|
Taking cue from the ongoing efforts in Andhra Pradesh, the Department of Pharmaceuticals (DoP) of the Indian Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers has started similar Eco Industrial Park efforts as in Andhra Pradesh for pharmaceuticals industry in India.
GTZ ASEM is providing technical cooperation to DoP in this regard and is a member fo the National level Task Force set up by DoP for environment & hazard management in pharmaceuticals sector in India.
GTZ ASEM is assisting in developing a "Strategy Paper and Action Plan" for implementation of environment and hazard management in the pharmaceuticals sector in India with focus on environment, disaster management and climate change. Targeting the expansion of the Eco Industrial Park efforts beyond Andhra Pradesh, awareness workshops were conducted in Gujarat and Bhopal on "Eco Industrial Parks". Based on the feedback received from the workshop, the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) has submitted a strategy paper, jointly prepared with GTZ ASEM, to the Ministry of Environment & Forests for extending technical cooperation of GTZ under ASEM Programme for planning and developing eco industrial parks in Gujarat.
The scaling up for eco industrial park approach in other States of India will lead to measureable improvements in terms of resource efficiency, waste and wastewater management, cleaner production and lower pollution loads. |
