26. Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) There are two types of EIA models- the statutory model which makes the assessment of impact compulsory under an enacted law, or a delegated legislation, and the administrative model under which an administration exercises its discretion to find out whether an impact study is necessary. Till 1992, India was following the administrative model of EIA. On 27th January, 1994 a notification was issued dealing with mandatory EIA. The notification requires project proponent to submit an EIA report, and environment management plan, details of the public hearing and a project report to the impact assessment agency for clearance, further review by a committee of experts in certain cases. By the amendment in the year 1997, public hearing was made compulsory before impact assessment was finalized.

54. “… after the implementation of Jyotigram Yojna the electricity expense has notably increased for 95% of the households. Expenses on education, healthcare and consumer durables have gone up by 50%, 35% and 22% respectively”. Jyotigram: Power and Irrigation Reform

55. “ Rationing of farm power supply post-Jyotigram brought about a certain order and discipline in the extraction of groundwater, but the improved quality and reliability of farm power supply also made it possible for farmers to make ambitious plans to grow Bt cotton and wheat on a large scale.” Agricultural Growth Rates: 9.6 %- the highest in India Jyotigram: Power and Irrigation Reform

60. Compressed Natural Gas What exactly is CNG? CNG or compressed natural gas is a domestically available, economical, clean burning, alternative fuel source for vehicles. CNG is Compressed Natural Gas which has been used as an alternative clean burning fuel since the 1990s It is essentially the same natural gas that is delivered to most homes to use for cooking, heating water, and forced air heat

61. 1.Economic benefit: The cost of CNG is almost a third of the cost of Petrol in terms of calorific value resulting in substantial saving in fuel cost, and investment on the CNG kit is paid back in a short period 2. Environment friendly: The use of CNG as a fuel reduces vehicular exhaust emissions significantly. Carbon Monoxide emissions are reduced by 70 to 90% and Hydrocarbon emissions by 40 to 60% as compared to vehicles that use the conventional fuel - Petrol. Carbon Dioxide emissions, a cause for global warming, are also reduced significantly by 10% 3. 100% Income Tax Depreciation: Corporate Organisations, firms, etc. can claim 100% depreciation on a CNG Conversion Kit as this is a pollution controlling equipment. Organisations that buy CNG Conversion Kits should consult their Income Tax Consultants and avail of the depreciation benefits 4 . Flexibility and ease of use: The basic engine characteristics of a vehicle are retained while converting it to run on CNG. The vehicle therefore is capable of running either on Petrol or CNG at the flick of a switch on its dashboard. Reasons for switching over to this alternate fuel

62. In addition, owning a Clean Burning Fuel Vehicle has many other upsides & advantages including: increased longevity on the car (oil changes every 5,000 to 9,000 miles) Engine components remain a lot cleaner with a clean burning fuel less wear on critical engine components, bringin the cost of maintenance down drastically. Better fuel efficiency in comparison to standard gasoline vehicles; and much more. Why CNG Now? You can save money and reduce greenhouse grass in one move ..
