Dear Colleague

Greetings from India!

I am sure this would be of interest to you.

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)and the International
Development Research Centre (IDRC) of Canada in collaboration with Ministry
of Environment and Forests (India) has launched the portal site of
Sustainable Development Networking Programme, India (SDNP-India) at
http://sdnp.delhi.nic.in mirrored at http://members.tripod.com/sdnp_india.
SDNP India is a part of the Global Capacity 21 Initiative of the UNDP to
foster informed decison-making by countries in environmental matters. More
information of the global SDNP Initiative is available at
http://www.sdnp.undp.org

The SDNP India website provides access to a host of online databases,
environmental legislation, case studies, publications, news clippings and
electronic discussion groups on gamut of issues from Agriculture to Climate
Change to Population, Health and Human Rights. A database of international
organisations working on sustainable development issues is being maintained
on the website and has been indexed subject area wise. We have also started
to host information on Environment and Sutainable Development in local
Indian languages too, so as to enhance the reach of the programme. 

The website also provides a platform to initiate debates and discussions,
highlight developmental issues and initiate environmental actions at all
levels through a host of services such as Building Bridges, Development Job
Opportunities, Query Desk, Dev-Online, Event Reporting service, Web-Site
Hosting and Training on Information and Communication Technologies. 

More information about these services is available at the SDNP website or
