## STATEMENT AS REFERRED IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (c) OF LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO.493 ON 26/7/2019 REGARDING BRAIN DRAIN
(a) & (b): No significant brain drain which is to the extent of affecting the developments in Science and Technology (S&T) has been observed by the Union Government. Government has adopted three-pronged strategy to retain the best manpower in the country. First strategy has been the creation of substantial sophisticated research infrastructure and environment for scientific pursuits and academic / research institutions in the country. Secondly, opportunities have been created for overseas scientists of Indian origin to contribute to our country. Thirdly, new opportunities have been created for postdoctoral research in the country.
- (c) Several measures have been taken by the Government to create new opportunities for scientists as well as for facilitating brain gain. The extramural funding schemes of Department of Science and Technology (DST) and Department of Biotechnology (DBT) and Fellowship schemes of DST, DBT and Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) have been designed to encourage scientists to do quality research. Several schemes / programmes for building research infrastructure for enhancing research capabilities such as Fund for improvement of S&T infrastructures in universities and higher educational institutions (FIST) have been instituted. Other schemes like Core Research Grant, Research fellowships such as JC Bose and Swarnajayanti are targeted at scientific community to empower them to pursue world-class research in cutting edge areas of science and technology. Special attention has been given to young scientists for making them independent and motivate them to continue their research in the country. A large number of young scientists have been supported through schemes like Early Career Research Award, National Postdoctoral Fellowship of the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB). Significant new opportunities have been created by expansion of S&T led start-ups. Schemes like Atal Innovation Mission of Niti Aayog, National Initiative for Developing and Harnessing Innovations (NIDHI) of DST and schemes of DBT are providing unprecedented opportunities for our scientists and technologists. The substantial increase of allocation (RE) of the Ministry of Science & Technology in the S&T sector from Rs. 33,413.2crore in the 2009-14 period to Rs. 51,423.1 crore during 2014-19 clearly demonstrates the commitment of the Government to develop the overall S&T landscape and encourages our scientists to continue their work in the country.
The Flexible Complementing Scheme / Merit based promotion scheme positioned in scientific departments and the implementation of the VII Central Pay Commission pay scale and introduction of Performance Related Incentive Scheme (PRIS) in strategic Departments have also been instrumental in recruiting and retaining scientists. The amount of fellowship to research personnel (Junior / Senior Research Fellow, Research Associate) has been enhanced by 24-35% with effect from 1 st January 2019 by the Central Government.
DST through the Innovation in Science Pursuit for Inspired Research (INSPIRE) Faculty Scheme, SERB through the Ramanujan Fellowship Scheme and DBT through Ramalingaswami reentry Fellowship Scheme provide attractive avenues and opportunities to Indian researchers of high calibre, who are residing abroad, to work in Indian Institutes/Universities of their respective interest and domain. Wellcome Trust / DBT India Alliance Programme offers fellowship for any national for undertaking basic, clinical and public health research work in Indian Institutes/Universities etc. Visiting Advanced Joint Research (VAJRA) Faculty Scheme of SERB offers adjunct / visiting faculty positions to accomplished foreign scientists including scientists of Indian origin to undertake high quality research in Indian Institutions / Universities for specific period of time. All these measures taken by the Government are aimed at retaining and bringing Scientists and Technologists to India.

(a) & (b) Yes Sir. The Government is committed in taking proactive steps in combating sea erosion and protection of India's coastal areas and coastal communities. Some of the important actions are:
- Under the Integrated Coastal Zone Management Project (ICZMP) undertaken by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, the hazard line for the entire coast of the country has been delineated. The hazard line is indicative of the shoreline changes, including the sea level rise due to climate change and is a projection of impact due to sea level rise, and shoreline changes over a long period of time viz. over 100 years. This line is required to be used by the agencies concerned in the Coastal States as a tool for Disaster Management for the coastal environment, including planning of adaptive and mitigation measures. The hazard line is featured in the new Coastal Zone Management Plans of the coastal States / Union territories approved by the Ministry. The Coastal Zone Notification, 2019 issued by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change also prohibits ports and harbours in high eroding stretches of the coast. The coastal regulations however permit setting up of erosion control measures in the coast.
- In addition, under the ICZMP, shoreline management plans are being prepared for five coastal stretches viz. Gulf of Kachchh in Gujarat; Gopalpur to Chilka and Paradip to Dhamra coast in Odisha; and Digha to Sankarpur coast and Sagar Island in West Bengal.
- A national strategy for coastal protection along with guidelines for coastal protection measures have been framed for all Coastal States and Union Territories by the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change.
(c) There are in total 11 Groynes in the Gujarat coast, 45 in Kerala, 1 in Maharashtra, 16 in Andhra Pradesh, 89 in Tamil Nadu, and 45 in West Bengal.

## Statement referred to in reply to parts (a) to (e) of Lok Sabha Starred Question No.485 to be answered on Friday, the 26th July, 2019 on 'Pollution in Rivers' by Shri Prataprao Jadhav
(a) and (b) Water being a State subject and its management including conservation of rivers and revival of water bodies in the Country is primarily State's responsibility. Pollution abatement of rivers is a continuous and ongoing process. It is the responsibility of the State Governments/concerned local bodies to set up facilities for collection, transportation and treatment of sewage for abatement of pollution of rivers. This Ministry has been supplementing the efforts of the State Governments in abatement of pollution in rivers under the scheme of National River Conservation Plan (NRCP), on a cost sharing basis between the Central and State Governments. Project proposals are received from the State Governments from time to time for taking up pollution abatement works in towns along various rivers, and are considered for financial assistance under the NRCP subject to their conformity with the scheme guidelines, pollution status, prioritization, appraisal by independent institutions and availability of Plan funds. The subject has since been transferred to the Ministry of Jal Shakti.
Ministry of Jal Shakti has launched the Namami Gange Programme in July 2014 with total budgetary outlay of Rs. 20,000 crore for the period from 2014-15 till December 2020 to accomplish the twin objectives of effective abatement of pollution, conservation and rejuvenation of National River Ganga and its tributaries.
(c) to (e) NRCP (excluding Ganga and its tributaries) has so far covered polluted stretches of 34 rivers in 77 towns spread over 16 States in the country at a sanctioned cost of Rs. 5870.54 crore, and Central share of Rs. 2378.73 crore has been released to the State Governments for implementation of various pollution abatement schemes. Sewage treatment capacity of 2522.03 mld (million litres per day) has been created so far under the NRCP resulting in reduction in pollution load being discharged into the rivers. State-wise details of rivers covered, sanctioned cost, funds released and expenditure incurred by the state to various State Governments under NRCP so far are given at Annexure.
State Governments, apart from their own budgetary allocation, are also accessing financial assistance for creation of sewerage infrastructure, including sewage treatment plants (STPs), in various cities/towns under Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) and Smart Cities Mission of Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs as well as Namami Gange programme of Department of Water Resource, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation, Ministry of Jal Shakti.

(a) & b): Yes, Neyveli Lignite Corporation India Limited (NLCIL) and Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) University had jointly undertaken the R&D project 'Utilization of Bottom Ash for the replacement of river sand' during the year 2011-2014. Under R&D project, bottom ash samples of NLCIL power stations were studied for the suitability to use as an alternative to sand. The physical and chemical properties of bottom ash were tested. The bottom ash can be used in concrete / solid block and the effect of unburnt carbon in construction mix was also tested. The Bottom ash from Thermal Power station-I Expansion of NLCIL was found suitable as alternative material for sand as partial replacement (up to 50%). Based on the results, an experimental building was constructed at Neyveli and the performance was also evaluated. The study result proves that bottom ash is suitable for construction applications and it can be used as a partial replacement of fine aggregates and it is being utilized in the construction activities of NLCIL.
(c) It is observed that the mixture of cement, Fly ash, 50% Bottom ash gives strength which is equivalent to control mix (Cement, Fly ash, sand). The bottom ash concrete shows better performance in terms of strength, shrinkage and as well as the durability.
(d) The bottom ash properties vary from power station to power station due to coal / lignite mineral content and unburnt carbon content. Hence, specific study is required by the concerned power station to find its suitability in the field of construction.

The objectives of National Programme for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabete Cardiovascular Diseases and Stroke (NPCDCS) being implemented under National Health Mission (NHM) for interventio ns upto the district level include awareness generation for Cancer prevention, screening, early detection and referral to an app level institution for treatment. For Cancer, the focus is on three Cancers namely cervical and oral. Many of r isk factors of CKD are common to other NCDs. The interventions for CKD are included under the programme.
- II. A population level initiative for prevention, control and screening for common -Communicable Diseases (diabetes, hypertension and cancer viz. oral, breast and cervical cancer) has been rolled out in over 215 districts of the country under NHM, as a comprehensive primary healthcare. Screening for common NCDs is also an integral part of service delivery under Ayushman Bharat - Health and Wellnes s Centres. These interventions will also generate awareness as risk factor of NCDs including cance CKD.
- III. The Government of India is also implementing 'Strengthening of Tertiary Care Cancer facilities' Scheme under NPCDCS to assist to establish/set up State Cancer Institutes (SCI) and Tertiary Care Cancer Centres (TCCC) in different parts of the coun Oncology is one of the focus areas in case of new AIIMS and many upgraded institutions under Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojna (PMSSY). Setting up of National Cancer Institute at Jhajjar (Haryana) and 2nd campus of Chittranjan National Ca Institute, Ko lkata has also been approved. All these will enhance the capacity prevention and treatment of cancer in the country.
- IV. Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Programme, rolled out in 2016 under National Heal Mission, is under implementation for providing f ree dialysis services to Below Poverty Line (BPL) patients. PMNDP has been implemented in 33 States and UTs, under which facilities for dialysis have been provided in 455 Districts in 778 Centres.
(b)& (c) : Public health and hospitals being a State subje ct, the primary responsibility to provide ambulance services lies with the respective State Governments/UTs. However, under National Health Mission (NHM), technical and financial support is provided to States/U strengthen their healthcare systems including support for emergency medical transport of patients under Dial 108, Dial 102/104 ambulance services, and other patient transport ve based on the proposals made by the States/UTs in their Programme Implementation Plans (PI within their o verall resource envelope. | ## 5680.

Will the Minister of EARTH SCIENCES be pleased to state:
- (a) whether the Government is aware that some areas which are highly vulnerable to earthquakes of moderate intensity, if so, the details thereof;
- (b) whether the experts of Meteorological Department have been working to study it and its possible repercussions; and
- (c) if so, the findings of the experts in this regard?
## ANSWER MINISTER FOR MINISTRY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AND
MINISTRY OF EARTH SCIENCES (DR. HARSH VARDHAN)
- (a) Yes Sir. Based on various scientific inputs from a number of agencies such as past seismicity, maximum intensities experienced in the past, geology and seismo-tectonics of the region, Bureau of Indian Standards [IS-1893 (Part-1): 2002], has grouped the country into four seismic zones viz. Zone-II, -III, -IV and -V. In this classification, Zone V is the most seismically active region while zone II is the least. The Modified Mercalli (MM) intensity, which measures the impact of the earthquakes on the surface of the earth, broadly associated with various zones, is given as follows:
| Seismic Zone | Intensity on MM scale |
|--------------------------------|-------------------------|
| II (Low intensity zone) | VI (or less) |
| III (Moderate intensity zone) | VII |
| IV (Severe intensity zone) | VIII |
| V (Very severe intensity zone) | IX (and above) |
Seismic zonation details for different states of India are written below:
Zone V: Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Rann of Kutch in Gujarat, part of North Bihar and Andaman & Nicobar islands.
Zone IV: remaining parts of Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, Union Territory of Delhi, Sikkim, northern part of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal, parts of Gujarat and small portions of Maharashtra near the west coast and Rajasthan
Zone III: Kerala, Goa, Lakshadweep islands, remaining parts of Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and West Bengal, parts of Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhatisgarh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamilnadu and Karnataka
Zone II: Parts of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, Parts of Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka and Kerala
- (b) and (c) National Centre for Seismology (NCS), under the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), maintains a national seismological network to monitor the earthquake activity in and around the country and the information is disseminated about the earthquake parameters to all the user agencies and the disaster management authorities within 5 minutes of the earthquake occurrence.
Recently, NCS has completed Seismic hazard Microzonation of Delhi and Kolkata cities and released the reports for the same. Copies of these reports have also been provided to stake holders of concern State and Central Government authorities to help in urban planning. Seismic Microzonation of few other areas like Sikkim, Guwahati, and Bengaluru etc. has also been completed in project mode. Such studies are useful in land use planning and formulation of site specific design and construction criteria for the buildings and structures towards minimizing the damage to property and loss of life caused by the earthquakes.

The development of adequate wastewater treatment facilities is not commensurate with the increasing wastewater generation in urban centres in the country.The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) is monitoring the water quality of both surface and ground water under the National Water Monitoring Programme (NWMP) through a network of4022 locations which includes Creeks/ Sea Water/Marine water quality at 73 locations. The water quality is assessed for various parameters, including physicochemical, bacteriological, heavy metals, pesticides, etc.
Further, Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has made assessment of sewage generation from Class - I and Class - II towns across the country along with its treatment capacity during March 2015. According to CPCB's assessment, total sewage generation is 61,948 Million Litres per day (MLD) whereas the available sewage treatment capacity is 23,277 MLD which is only 37 per cent of the sewage generation.
The Government has taken various initiatives towards control of pollution of marine water, inter alia, include monitoring of marine pollution through COMAPS Programme by Integrated Coastal and Marine Area Management Project directorate (ICMAM), Chennai, establishment of the Coastal Aquaculture Authority (CAA) under the Coastal Aquaculture
Authority Act, 2005 to regulate coastal aquaculture activities in coastal areas, Notification of Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) in 2011 to prohibit the discharge of untreated waste water and effluents into the coast/ sea.,
In addition to these the Government has also taken several measures to check the pollution of water bodies including marine water, inter alia, include formulation and notification of standards for effluents from industries, operations or processes; enforcing of these standards by State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs)/Pollution Control Committees (PCCs) through consent mechanism and regular monitoring;; installation of Online Continuous Effluent Monitoring systems (OCEMS) to check the discharge of effluent directly into water bodies; promotion of cleaner production processes; installation of Common Effluent Treatment Plants for cluster of Small Scale Industrial units; issuance of directions under Section 5 of Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 and under Section 18(1)(b) of Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, etc.
