Potentially dangerous environmental changes are happening in the atmosphere, oceans, animal habitats and places where hazardous materials are used, or have been discarded without adequate environmental protections. These increasing problems that also affect human health demand for interdisciplinary approaches where engineers, natural scientists, economists and computer scientists work together. Information technology has become significant to all scientific groups and fields involved in environmental engineering: Model based systems which enable the study of environmental changes have been developed and are being extended to manage those environments. New paradigms for designing objects to enable easy disassembly and recovery of components contribute to reuse. Web-based information systems enhance public awareness to environmental changes and allow participation in decision making. Developments in exploiting alternative energy sources are reducing dependence on non-renewable resources. Numerical economy-environment models contribute to cost-benefit analysis of environmental policy, and environmental monitoring and accounting systems facilitate market-based environmental regulation. How can these developments be enhanced?
Further advance is going to be possible only if scientific teams have adequate experience, methods and tools for investigation of the changes in the environment. Success requires a high level of organization related to technical as well as scientific and human aspects of information handling. The ITEE 2007 conference will provide a forum for exchanging information among environmental engineers, computer scientists and economists.

SECOND CIRCULAR International Conference on
Sustainable Agriculture for Food,
Bio-energy and Livelihood Security February 14-16, 2007 
Organised by 
Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur (M.P.), India
In collaboration with 
Society for Sustainable Agriculture and Resource Management
Hisar (Haryana), India INVITATION Dear Colleagues, Food, nutrition, bio-energy, environment and livelihood are global concerns. Food security is determined by food availability, food access and is interlinked with livelihood. In order to feed the burgeoning populations of the world there is an urgent need to double cereal production by the year 2050. This increase will have to come from shrinking land, water and other natural resources. As per FAO reports about 800 million people are under nourished. To meet the UN Millennium Development Goal of reducing the number of hungry people to half by 2015, there is a need to bridge the huge gap between attainable yield and average yields harvested by the farmers especially in developing countries under fragile environments. Improved technologies can bridge these gaps. In that context, the research needs to be directed on sustainable agriculture including better soil, water management, crop production, crop protection, crop improvement through conventional plant breeding and use of molecular biology and biotechnology for removing the physiological constraints on present crop yield ceilings. Integrated farming system, agro-processing and renewable energy, are essential both to meet food production targets for increasing food and nutritional security, poverty alleviation and thus livelihood security on sustainable basis. Besides, the ruthless exploitation of natural resources coupled with increasing industrialization especially in developing world is leading to the energy crises. The green house gas emissions are further deteriorating the clean environment and contributing to global warming. Therefore, search for alternative and renewable bio-energy sources is a major global concern. Globalization of economies and liberalization of trade under WTO regime have economic, ecological, ethical, social and technological dimensions. For sustainable development and livelihood security, development of economic and social infrastructure along with congenial policy reforms is equally important. Also, participatory research and knowledge management with farming communities using information technology needs strengthening to enhance productivity and income per hectare on an environmentally sustainable basis. The main objective of this conference is to deliberate on issues relating to crop improvement for higher physiological efficiency, better management of natural resources and bio energy for minimizing environmental impacts , cost-return equilibrium and agro- enterprises for sustainable growth in agriculture and overall agrarian prosperity for food and livelihood security globally. State of Madhya Pradesh, in central India, has varied climatic conditions, vegetation bio-diversity and socio-economic-cultural strata. Thus it provides appropriate location for the International Conference. Also, the Society for Sustainable Agriculture and Resource Management (SSARM) is engaged globally in creating awareness about needs of and strategies for sustainable agriculture. Participation of scientists, policy makers, NGOs, farmers and entrepreneurs from India and abroad is solicited. Also, support from national and international research and development organizations is highly solicited. We cordially invite you and your colleagues for active participation in this International conference from February 14-16, 2007 at JNKVV, Campus Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India in the most congenial and pleasant environment. Looking forward to meet you and your colleagues to deliberate on agriculture related common problems confronting mankind world wide. J.S. Raghu V.S. Tomar Executive Secretary General Secretary Conference Mission: The technical programme of the conference will consists of plenary lectures, lead papers, contributory papers, poster presentation and discussion with NGO's and Stake folders.

Excursion to nearby Marble Rocks at Bhedaghat, National Parks, Khajuraho Temple. Cultural programme based on folk lore's, folk dances etc. About Jabalpur: Jabalpur is an educational hub of the state of Madhya Pradesh is situated on the bank of the holy river Narmada which was the capital of Gond king during 12th century and was later seat of the Kalchuri dynasty. Well connected by road, rail and air, it is situated on national highway No. 7 (280 Km from Nagpur) and 12 (294 Km from Bhopal) respectively. By rail it is on the Mumbai (Varanasi-Patna-Howrah-Guwahati) route between Itarsi and Allahabd junctions. Direct trains to New Delhi, Pune, Nagpur, Kota, Lucknow, Chhattishgarh, Gujrat and southern states are also available. By air it is connected with a daily flight from New Delhi via Bhopal (Air Deccan) arrival (8.50) and departure (9.10 hours), departing New Delhi (5.55) and arriving (12.05) hours. The maximum and minimum temperatures during the month of February vary in the range of 27°C to 30°C and 10°C to 13°C respectively. Marble Rocks at Bhedaghat: Soaring in glittering splendour, the Mrble Rocks at Bhedaghat rise to a hundred feet on either side of the Narmada. The serene loveliness of the scene is one of cool quiet, the sunlight sparkling on the marble-white pinnacles and casting dappled shadows on the pellucid waters. These white rocks with views of black and dark green volcanic seams are truly majestic, and produce a magical effect on moonlit nights. The holy river flows by tranquilly flanked by the towering cliffs which reflect in it like a mirror the changing moods of nature. A little distance away, it becomes turbulent as it plunges in a mighty water fall known as Dhuandhar. Eternal Expressions of Love: The architectural style of the Khajuraho temples is very different from the temple prototype of that period. Each stands, instead of within the customary enclosure, on a high masonry platform. Combined with the upward direction of the structure, which is further accentuated by vertical projections, the total effect is one of grace and lightness, reminiscent of the Himalayan peaks. Verdant Jewel of the Hills: Pachmarhi is Madhya Pradesh's most verdant jewel, a place where nature has found exquisite expression in myriad enchanting ways. Green shades embrace the mountains, and everywhere is heard the gentle murmur of flowing water. Bridle paths lead into tranquil forest glades, groves of wild bamboo and jamun, dense sal forests and delicate bamboo thickets. Complementing the magnificence of nature are the works of man; Pachmarhi is also an archaeological treasure-house. In cave shelters in the Mahadeo Hills is an astonishing richness in rock paintings. Masterpieces of Buddhist Art: Sanchi is known for its Stupas, monasteries, temples and pillars dating from the 3rd century B.C. to the 12th century A.D. The most famous of these monuments, the Sanchi Stupa 1, was originally built by the Mauryan Emperor Ashoka, the then governor of Ujjayini. A Chunar sandstone pillar fragment, shining with the proverbial Mauryan polish, lies near Stupa I and carries the famous edict of Ashoka warning against schism in the Buddhist community. National Park with a Rich Historical Past: This is a small National Park; compact, yet full of game. The density of the Tiger population at Bandhavgarh is the highest known in India. This is also White Tiger country. Organising Committee: Chief Patron: Dr. Mangala Rai, Secretary, DARE & DG, ICAR, New Delhi Patrons: Dr. D.P.

| The mission of UNEP is "provide leadership and encourage partnership in caring for the environment by inspiring, informing and enabling nations and peoples to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations." For cities to be sustainable they must integrate environmental stewardship, economic development and the well being of all people – not just for today but for countless generation to come. According to International Institute for sustainable Development (ISSD) this is the challenge facing governments, non governmental organizations, private enterprises, communities and individuals. By the year 2015, all 191 UN member states pledge to meet the following Millennium Development Goals: eradicate extreme poverty and hunger; achieve universal primary education; promote gender equality and empower women; reduce child mortality; improve maternal health; combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other diseases; ensure environmental sustainability; and develop a global partnership for development. The environmental quality enhancement can take place only with proper urban planning and it is necessary for all professionals to come together and participate actively in the challenges of urban planning. The theme of the conference is to understand issues related urban planning, health and environment. The conference aims to tackle some of the major issues related to environment and urban planning, Coastal regulations and strike a balance between environmental degradation and metropolitan growth. The deliberation of the Conference will be subdivided into sub-themes |
