Bihar set to join carbon credit club
The window of carbon trading has opened a new means of earning for those cutting down on their carbon footprints. Those contributing more to the emission of green house gases, purchase carbon credits earned by those who cut down on this front. This helps in achieving the end result of bringing down the global emission level to the desirable level.
Bihar too is on way to join the club of carbon credit traders. And the help has come from German agency GTZ, which would help Bihar in adopting ways for earning carbon credits and its subsequent trading.
GTZ, having worldwide operations, works for sustainable development. Its corporate objective is to improve peoples' living. Founded in 1975, the agency has operations in more than 130 countries.
The agency will help Bihar in introducing certain things in the design of the upcoming buildings of an International Museum at Patna and International Convention Centre at Rajgir so that these building could meet the criteria of becoming green buildings.
New buildings apart, the German agency would also help the state government in suggesting certain changes in the existing buildings of Patna Museum and city's Moinul Haq Stadium for reducing the energy consumption thus qualifying for being declared as green buildings.
The agency, for this purpose, would send its international experts to the state. "We have requested GTZ for providing the services of the international experts as soon as possible and the agency has agreed to it," art and culture department secretary Vivek Singh told.link

Maoists blow up railway track in Bihar
Maoist guerrillas blew up a railway track in Bihar early on Monday and enforced a one-day strike in their strongholds to protest the arrest of senior leader Subodhji alias Anand, police said.
The Maoists blew up the track near Nadaul railway station in Jehanabad district, about 50 km from here. Nadaul is situated on Patna-Gaya rail route of East-Central Railway.
"Maoists first forced railway officials on duty in the cabin on the outer signal of Nadaul railway station to leave the place. They then blew up the railway track," Patna Railway Superintendent of Police Jitendra Rana said.
A railway official in Jehanabad said the incident disrupted rail traffic on the route and repair work was underway.
The strike call by Maoists evoked a mixed response in Bihar as urban areas remained unaffected but normal life was hit in villages.
An official in the home department said the Maoists' strike call evoked no response in Patna, Gaya, Muzaffarpur, Bhagalpur and Purnea. But it affected life in Aurangabad, Jehanabad, Arwal and Gaya districts that are considered Maoist strongholds.
The rebels had also torched a truck in Amas police station in Gaya district late on Sunday and blew up a mobile phone tower in Sherpur in Gaya district.
Subodhji alias Anand, Bihar-Jharkhand special area committee member of the outlawed Communist Party of India-Maoist, was arrested by the special task force and the district police Friday.
Additional Director General (headquarters) U.S. Dutt said an alert has been sounded across the state in the wake of the Maoists' strike call. link

Poor in Patna warm themselves with bonfires as cold makes life unbearable
With mercury dipping below the normal level at different place of north India, people are having a tough time to move out and attend to duties in daily life.
There was less hustle and bustle on streets, as people preferred staying indoors on Saturday.
A number of poor people could be noticed sitting around bonfires in groups to save themselves from a harsh winter this time.
The streets and lanes wore a deserted look but people thronged the tea stalls.
Local people said that the sharp dip in temperature is affecting their work.
"The weather is extremely cold for the last two days, we are passing the day sitting in front of fire...we are we are not even going for work because of low temperature," said Vinod, a local resdient.
The weather is very cold for the last two days...we are warming themselves by sipping extra cups of tea...the temperature dipped further during last two days...we are shivering in cold," said Ravi, another local resident.
Harsh weather claimed maximum lives in north India. More than 300 people have died as the cold wave intensified its grip over northern state of Uttar Pradesh.link

Theme parks to showcase Bihar heritage
You've had amusements parks, zoological parks and botanical parks, but what about theme parks depicting heritage? The concept should not sound too bizarre given the state's rich tradition of art and culture. And in an age of increasing globalisation, sometimes it pays to be in touch with one's roots, especially for Gen-Y.
So get ready to have a day out in the sun in theme parks across the state showcasing art works, including three-dimensional wonders. The state's art and culture department has shortlisted Patna, Darbhanga, Gaya, Bettiah and Chapra for the special makeover. Themes have also been decided for each park.
The one to come up at Patna on the premises of Golghar, would depict the city's history from Mauryan times to the modern era. The one at Darbhanga would depict the culture and history of Mithilanchal.
Gaya's theme park, to come up near the Mahabodhi temple, would be replete with Buddhist philosophy, while the one at Chapra would showcase rural culture of the region. Bettiah's heritage park would depict the history of Champaran, including the events leading to Mahatma Gandhi's struggle against the Britishers for the local farmers.
The art and culture department has roped in students of the College of Arts and Crafts, Patna, for creating the art pieces for the Darbhanga park. The art works area ready for installation.
With many more such parks on the cards, the department has decided to function in a more organised way and has invited applications from qualified persons and institutions for executing the projects.
The selected candidates and institutions would be entrusted with the task of setting up the parks on a turn-key basis. The department would provide land and funds. "We intend to spend around Rs 1 crore on these parks and our target is to have them in place by the next fiscal (2010-11)," said art and culture department secretary, Vivek Singh, on Thursday.
He said, the parks, apart from being a medium of knowledge for Gen-Y, would also work as added attractions for tourists. "We intend to publish brochures about the parks," Singh added.link
