Headnote | Environmental laws: Wild life – Protection and conservation of endangered species – Writ petition seeking protection of birds- Great Indian bustard (GIB) and Lesser Florican, on verge of extinction since they are getting killed on their collision with the overhead power lines – Directions sought to the State of Rajasthan and Gujarat to ensure predator proof fencing, controlled grazing in the enclosure development – Direction sought that not to permit installation of overhead power lines, further construction of windmills and installation of solar infrastructure in priority and potential habitat – Direction also sought for undergrounding all future overhead power lines; selected power lines in priority GIB habitat and installation of divertors in potential habitat – Held: In view of the sustainable development concept and on striking a balance, the protection of the rare species of birds is essentially to be made, while at the same time allowing transmission of power in an appropriate manner – It would not be feasible to lay underground power cables in certain areas and the conversion of the already existing cables also cannot be made in certain locations – In such locations, it is recommended that ‘bird divertors’ be installed on the existing power lines and the undergrounding of the new power line wherever technically feasible in the vicinity of the habitats be undertaken – Furthermore, eggs of the said species of birds to be protected, by transferring the same to the breeding centres – Laying of the underground power line more particularly of high- voltage, would require technical evaluation on case- to- case basis – Committee is constituted to assess the feasibility of laying of high- voltage underground power line – In view thereof, all low voltage powerlines to be laid in the priority and potential habitats of GIB, to be laid underground in future, and the existing low voltage overhead powerlines to be converted into underground powerlines – High- voltage powerlines in the priority and potential habitats of GIB, as referred herein, to be converted into underground power line. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
