Wastewater management and the east-bound growth of the city of Kolkata
Land-use Change and Vocational Transition in East Kolkata Wetlands
The city of Kolkata is location-wise gifted by the existence of a wide wetland in its eastern fringe, popularly known as the East Kolkata Wetlands (EKW), where nearly 80 per cent of city sewer gets naturally treated in the shallow water bodies under abundant supply of sunshine in a hot and humid tropical climate and it provides outlet to the city’s excess rainwater run-off. During this process, the wastewater gets converted into nutrient-rich fis…

Since the impact evaluation exercise typically suffers from the problem of counterfactual, in the absence of biologically identical observations proxy has been constructed in terms of pairing statistically identi…
Ecosystem and Livelihood Support
The wetlands in the eastern fringe of Kolkata, popularly known as the East Kolkata Wetlands (EKW), work as an absorber of sewage water and excess rainwater runoff from the city. The local people are utilizing this waste water in pisciculture through adoption of a number of traditionally inherited practices. Moreover, pond effluent based paddy cultivation and garbage based vegetable farming are integrated with fishery in the ways that make the pro…
Women Empowerment as Multidimensional Capability Enhancement
This paper tries to offer a comprehensive measure for empowerment where empowerment is viewed as capability enhancement. A critique of the idea of considering autonomy as the sole indicator of empowerment has been presented, and an attempt has been made to supplement autonomy with other dimensions like health and knowledge in shaping empowerment. This paper tries to offer a quantitative measure for empowerment constituted of capability scores on …
Municipal solid waste management, source-separated waste and stakeholder’s attitude
Untapped demand for heritage
