Knowledge Networking for Sustainable Development in India

Dear Colleague

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)and the International
Development Research Centre (IDRC) of Canada in collaboration with Ministry
of Environment and Forests (India) has launched the portal site of
Sustainable Development Networking Programme, India (SDNP-India) at
http://sdnp.delhi.nic.in mirrored at http://members.tripod.com/sdnp_india.  

The website provides access to a host of online databases, environmental
legislation, case studies, publications, news clippings and electronic
discussion groups on gamut of issues from Agriculture to Climate Change to
Population, Health and Human Rights. A database of international
organisations working on sustainable development issues is being maintained
on the website and has been indexed subject area wise. We have also started
to host information on Environment and Sutainable Development in local
Indian languages too, so as to enhance the reach of the programme. 

The website also provides a platform to initiate debates and discussions,
highlight developmental issues and initiate environmental actions at all
levels through a host of services such as Building Bridges, Development Job
Opportunities, Query Desk, Dev-Online, Event Reporting service, Web-Site
Hosting and Training on Information and Communication Technologies. 

More information about these services is available at the SDNP website or
