National Monuments Authority (NMA)

The National Monuments Authority is a quasi judicial body which is empowered to make recommendations to the Central Government for grading and classifying centrally protected monuments and protected areas declared as of national importance. The NMA makes recommendations for grant of permission for repair, renovation and construction within the prohibited area (100 meters) and the regulated area (100 to 300 meters) of the notified limit of the ASI protected monuments. The Authority (NMA) works through 32 Competent Authorities in all the States and Union territories. The Authority also oversees the working of these notified Competent Authorities. The most important function of the Authority is to oversee the preparation of monuments specific heritage bye-laws in respect of 3686 ASI protected monuments. 

Keeping in view the vision of Hon'ble Prime Minister of India regarding "e-governance" and "ease of doing business" the National Monuments Authority had undertaken the project of developing its online web portal called "NOC Online Application Portal and Processing System (NOAPS)". The Portal has been designed by NIC and incorporates state of the art technology. The Portal has utilized the technology and expertise of Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), who are in the process of mapping all 3886 ASI protected monuments. They are also developing a user friendly mobile app., which can be downloaded free of cost by an applicant and can be used to upload the geo coordinates of his plot with the prohibited/regulated area of the monument. The whole online system will automatically inform the applicant about the permissible height and other restrictions regarding the proposed construction activity. 

The tangible or built heritage in the form of monuments and archaeological remains is a legacy handed over to us by our ancestors. The National Monuments Authority has a duty to preserve and protect this valuable heritage so that it could be passed on to the future generations. With rapid urbanization, the monuments are facing tremendous pressure of increased construction activity. The NMA is mandated to regulate such construction activity within the vicinity of the monuments, which at the same time should also not unduly inconvenience the general public. The development and launch of this online web portal is a step in that direction. 

Fact sheet On Street light national programme (SLNP)

SLNP scheme- Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi launched 100 cities National Programme on 5th January to convert conventional street and domestic lights with energy efficient LED lights. Under Street Light National Programme (SLNP), replacement of 3.5 crore conventional street light will result in saving of 9,000 million units annually. Total cost savings of municipalities every year will be Rs 5,500 crore.  Keeping future generations in mind, the revolutionary step is taken to conserve as much energy as possible. Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) has been designated as the implementing agency. The initiative is part of the Government’s efforts to spread the message of energy efficiency in the country.
Objective of SLNP Programme
The Electricity Distribution Company and Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) a public sector body of Government of India are implementing the programme. The main objective is to promote efficient lighting, enhance awareness on using efficient equipment which reduce electricity bills and help preserve environment.

http://pibphoto.nic.in/documents/rlink/2015/sep/i201592401.jpgEESL Service Model

EESL replaces the conventional street lights with LEDs at its own costs and consequent reduction in energy and maintenance cost of the municipality is used to repay EESL over a period of time. The contracts that EESL enters into with Municipalities are typically of 7 years duration where it not only guarantees a minimum energy saving but also provides free replacements and maintenance of lights at no additional costs to the municipalities. The service model enables the municipalities to go in for the state of the art street light with no upfront capital cost and repayments to EESL are within the present level of expenditure. Thus there is no additional revenue expenditure required to be incurred by the municipality for change over to smart and energy efficient LED street lights.

Status of SLNP Programme

http://pibphoto.nic.in/documents/rlink/2015/sep/i201592402.jpgThe installation of LED bulbs is completed in 6 ULBs namely Vizag, Jhalawar, Mt. Abu, Pushkar, Neelimarna and Agartala. 2,07,000 street lights have been replaced in these places. Installation is in progress in 88 ULBs in Delhi, Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh to replace 9.3 lakh lights. 302 Urban local bodies (ULBs) have enrolled in the Street Light National Programme till 7th September 2015. The target is to installs 15 lakh LEDs by March 2016. SLNP has finalized agreements with 90 municipalities.

Safety of LEDs - They are completely safe and do not represent any hazard to the human eye. When compared to CFLs, LEDs do not have mercury and therefore, have no negative impact on environment. The LEDs procured under the DELP scheme are run through series of stringent quality tests

Lumen intensity of LED vs incandescent bulb - LEDs have no gases, filaments or any moving parts to fatigue. A 7W LED procured under DELP gives the same and in most cases better lumen intensity and brightness than a 60W Incandescent Lamp. The lumen output of a 60 Watt incandescent bulb is 450 lumens. Whereas, the lumen output of a 7 watt LED bulb, offered as part of the DELP scheme, is 600 lumens. The proportion of lumens that falls in an area from an LED light source is greater than that of a conventional light source.

Vanbandhu Kalyan Yojana

Centre has launched Vanbandhu Kalyan Yojana (VKY) for the welfare of Tribals. The scheme been launched on pilot basis in one block each of the States of AP, MP, HP, Telangana, Orissa, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Gujarat. Under this scheme centre has provided Rs. 10 crore for each block for development of various facilities for the Tribals. These blocks have been selected on the recommendations of the concerned States and have very low literacy rate. The scheme mainly focuses on bridging infrastructural gaps and gaps in human development indices between Schedule tribes and other social groups. VKY also envisages to focus on convergence of different schemes of development of the centre and State Governments with an outcome oriented approach. Initially the blocks having at least 33 per cent tribal population in comparison to total population of the block are to be targeted.

PAHAL SCHEME

PAHAL stands for Pratyaksh Hanstantrit Labh which is a Direct Benefit Transfer for LPG (DBTL) scheme, launched by the Centre on 1st January, 2015 with the aim to benefit the LPG consumers. Under this scheme, LPG cylinders will be sold to Cash Transfer Compliant (CTC) consumers at the market determined price, while the cash subsidy will be directly transferred to the bank account of the beneficiary by the following methods:

1. Primary: Consumers having Aadhar number have to get it linked with bank account so as to get the subsidy directly in their bank accounts.

2. Secondary: Consumers lacking Aadhar number will get subsidy in their account after submitting their relevant bank account details to the LPG distributor (A/C No., Name of A/C holder, IFSC code etc).

Consumers who are receiving subsidy directly in their bank accounts are called Cash Transfer Compliant (CTC) Consumers. For the non-CTC Consumers, however, a grace period of three months (with an additional parking period of three months) is allowed to become CTC consumer. But during this period, the non- CTC consumers will be given LPG cylinders at the market determined prices.

A one- time advance is provided to every CTC Consumer joining PAHAL. The advance is notified by the Government from time to time and remains fixed during that financial year. The advance will remain with the consumers till the time of termination of their connection.
The modified scheme had been re launched initially in 54 districts of the country in the first phase and in other parts of the country on 1st January 2015.
