Skill Development Programme (GSDP) had been developed in EI Division in consultation with

the National Skill Development Agency (NSDA). The programme was conceptualized, training

modules prepared as per NSQF guidelines and launched within a record span of 3 months.

Hon’ble MoEF&CC launched the programme and released the Basic Course and Advanced

Course training modules on June 4, 2017, on the eve of World Environment Day.

Skill Development, for the purpose of any Government Scheme, is defined as any domain

specific demand led skill training activity leading to employment or any outcome oriented

activity that enables a participant to acquire a skill, duly assessed and certified by an independent

third-party agency, and which enables him/ her to get wage/ self-employment leading to

increased earnings, and/ or improved working conditions. The EI Division called for skill

development proposals from ENVIS centres in the field of environment, forest and climate

change.

ENVIS Resource Partner on Environmental Biotechnology, University of Kalyani, Nadia, is

funded by the Ministry of Environmental, Forest & Climate Change (MoEF&CC), Govt. of India

sanctioned two GSDP courses namely:

1. Waste Management Solid Waste, Biomedical Waste, Plastic Waste, E-Waste,

Construction and Demolition Waste. (From 24th July-24th September, 2018- Completed).

2. Plant Tissue Culture Techniques and its Applications. (From 14th Nov. 2018 - 13th

February, 2019).

Training Objectives:

To develop trained manpower.

This certificate courses can provide gainful employment opportunities and income to the

trained person also develop skill among the young peoples.

Generate self-employment, in different farms, municipality/corporation, agro industries and

nurseries etc.

Generation of self-employment and improvement of economic and livelihood conditions.

He/She can also start independent business.

Training Methodology: Both theory and practical sessions (with field visit and hands on training) was facilitated by core

academic staff. Well qualified experts delivered lectures and facilitate practical experience. This

certificate course can provide gainful employment opportunities and income to the trainees and

also develop skill among the young peoples. The participants were advised to come prepared for

HANDS-ON-TRAINING, DEMONSTRATION The laboratory safety training was given to the participants before working in different laboratories. The sampling methods of different samples and preservation techniques for laboratory analysis were demonstrated in different field and laboratory condition. Some sample analysis was done in field and some samples bring to laboratoryfor further analysis.

Physicochemical, toxicologicaland biological parameters: The common physico chemical, toxicological and biological parameters of water, wastewater

and sediments were demonstrated to the participants in different laboratory with hands on

practice.

pH:

The term “pH” refers to the measurement of hydrogen ion activity in the solution.Determination

of pH plays an important role in the wastewater treatment process. Extreme levels, presence of

particulate matters, accumulation of toxic chemicals and increasing alkalinity levels are common

problems in wastewater.

As a chemical component of the wastewater, pH has direct influence on wastewater treatability –

regardless of whether treatment is physical/chemical or biological. Because it is such a critical

component of the makeup of the wastewater, it is therefore critically important to treatment.

Before proceeding with treatment, you have to identify the parameters, the impurities that are in

the wastewater. Once you know what you are dealing with, you determine the starting and the

ending pH values, along with treatment procedures; then you have to select the appropriate

chemicals best suited for treatment.

Electrical conductivity meters:

Electrical conductivity is commonly used in measuring the electrical resistance in two solution. It

indicates the total concentration of ionied constituents in the sample solution. It is closely related

to the sum of the cation and anions in the sample solution. According it can be used for salinity

of sample solution.

Ion selective electrode:

Ion selective electrode meter is commonly used for measuring the fluoride concentration in the

solution. The fluoride meter consists of a fluoride selective electrode which is sensitive to the

concentration of fluoride ion.

Collection, preservation and quantification of the waste water plankton:

Planktons are free floating organisms without powers of movement or with very slow

locomotion abilities. Net plankton are planktonic organisms too small to be caught in nets and

must be extracted from water. Two wide categories of plankton are animal plankton

(zooplankton) and plant plankton (phytoplankton).

Organic carbon:

One of the most commonly used tests to evaluate water quality is total organic carbon (TOC)

testing. TOC in source waters comes from decaying natural organic matter (NOM) as well as

synthetic sources. Water can contain both natural and synthetic organic matter, both of which are

measured by TOC testing. It is the amount of carbon found in an organic compound and is often

used as a non-specific indicator of water quality or cleanliness of pharmaceutical manufacturing

equipment. TOC has been an analytic technique used to measure water quality during the

drinking water purification process. The TOC content of water is a basic indication of the level

of organic contamination and water purity.

Determination of Organophosphorus pesticide adsorption in soil sample:

Absorption is the process of binding of atoms, ions, molecules, liquids, gas or dissolved solids

onto a surface by forming a film on the adsorbate. This is a surface phenomenon. The

combination of molecules to a solid or liquid surface. Organophophorus pesticides are a group

of pesticides that includes some of the most toxic chemicals used in chemicals.

Determination of Pyrencecarbonaldehyde concentration using fluorescence

spectrophotometery:

Energy level transitions in an organic molecule while light adsorption and emission is depicted.

When light strikes an organic molecule in the ground state. A part of excitation energy is lost on

vibration relaxation i.e., radiationless transition to the lowest vibrational level takes place in the

excited state. Eventually the molecule returns to the ground state while emitting fluorescent

radiation. Fluorescence persists for a period of 10-8 to 10-9 sec in most cases. The ratio of the

number of photons emitted during fluroscence to the number of photons absorbed is called the

quantum efficiency of a substance. The more fluorescence it emits. Also the intensity of

fluorescence. The larger the quantum efficiency of a substance, the more fluorescence it emits.

Also, the intensity of fluorescence emitted from a substance is proportional to the quantity of

light absorbed by it. In this study the concentration of 1- pyrenecarbomaldehyde is estimated by

using fluorescence spectrometry.

Estimation of Ammoniacal Nitrogen Concentration in water sample by ultraviolet

spectrophotometric oxidizing screening method:

Ammonia reacts with phenol and hydrochloride under alkaline condition in the presence of

sodium nitropruside which acts as a catalyser in the colour

Estimation of phosphate Concentration in water sample by stannous chloride method:

Molybdophosphoric acid is formed and reduced by stannous chloride to intensely coloured

molybdenum blue. This method is more sensitive and more feasible measurements by use of

increased light path length.

Estimation of Nitrate Concentration in water sample:

a. This technique is used only for screening samples that have low organic matter content that

are contaminated in portable water.

b. Sample filtration is intended to remove possible interference from suspended particle.

c. Colour reagent is designed to prevent interference from hydroxide on carbonate

concentration

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy:

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy(ASS) is a spectro-analytical procedure for the quantitative

determination of chemical elements using the adsorption of optical radiation (Light) by free

atoms in the gaseous state.

In analytical chemistry, the technique is used for the determination the concentration of a

particular element (the analyte) in a sample to be analyzed. ASS can be used to determine over

70 different elements in solution or directly in solid samples used in pharmacology, bio-physics,

and toxicology research. The common toxic heavy metals like, As, Pb, Cr, Cu, Cd, Fe, Ni, Zn,

Mn etc. were analyses through AAS.

FIELD AND INDUSTRY VISIT Sewage Water Treatment Plant, Kalyani

The purity of water is diminished when

harmful microbes, organisms and other

kinds of wastes get mixed with water.

Water treatment plants play a significant

part by removing undesirable suspended

solids, chemicals and gases from water thus

making it absolutely pure for the intended

use. Compact water treatment plants,

Containerized Water Treatment Plant, Surface

Water Treatment are some of the many types of

water treatment plants. Among the various methods

used by water treatment plants to purify water are

chlorination, disinfection, filtration and plenty more.

The various water treatment plants can be reached

out at their phone numbers. Micro Filtration

Equipment, Activated Carbon Filters and Chlorine

Dosing Systems are the various types of equipment

which help to remove impurities from water. For

bottled drinking water, the water is collected at the

source, treated and are then packed in bottles before they are supplied to the market. The

page above has details of all the well-known Water Treatment Plants in Kalyani.

Dhapa Municipal Dumpsite Kolkata, West Bengal

Kolkata is the capital of the state of West Bengal

located in the eastern part of India. It is one of the

most highly populated cities in the country and with a

population of 4496694 souls. The city generates about

3,500 to 3,700 tonnes of municipal solid waste

(MSW) daily i.e. 1.3 Million Tons annually. This

waste is almost entirely disposed at the Dhapa Dumping Area from the city limits. Dhapa is a

locality on the fringes of East Kolkata, India. The area consists of landfill sites where the solid

wastes of the city of Kolkata are dumped. "Garbage farming" is encouraged in the landfill sites.

More than 40 per cent of the green vegetables in the Kolkata markets come from these lands.
