Questions asked to Honble Justice Swatanter Kumar

1. When we have full and fledged Ministry of Environment. Do we really need
NGT? What are the power and jurisdiction of the NGT?
2. Sir, do you believe that green tribunal should have more powers as more and more
cases are registered with the tribunal. Also do you feel any challenges dealing
with state and central government due to federal structure.
3. Is NGT a toothless body like Press council . which only issues directives? How
far the decision of NGT are binding and are implemented? The directions are
issued from time to time, but is it also a body like press council which does not
have any teeth. Does Ministry of Environment has superceding powers ?
4. Do you believe that NGT and government are on different planes as far as
clearances of Govt projects are concerned?
5. Media has given mixed relations on Okhla bird sanctury, as construction in UP is
stopped but not in Delhi. How do you respond to it?
6. What are the other challenges faced by the tribunal? Is it accessible to the
commom man? What are the measures taken by tribunal for fast disposal of cases.
7. You have been on pollution board for long. What is your take on Odd- even
formula. Will it be a success if applied for long time?
8. Your valuable advice for us to do our bit for green evvironment?
World Book Fair 2016: Learning through Assignments
New Delhi: The annual World Book Fair would be one wish that any avid reader would ask for.
However, this event has also turned out to be a destination for assignments as well.. The first
year students of Journalism and Mass Communication, from Vivekananda Institute of
Professional Studies were given an assignment, to write a report on World Book Fair. The
purpose of this assignment was to help the students, to understand the concept of reporting and
news writing. With this assignment, the students got a taste of how it is like to work on field.
They were assigned different themes, which helped them to cover the fair. The themes were
authors corner, publication division, children's section, Kindle stall and many more.
According to Shaifali Saini, a student This book fair gave us a plethora of opportunities to
finish up with the assignment. Until now, I used to go to the book fair only because of my love
for books but, this time it was a tad bit professional as I got to explore varied angles. This
assignment also taught the students to be observant in order to have a nose for news, and helped
them to come out of their shell.
I found the assignment quite interesting. After doing this assignment, I would definitely
want to be a reporter as, it gave me a chance to interact with different people. says Tusheeta
Kaushik, a strident. Apart from the regular classroom lectures, the students found this assignment

quite useful and encouraging, as not only they got an insight to what reporting is but they had a
chance to function as a reporter.

Ashutosh from AAP,Mr.Pankaj Pushkar from AAP who has recently turned its opponent along
with two eminent journalists Mr.Vinod Agnihotri with Mrs. Neerja Choudhary. Issues like

Place: News World India Studio, Film City , Noida
Topic of Discussion: Environmental Effects on Yamuna caused by World Culture Festival

About the Discussion: The panel discussion focused on the issue of possible environmental
effects of the World Culture Festival organized by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on the banks of Yamuna.
25 students from Vivekananda School of Journalism and Mass Communication participated in it.
The program started with a Video report showing how the festivities all around the country on
the river banks degrades aspects of the environment like affecting the groundwater recharge, the
water in the rivers themselves being far below the standards of human consumption. The
panelists were Acharya Pramod Krishnam- an expert on cultural, political and spiritual issues of
our country, senior journalist Shri Ram Kripal Singh, Mr. Manoj Mishra who is an
environmentalist linked to the 'Yamuna Jiye' campaign. Also joining via satellite were Acharya
Chakrapani, a religious leader and environmentalist Mr. Mrilundu Jha .Many critical issues were

discussed like the black money hoarding crisis that most high profile individuals in the country
seemed to be involved in and their having a monopoly in all industries and sections and holding
great political influence that was witnessed in this festival. The heated logics given by panelists
talked about the availability of permissions to use an 'active flood-plain' and an eco-sensitive
area and involvement of civic bodies like DDA . The discussion was concluded on the point that
should be no exceptions when it comes to following the law.
Outcome: The discussion provided a platform for the students to understand and examine the
role, functions and reports of various authorities and bodies like National Green Tribunal, Delhi
Development Authority along with different ministries and satte governments. Moreover, the
discussion proved to be a fabulous combination of the provisions in the field of law, judiciary,
civic bodies and media for the students of journalism.. The students interacted with the panelists
and participated in the discussion by putting forward their questions and logics as well.

follows:

First Prize:

By the end of the event, a rich academic ambience had been created by the quality presentations

on Juvenile Delinquency. The event was organized in VIPS auditorium on March 16,
2016(Wednesday) from 02p.m- 03:30p.m. The event was sponsored by Pehal- zindagi ki ore
NGO.
Crime by juveniles is a harsh reality in India. In recent times juveniles were found to be
involved in most heinous of the crimes such as murder and gang rape. Many experts believe that
the present law is inadequate to deal with the situation and we need changes in it so that for
heinous crimes juveniles may also be tried and punished as adults. But there are views in
opposition as well which do not subscribe to this view. It is not that we are not aware of such
issues which exist in our society. What is lacking is the part where we are only restricting
our ideas to the social networking sites. We need to communicate and discuss about such issues
in a healthy environment.The event provided an opportunity to explore the topic .
The esteemed panelists were

Nirbhayas Mother Mrs.Asha Dev

Legal expert Mrs. Manju Abraham Pattiyani : Lawyer in Supreme Court with work
experience of over 25years.

Social activist Mr. Navneet Shastri : a social activist who works for the protection of
