Environmental Economics Research Committee (EERC) Chaired by Professor Jyoti Parikh\u00a0<\/b>awarded about Rs.6.5 Crore (US$ 1.5 million) as grants to research projects in India. EERC funded 57 research projects from over 30 universities, 23 research institutions and NGOs.The purpose of the programme was to enhance the capacity for the application of economic principles and tools to environmental management in India across the full range of issues such as priority setting, cost-benefit analysis of alternative policies for pollution control, resources management and biodiversity conservation. They cover grass root level case studies or policy studies in many states of India, carried out by reputed institutions like Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) Kolkata, Madras School of Economics (MSE) Chennai, Institute of Economic Growth (IEG) Delhi, Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research (IGIDR) Mumbai, and organization.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

This may be the largest compilation of environmental economics studies in India A rich menu of analytical studies has emerged which fulfills the long existing vacuum of case studies on India. Together these studies provide not only micro level understanding but also national and global perspectives.<\/span><\/p>

The projects tried to come up with policy suggestions for sustainable natural resource management. The field level case studies have added a substantial body of information and understanding to the natural resource management policy in the country.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

EERC set the priorities for research in Environmental Economics and coordinated with other core institutions. EERC undertook the following tasks and responsibilities:<\/span><\/h4>
  1. Helped in identifying the core areas in environmental economics<\/span><\/li>
  2. Determined types of research support, e.g., research projects by faculty members, Ph.D. fellowships etc.<\/span><\/li>
  3. Prescribed guidelines for research support<\/span><\/li>
  4. Evolved procedures for evaluation of research proposals<\/span><\/li>
  5. Provided financial support for research in environmental and resource economics<\/span><\/li>
  6. Held series of workshops at various stages of various cohorts viz inception workshop at conceptual stage, monitoring workshops mid-way and final workshops to conclude the project.<\/span><\/li>
  7. Monitored the progress of the sponsored projects, and<\/span><\/li>
  8. Recommended norms for publication of reports\/books<\/span><\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    The main objective is to enhance the local capacity to undertake research projects on the economics of environmental management. To achieve this goal, the EERC<\/strong> provided not only financial support but arranged meetings, conducted thematic workshops, training programmes for the investigators of the research projects, provided consultancies for data analysis and information about resource persons and encouraged publications based on the findings of the projects.<\/span><\/p>

    Under the MoEF implemented “India: Environmental Management Capacity Building (EMCaB) Technical Assistance Project” with aid from the World Bank, several organizations, executed a countrywide environmental economics capacity Building initiative. Madras School of Economics coordinated the project. Four core institutions viz.<\/span><\/p>
