himalayan region and ultimately became the “Save Himalaya Movement”. It was a movement that brought focus from all around the world onto how poor villagers especially women were eventful in bringing about a massive change and played a part in conserving the ecology.

19th century was a period in history when mass industrialisation was in full swing in India as forest contractors cut down trees and villagers faced hardships as their livelihood entirely depended on the resources derived from forests. This forced villagers to form groups and organise themselves around trees in the vicinity in an attempt to protect them from loggers. Chipko andolan gained momentum in and around the Himalayas as finally the then state chief minister Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna ruled a decision in their favour leading to a huge change in eco – development in the region and around the world.

Chipko Andolan paved a way for many ecological conservation societies to come into being, it became a live example of how even a few people can stand together to fight against various environmental ills. A major impact of the Chipko movement was that it prompted the Union government to amend the Forest act 1947 and introduce the new Forest Conservation Act 1980 which said that forest land cannot be used for commercial purposes. This is one of the very first examples of non – violent protests that shook the nation to its core and influenced the advent of many more eco groups around the world.

Wind Energy And Its Usage

by with No Comment Environment

Wind energy/power is the use of the all-pervasive wind to make electricity that is renewable and sustainable source of power. Wind power is not a new intervention, it has historically been used in sails, windmills etc but nowadays it is mostly used to generate electricity that can be used globally without the thought of it diminishing from the atmosphere. We mostly see the use of wind turbines to generate wind energy that is used both domestically as well as industrially. However, the use of wind power is not that prevalent today as many don’t even know about this, therefore today Impaac spreads awareness about wind energy and its usage.

Currently we are using up our resources that will take decades to renew itself while we anticipate its quick return. Everything we do in our everyday lives like lighting up our room, powering machines, driving cars etc. require energy leading to its quick diminishment. In the last couple of decades especially post industrialisation, energy use has increased manifold that will lead to drastic consequences on the earth. After years of research scientists have chanced upon methods like solar energy, wind energy, hydropower etc. as we have started acknowledging and using these resources in our day to day lives.

Wind energy is cost effective as well as a sustainable source of energy that makes it a more usable form of electricity. The wind power sector has been a big boom in some of the major countries that helped increase the employment gap and provided people with a secure job. Power plants are the leading contributors of harmful pollutants like nitrogen oxide, sulphur dioxide etc. while windmills only use the air present in the atmosphere to generate electricity while also not releasing any harmful chemicals in the atmosphere. The windmills are also easy to maintain and can be set up on empty fields or ranches. These factors make wind energy a more effective form of sustainable energy.
