Sustainability of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) are contingent on both ‘weak sustainability’ and ‘strong sustainability.’ Rights-based approach, the most prevalent one in the international policy space towards sustained realization of development goals, is unlikely to ensure either of the sustainability notions. Rather it has to be the (mora...
In the literature on sustainability of agriculture, both labourers and workers are conspicuously absent. Here, the sustainability of agriculture has been defined in terms of whether the farm household in question is able to yield an energy surplus when its members and the animals in its possession are obtaining an adequate ‘energy income’ or Calori...

This thesis defines the sustainability of agriculture in terms of whether the farm household is able to yield an energy surplus, when its members and the animals in its possession are obtaining an adequate Calorie intake. Appropriate Calorie norms have been assumed, their fulfilment being a nece...
Energy value (use-value) of irrigation under surplus rainfall conditions, as in all parts of state of West Bengal with an annual rainfall of 1000 mm or more, represents the value of the unsaved rainwater, an ecosystem function, to the farmer-cultivator, for meeting the water requirements of the planted crops, an ecosystem service. In such situation...
Projects
Project (1)
1. To create a framework for such integration--both general and specific to banking, insurance, equity and debt markets
2. To create templates for regulators to seek information, for supervised entities to provide information, data validation and verification requirements.
3. To identify processes and practices using which supervised entities can estimate the exposure, spread and intensity of risks, regulators or third parties can validate the estimate, and for consumers to use this information to take a better informed decision.
