“…In 2006, the Government of India released its first Integrated Energy Policy (IEP) (GoI, 2006). The broad vision behind the IEP is to meet reliably the demand for energy services with safe and convenient energy at the least cost in a technically efficient, economically viable and environmentally sustainable manner.…”

“…It results in an installed nuclear capacity in India of 216 GW in 2050, more than 10% of the global nuclear capacity of 2 000 GW in this scenario. The Indian nuclear capacity figure for 2050 lies between the optimistic (275 GW) and the pessimistic (208 GW) scenarios in the IEP report of the Indian government (GoI, 2006). It is also assumed that the feasible hydro potential of almost 150 GW in India can be exploited to a large degree by 2050.…”

The International Energy Agency (IEA), an autonomous agency, was established in November 1974. Its primary mandate was -and is -two-fold: to promote energy security amongst its member countries through collective response to physical disruptions in oil supply, and provide authoritative research and analysis on ways to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for its 28 member countries and beyond. The IEA carries out a comprehensive programme of energy co-operation among its member countries, each of which is obliged to hold oil stocks equivalent to 90 days of its net imports. The Agency's aims include the following objectives: n Secure member countries' access to reliable and ample supplies of all forms of energy; in particular, through maintaining effective emergency response capabilities in case of oil supply disruptions. n Promote sustainable energy policies that spur economic growth and environmental protection in a global context -particularly in terms of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions that contribute to climate change. n Improve transparency of international markets through collection and analysis of energy data.n Support global collaboration on energy technology to secure future energy supplies and mitigate their environmental impact, including through improved energy efficiency and development and deployment of low-carbon technologies. n Find solutions to global energy challenges through engagement and dialogue with non-member countries, industry, international organisations and other stakeholders. IEA member countries: Executive summaryThe world is facing serious challenges in energy. The global economy is set to grow fourfold in the next 40 years, which promises economic benefits and huge improvements in people's standard of living. But it also implies a much greater use of energy. A global revolution is needed in the ways that energy is produced, supplied and used. A core requirement is far greater energy efficiency, which will necessitate unprecedented levels of co-operation among all major economies.Recognising the diverse challenges faced by different countries, the International Energy Agency (IEA) analysed the energy trends in four countries/regions -India, China, Europe and the United States. These analyses are included in the publication Energy Technology Perspectives 2010 (ETP 2010) (IEA, 2010a), which examines potential technology pathways to achieving a 50% reduction in worldwide energy-related carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions by 2050 compared to 2005 levels. This working paper served as an input to the Indian regional chapter in ETP 2010, but also extends the analysis. It investigates the mix of technologies needed to achieve deep CO 2 emission cuts in the Indian power sector while keeping pace with the strong growth in energy requirements that will result from a rapidly growing economy.Social and economic development in India both depend on access to modern forms of energy. Around 404 million people in India do not have access to electricity. Providing electricity to these peop...

The main purpose of the study is twofold: to get some lessons by examining current strategies, reforms and quality framework relating to quality higher education employed by Singapore and Malaysia and to put forward some policy recommendations to higher educational institutions, governments, policymakers and all other stakeholders of Bangladesh for enhancing the quality in higher education. This study has been conducted mostly based on secondary data by reviewing official publications, both national and international, on quality aspects of higher education of these countries. Published and unpublished research papers, working papers, seminar and conference proceedings, online resources have also been used. In one end, the review findings of this paper show that though the higher education sector of Bangladesh, both public and private, is regulated by the Ministry of Education, there is no legal body in Bangladesh except University Grant Commission to ensure the quality of higher education. In addition to this, this study has also found that there is no accreditation agencies, no accountability system and no academic auditing system in Bangladesh to ensure the quality of higher education though these three key important factors has already been ensured both in Singaporean and Malaysian system of higher of education. It is also observed that a bundle of supportive strategies have been active behind the development of quality higher education of the two countries-Singapore and Malaysia. Finally, the researchers have put some way forward for Bangladesh to be followed to develop the nascent condition of quality in higher education institutions.

“…For every season with yield loss, we multiplied the percentage of loss by the proxy for the market price of wheat, set at the Bihar government minimum support prices for 2012/13, which was 0.81 PPP$/kg. 56 Method to calculate CO 2 fertilisation Long-term experiments have revealed that an increase in atmospheric CO 2 has a positive impact on yield for some crops. [57][58][59][60] We assume 0.028 per cent increase in wheat yields with a 1 ppm increase of CO 2 in the atmosphere.…”

We model the impact of agricultural droughts with a new multi-parameter index (using both climatic and non-climatic parameters) and propose a new risk transfer solution for crop insurance, called Climate Cost of Cultivation (CCC). We used 1979/80 to 2012/13 data relevant for wheat in Bihar, India to test the variation in the CCC values. The variance (risk to farmer) increased significantly in the second half of the period (two-tailed F-test, p=0.00045). We examine the efficiency of CCC by comparing it to typical index insurance (TII), and both indices to wheat yield data (2000/01 to 2012/13). The correlation of CCC index payouts with actual yield losses is improved by a factor of~3.9 over TII results (76.0 per cent, compared with 19.6 per cent). The pure risk premium of the CCC index is lower by around 90 per cent than the premium of the TII. We also elaborate a method to quantify the premium's climate change cost component.
