Answer:
1. A Bengali by origin, Anadish Pal took to prototyping in electronics after dropping out of college in in 1982. He started as a self-taught electronics designer who did freelance projects for Maruti, Udyog, Honda, the National Institute for the Visually Handicapped in Dehradun and Duracell. Pal has obtained 10 United States patents in total. In 2009, he got his most significant patent for an electromagnetically-controlled, fuel-efficient internal combustion engine titled “Relaying piston multi-use valve less electromagnetically controlled energy conversion devices.” He was granted two more patents in 2009, another significant patent in 2007 for a 3D computer mouse, one for a high torque electric motor, and one obtained in 2013 for gravity modulation. Pal has also spoken on behalf of saving trees in Delhi in the capacity of an environmentalist. In this regard, he has come under various threats from an anti-tree lobby.
2.Since the early 1980s, Sunita Narain has been speaking out about the state of India’s environment. Currently the director general of the Centre for Science and Environment, and editor of the fortnightly magazine, Down to Earth, Narain had been one of the most prominent environmental activists in the Indian scenario. In 2005 she was awarded the Padma Shri by the Indian government. She has also received the World Water Prize for work on rainwater harvesting and for its policy influence in building paradigms for community based water management. In 2005, she also chaired the Tiger Task Force at the direction of the Prime Minister, to evolve an action plan for conservation in the country after the loss of tigers in Sariska. She advocated solutions to build a coexistence agenda with local communities so that benefits of conservation could be shared and the future secured. “What we need today as a nation is a new paradigm of growth—whenever and however it happens,” she said in a speech to the Jaipur Literature Festival last fall. “This doesn’t mean we have to stop developing. Just we have to do it differently.”
3.Born in Dehradun, Vandana Shiva received a master’s degree in the philosophy of science from Guelph University, Ontario in 1976, and earned a doctorate from the Department of Philosophy at the University of Western Ontario in 1978. She developed an interest in environmentalism during a visit home where she discovered that a favourite childhood forest was being cleared and a stream drained, so that an apple orchard could be planted. Perhaps the best known Indian environmental activist, Dr. Vandana Shiva has been focusing on the effects of globalization on India’s food supply for decades. In fact, she is at the forefront of the anti-globalization movement, which is a global solidarity movement. She has campaigned for the rejection of corporate patents on seeds. She was also best known as a critic of Asia’s Green Revolution, an international effort that began in the 1960s to increase food production in less-developed countries through higher-yielding seed stocks and the increased use of pesticides and fertilisers. In 1991, she launched a project called “Navdanya”, which strove to combat the growing tendency towards monoculture promoted by large corporations. Shiva has also talked extensively about how saving the environment is a feminist issue, particularly in India because much of the labor connected to the processing and preparing food is done by women.
4.Chandi Prasad Bhatt, who hails from Uttarakhand, founded the Dasholi Gram Swarajya Sangh (DGSS) in Gopeshwar in 1964, which later became a mother organisation to the Chipko movement, in which he was one of the pioneers. This was instituted in order to organise fellow villagers in Gopeshwar for employment near their homes in forest-based industries, making wooden implements from ash trees, and gathering and marketing herbs for ayurvedic medicine, and to combat vice and exploitation. Inspired by the Gandhian leader, Jayprakash Narayan’s speech, Bhatt was one of the young people who launched themselves into the Sarvodaya movement, and Gandhian campaigns of Bhoodan and Gramdan.
5.Known as “the waterman of India”, Rajendra Singh is an Indian water conservationist and environmentalist from Alwar district, Rajasthan. He won the Ramon Magsaysay Award for community leadership in 2001 for his pioneering work in community-based efforts in water harvesting and water management. He runs an NGO called ‘Tarun Bharat Sangh’ (TBS), which was founded in 1975. The NGO based in village Kishori-Bhikampura in Thanagazi tehsil near Sariska Tiger Reserve, has been instrumental in fighting the slow bureaucracy and the mining lobby. It has also helped villagers take charge of water management in their semi-arid areas through the use of johad, rainwater storage tanks, dams and other time-tested as well as path-breaking techniques.
