It is a matter of pride and honor for me that you are organizing an International Congress of Environmental Research, ICER-11. Probably, this would be the biggest international mega academic event on Environment in the history of Gujarat (India). As reported, about 2000 delegates from 42 countries are likely to attend the conference. Industrialists, Environmentalists, Scientists, Research Scholars, Professors, NGOs and Activists from Technology, Life Science, Physical Science, Social Science, Law and Management concerned with the environment will attend, present their research papers, discuss and finally get their research articles published in the Souvenir of the Congress. This conference will convey a message to the global society for saving the environment, nature and thereby the future of our next generations. This will facilitate a discourse on important issues, through case study presentations and panel discussions. This, in fact, will lead to generating new recommendations, tools and resources as well as identifying potential sectors dealing with the challenges of the environmental issues and research ethics. I wish the conference great success. Dr. K.U. Mistry Chairman G.P.C.B.

From the Desk of Director

Dear Participants, It is my pride privilege to be a part of this magnificent International event for the welfare of whole humanity. At this auspicious occasion, I would like to greet you all. I believe that fourth International Congress of Environmental Research (ICER-11) will prove itself a precursor of joint venture of scholars from different discipline of environment throughout the world. Eventually 1825 research abstracts/research papers have been accepted for their presentations out of 2236 papers received so far. The main objectives of this Congress is to awaken the present generation to save environment and hence huge participation of Vice chancellors of universities, Directors of institutes, Scientists, Academicians, Environmentalists, Industrialists, NGOs and other scholars indicate that our efforts are going to be true in the form of this congress. In addition, this will play a significant role in joining the young generation with us to solve the most crucial problem of the day. It is worth notable that young scholars from all over the world, even from very small and interior places have got the opportunity to show their concern for environmental protection and conservation in the light of their own subjects. I am hopeful that this congress will be significant not only in sharing, analyzing and finding out solutions of many environmental problems but also in bringing a drastic change in the attitude of the people. I wish a great success to this new beginning. Professor Subhash C. Pandey Director

Message from Organizing Secretary

Who does not know about Global Warming, Climate Change and its impact on the environment ? Now-adays, these terms are heard quite often all over the world and everybody has realized that one must do something or the other to save the Mother Earth. And as educationists, it is our first and foremost responsibility to create a platform where everybody can come together and reflect on the Environmental issues as well as the concerns. Considering this, an International Conference ICER11 on Environmental Research, Planning and Management is organised by Journal of Environmental Research And Development (JERAD), Bhopal in collaboration with Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology (SVNIT), Surat with a view to creating the scope for interaction among the scholars, experts as well as researchers from all the disciplines. This will not only make everybody feel concerned about the environment for sustainable development but also help them contribute in the movement called Environmentalism that focusses on the preservation and improvement of environment. Moreover, the Conference is organised at Surat - the Diamond and the Textile City, for generating awareness among the people of Surat as well as Gujarat about the changing scenario of global environment and the need for making the Earth a better place to live in. It is rightly said by Jared Diamond in 'Collapse', Many civilizations come to an end because they do not treat their environment responsibly. I am sure that nobody would like to live in such a civilization that cannot survive. And hence, this venture is an humble attempt to make everybody strive for caring as well as saving the environment at the local and the global levels. As part of this, the local acute environmental problems will be realized and the probable solutions will be thought about. Even, the new plan of action and the policies for sustainable development will be adopted by the policy makers, the technocrats and the stake-holders. In fact, this kind of conference or programme is organised every year by JERAD, Bhopal in the different parts of the world with a view to creating awareness and leading the campaign for protection of environment. In addition to this, there is a plan of starting the Gujarat Chapter by JERAD for contributing more towards the preservation of the Mother Earth. Many minor or major research projects can be conducted by various agencies like Surat Municipal Corporation, different NGOs, different Educational or Civil departments under this Chapter. The initiatives can be taken by the Surat Municipal Corporation for Water Harvest or Recharge Programme in the City and for providing funds for various research projects. This, indeed, will make a difference and be the milestone in the days to come. As an organizing secretary, I request everyone to take a pause and ponder about the sensitive issues and be ready with their own plan of action that can lead to the higher quality life. Let's not make the Earth such a place that is less of a reality and more of a past memory. Let's take a pledge of transmitting this planet as the Legacy with all its beauty and magnificence to the future generation. Let's participate to the fullest and make this Conference a grand success. Best Wishes, Dr. Ketan Desai Organizing Secretary
