Certificate Course on “Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Green GDP”

PROGRESS REPORT


Under Green Skill Development Program (GSDP)

Organized by ENVIS RP, EPTRI

Sponsored by EI‐Division, MoEF&CC, Government of India

Duration 14th to 29th February, 2019‐2020

Venue EPTRI, Hyderabad

The Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MoEF&CC), Government of India, for the first

time, has taken up an initiative for the Skill Development in the Environment and Forest sector to enable

unemployed youth to get gainful employment. This programme endeavours to impart Green Skilled

working skill to candidates having minimum technical Knowledge and aptitude in the respective field

which contributes to the Sustainable Development.

There is a shortage of skilled persons in the nation for Accounting of Ecosystem Services and Green GDP.

Recognizing the need, the EI Division, MoEFCC has initiated a Certificate Course on “Valuation of

Ecosystem Services and Green GDP” under Green Skill Development Programme to ENVIS RP, EPTRI. The

target group for this course is graduates in Life Sciences. Therefore, this certificate course would serve as

a source of employment in Forest Departments, Research, Accounting for Natural Resources, etc as there

is a huge demand of skilled graduates to value the ecosystem in terms of monetary.

A total of 16 participants (List enclosed as Annexure I with attendance sheet) have undergone training

under Green Skill Development Programme (GSDP) on “Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Green

GDP”. Among them 8 each were female and male candidates. The participants belonged to different

castes such as 2‐Gen, 9‐BC, 2‐SC and ST‐3. The students were imparted theory and practical knowledge

by conducting field studies. There were taken to field inside the EPTRI premises for carbon

sequestration, quadrate sampling, Microbiology lab setup etc.

Introduction

The students were selected through selection committee in the Walk‐in‐interview as per the GSDP

guidelines. The selection committee comprised of Dr. V. Srinivas Rao, Center for Natural Resource

Management, National Institute of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj, Rajendarnagar, Hyderabad,

Dr. M. Suneela, ENVIS Coordinator, EPTRI and Dr. K. Jyothi, EB Expert.

The selected candidates and waiting list candidates were intimated through mail and phone calls. The

course started as per the programme schedule.

The students selected were given ID card, Bag, Long Note Book, Study material and Stationary. The

programme schedule along with Resource person of this training course is placed at Annexure -II.


The training course is divided into three parts

1. Theory sessions.

2. Field visits

3. Practical Laboratory
