Dear Sir/Madam,

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), New Delhi is going to organise a hands-on three-day training programme aimed at giving practical exposure to participants on Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) with specific reference to wind power projects.
The objective of this programme is to enable stakeholders to understand the likely impacts of the project and allows them to make sound decisions during various stages of project development.
As of 2014, India has exploited only 21% of its total wind power potential. Majorly, the country’s total wind power potential is concentrated in the southern and western states - Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Gujarat. A major proportion of these potential sites are located in ecologically sensitive and forest areas. To harness the maximum potential of wind energy with reduced impacts it thus becomes very important to undergo an EIA for wind power projects.
CSE’s two day training programme to be held in Ahmedabad on 3-5 September, 2014, aims to address the following points:
 
Open for: This training programme is open for participation for Industries, Regulatory Institutions (such as SPCB, state environment impact assessment authority, forest officers, IFS), NGOs, Consultants, Students and Academicians.
 
CSE will bear the course fee of the workshop which would include the lectures, study material and lunch for three days.
 
Note: We are not making reimbursement for local travel and lodging
