Rajasthan is rich in non-metallic and industrial minerals. The minerals found in the state include Limestone, Dolomite, Lignite, Barytes, Calcite, Clay, Emerald, Feldspar, Emerald, Fluorite, Garnet, Gypsum, Potash, Rock-Phosphate, Silica sand, Siliceous Earth, Soapstone, Wollastonite, Marble, Granite, Sand stone and Slates. The process of the mineral grinding industry involves generation of harmful air pollutants and requires water in the process and hence it has been categorized as red category industry.

The project titled “Municipal Solid Waste Management in Jaipur: Current Status and Way Forward” is to be done under RSPCB to understand the current situation of MSWM in the Jaipur city and also to identify the possible ways to improve the management of MSW so that a burden can be converted into a profit oriented business i.e. to recover energy from the waste. MSWM is basically a six stage process: generation, segregation, collection, storage, transportation and disposal. On the basis of these six stages the project also moved to get a more grasp on the MSWM.

Clay bricks are produced in Rajasthan in small or cottage scale brick kilns and clamps which operate seasonally. The raw materials in the brick kilns include topsoil, coal, paddy husk, fly ash, wood & locally available agro wastes to some extent. Brick manufacturing process generates emissions discharged from the brick kilns. Brick kiln emissions consists of mainly coal fines and dust particles. There are other activities like mining/quarrying of clay, handling &
transportation of raw material/bricks which also contribute to air pollution.

Textile industry is one of the highly polluting industries in the state having potential for creating pollution of water and air. The major operations performed in a typical textile processing industry are desizing, scouring, mercerizing, bleaching, neutralizing, dyeing, printing and finishing. The discharge of polluted effluents and use of various raw materials may cause contamination of soil, ground water and surface water which may have adverse consequences on environment in general and local population in particular.

Driven by perpetually rising demand for energy, more than 100 countries including India have enacted policies and programmes for harnessing solar energy. The achievements, however, have been mixed so far. This review provides the
practitioner perspective and reviews the progress made in development of solar energy in Thar desert, Rajasthan— among the most promising solar hotspots in India. Understanding early ground-level efforts for solar energy development is essential, as these insights can prove vital for other regions in India and elsewhere.

Rajasthan is rich in non-metallic and industrial minerals. The minerals found in the state include limestone, dolomite, lignite, barytes, calcite, clay, emerald, feldspar, fluorite, garnet, gypsum, potash, rock-phosphate, silica sand, siliceous earth, soapstone, wollastonite, marble, granite, sand stone and slates.

Land-use options that increase resilience and reduce vulnerability of contemporary societies are fundamental to livelihoods improvement and adaptation to climate change. Agroforestry as a wide-spread land-use adaptation may potentially support livelihoods improvement through simultaneous production of food, fodder and firewood as well as mitigation and adaptation to climate change. Drawing on the representative literature from peer-reviewed research, this paper critically examines the contribution of agroforestry systems in India to: biodiversity conservation; yield of

The State Board has issued detailed guidelines from time to time to facilitate the process of grant of consent to establish/ consent to operate and to suitably guide/ advise the industries for taking appropriate measures for abatement of pollution. The purpose of developing sector specific guidance manual for Mining projects is to provide clear and concise information to all the stakeholders i.e.

The State Board has issued detailed guidelines from time to time to facilitate the process of grant of consent to establish/consent to operate and also to suitably guide/advice the stone crushing industry for taking appropriate measures for abatement of pollution.
