Work Experience
Research Work Done at NBRI, Lucknow
Worked as Junior and Senior Research Fellow and Research Associate of CSIR at National
Botanical Research Institute (NBRI), Lucknow from 1975-1983. During this period actively engaged in
research work relating to plant cytogenetics and worked on Doctoral Thesis ―Cytogenetics of some
ornamentals with particular reference to Nymphea and Costus‖ under the guidance of late Dr. T.N.
Khoshoo who was the then Director of NBRI. These studies had lead to the understanding of genetic
evolutionary race history of garden nymphaeas. This work also resulted in evolving new varieties of
garden nymphaeas through the techniques of hybridization and induced polyploidy. These studies have
been of tremendous help in conservation of genetic resources of garden nymphaeas. The work has been
published in both national and international journals of repute. During the period also worked on the
research project ―New Energy Sources coordinated project on screening and cultivation of potential petro
crops and their conversion to petroleum hydrocarbons‖. These studies have been of considerable help in
conservation of plant genetic resources and also in identifying botanical sources for the purpose of
energy and amelioration of environmental degradation.
Work Done / Being Done at MoEF, New Delhi
Since May 1983, has been working in the Ministry in various capacities as Environmental
Officer, Joint Director, Additional Director and Director. Since then actively involved in policy planning
and coordination for environmental protection including promotion of research, pollution prevention and
control and Environmental Impact Assessment. Also actively involved in implementation of the Policy
Statement for Abatement of Pollution through schemes such as environmental audit, adoption of clean
technologies in small scale industries, environmental statistics and mapping, zoning atlas for siting of
industries, abatement of pollution in critically polluted areas, incentives for pollution control,
environmental epidemiological studies, environmental pollution monitoring and analysis, green belt for
abatement of pollution and environment improvement in selected cities/towns, setting up of CETPs in
cluster of SSIs etc. Also involved in implementing programmes relating to vehicular pollution control,
noise pollution control, waste minimization/cleaner production in small scale industries. Also interacted
with Central and State Pollution Control Boards for implementation of pollution control programmes
including enforcement of various standards notified under the Environment (Protection) Act.
Actively involved in promoting the concept of waste minimization in small and medium scale
industries through establishment of Waste Minimisation Circles, organizing training and awareness
programmes and bringing out sector specific manuals on waste minimization. Also actively assisted in
developing the Ecocity concept and launching the Ecocity scheme in selected cities/towns through
interaction with various concerned agencies at State Government.
To implement the above programme, schemes have been formulated including budgetary
requirements for approval under EFC/SFC.
To implement the above-mentioned programmes effectively, field level activities had been
undertaken including visits to Pollution Control Boards, industries and other concerned agencies such as
industry associations, State Environment Departments etc. As Director in C.P. Division, visited many
industries to ascertain the implementation of pollution prevention and control programmes and
compliance of emission and effluent standards. During the visits interacted with the entrepreneurs to get
to know the difficulties being faced by them while implementing the pollution control programmes and

8. Achievements:
Undersigned have been working at a fairly senior level i.e. Jt. Director onwards right from
the very beginning at RO, Lucknow in the field of environment management including
pollution control for major industrial, mining, power plants and other developmental
projects. There are a number of significant achievements to my credit. These includes
publishing of scientific papers based on my field experience and a number of assignments
carried out by project authorities as per my guidance. However, few of these are listed
below for your kind consideration.
(A) Installation of effluent treatment plant (ETP) at Kakri, Khadia and Dudichua coal
mines of M/s Northern Coal Fields Ltd., Distt. Sonebhadra, U.P. is my achievement
because this matter was vigorously pursued by me and non-compliance was repeatedly
conveyed to them. Presently each of these mines have separate ETP which can be seen
even today.
57
(B) Technical and Biological stabilization of overburden (OB) dumps was closely and
regularly monitored by me in respect of Kakri, Khadia and Dudichua mines of M/s
Northern Coal Fields Ltd. Distt. Sonebhadra. Project Authorities informed that angle of
slope of OB dump to 280
will require large area. Presently dense plantation on OB
dumps and reduction in normal angle of repose can be seen at project site.
(C) Continuous online monitors for monitoring of stack emissions in the stacks of cement
plant of M/s Ambuja Cement Ltd. at Rabriawas, Distt. Pali, Rajasthan is my
achievement this matter was repeatedly followed with project authorities, today these
online monitors can be verified in the cement plant.
(D) Systematic green belt all along plant boundary of fertilizer plant of M/s Tata Fertilizer,
Babrala, Distt. Badaun, U.P. is the result of my regular follow up with project
authorities. This can be verified at project site.
(E) My efforts in monitoring have resulted in development of green belt in a difficult
terrain of Rajasthan at Rampur Agucha Mine of M/s Hindustan Zinc Ltd. Bhilwara.
This can be seen at project site even today.
(F) Rain water harvesting structures and ground water recharge wells at project site of
Lakshmi cement plant of M/s J.K. Cement, Sirohi is the encouraging result of my
regular monitoring of this project. This can be verified at project site.
(G) My quality of work at Regional Office, Lucknow has been judged as excellent by
my Head of the Department.
(H) Leading scientific papers published in different generals, proceedings of International/
National Convention/ Seminars.
9. Any other relevant information, if any:
Innovative Activity undertaken
1. To strengthen the existing environmental monitoring system, undersigned have
described a universally acceptable system of Environmental Monitoring which was
very well recognized and published in the year 2000, as a chapter in Oxford and IBH
publication book entitled environment management in hydropower and river valley
projects. This work has resulted in improved compliance of environmental safeguards
in various sectors of development.
2. Undersigned have described Strategic Environmental Assessment as a tool for
sustainable development & presented in National & International Seminars during
1996 and 2007. This work is also published as a chapter in the book entitled Issues of
Environment and Sustainability by Dr. V. P. Upadhyay. Presently regional EIA
adopted is a part of SEA.
3. The first innovative activity carried out by me was on economics of mass rearing of
Rice moth. I have reared Rice moth on ten different diets and found Ragi and Maize
Mixer (50 : 50) as most suitable. The successes of rearing egg parasites in our country
depends on rice moth as host. My work was very well recognized and published in
Nutri. Ecol. Ins. & Env., pp. 39-45, 1989. Presently Rice moth is reared on the low cost
grains in biological control stations.
4. Undersigned have first time recorded a new Species of genus Nomia Latreille from
India. My work has been recognized and published in The Kerala University Journal,
Entomon, 1988, Vol. 13.No. 3 & 4, pp. 327 to 329.
58
5. Undersigned have described Caste Differentiation in Halictus ducalis Bingham and
important pollinator and is of economic importance. This work is also published in J.
Adv. Zool. 1988: 9(1) : 74-75.
6. Undersigned have described natural enemies and nest structure of Halictus (seladonia)
lucidipennis, Smith from India. This work is also published in J. Adv. Zool. 1989 : 10
(1) : 70-72.
Besides, my day to day environment management related work Undersigned
have also written and presented a number of scientific/technical papers in

A) I possess considerable field experience as given below:
My Doctoral and Post Doctoral work from 1981 to 1989 was primarily based on field
work in different Forest types of India. This resulted in acquiring first hand field
experience in Forest Ecology, Tree Biology, Medicinal Plants and Non-Timber Forest
Products including Gums and Resins.
Work as Deputy Director and Joint Director in Research Division of MOEF from 1990
to 2000 also entailed several field visits to the Eastern & Western Ghats region in

Between 1990 and 2003, I was involved in Climate Change Work for which I was
deputed as ‗government nominee‘ in over 35 important UN/ADB Meetings/Seminars
in different parts of the World. Participation in these meetings broadened my mental
horizon, improved my understanding of international environmental issues and
provided me with an opportunity to discuss and share my experiences with others.

Nature of work assigned is directly related to the public. Quick disposal of proposals for ‗Terms
of References‘ & ‗Environment Clearances‘ and superb efficiency is well appreciated by all concerned time
to time.
11. Any other relevant information, if any :
Due to the background knowledge of ‗Environmental Toxicology‘ and ‗Occupational Health‘, it
was easy and quick to assess the anticipated impact of particular pollutants and monitor the same during site
visit and stipulate relevant environmental safeguards. This has also helped to communicate likely impacts
of anticipated pollutants to Project proponents directly during the site visit and to take necessary
precautionary/remedial measures to avoid any damage to the surrounding environment or any occupational
health hazard to the workers. Persistent enforcement for installation of air pollution control equipments
(APCS), treatment of waste water, recycling and reuse of treated wastewater, ‗zero‘ discharge,
minimization of solid waste through reutilization, enforcement for noise control measures, rain water
harvesting has not only reduced health hazards to the workers, reduction in fresh water consumption but
also in pollution load in air and water bodies. Similarly, during monitoring of recyclers / reprocessors,
continuous persuasion to install APCS, adoption of safety measures by the workers and good house keeping
lead to the significant change in the altitude of PAs as evidenced during the next surprise visits. Field visit
experience is helping today in stipulating practically feasible stringent environment conditions for all
category of development projects while according environment clearances.

28. Any other relevant information, if any:
I have been involved in the marine and the coastal sector since, 1980‘s when I entered into the
Bachelor in Fisheries Science from College of Fisheries, Mangalore. Later I completed Master‘s in
Fisheries Sciences and after a short tenure in the Coastal Aquaculture Farms at Nellore, I joined the
Ministry and worked in the CP Division. To get on the ground experience I moved to Bangalore Regional
Office where I worked for two years. After my return back to Ministry of Environment and Forests I have
been involved in the Coastal Zone Management till today.
For the last 11 years in the area of Coastal Zone Management, I have learn not only the various
social, political and administrative issues related to Coastal Zone Management but also the international
scenarios related to this area. During this tenure I have also completed my doctorate from Institute for
Ocean Management, Anna University, Chennai, titled ―Policies and Framework for Coastal Management in
India‖.
During these period of work in the Coastal Zone, I have observed that the traditional communities
especially the fishermen are the most affected and are living in the same or if not worst conditions that
prevailed about 20-30 years earlier. The fishermen and their communities are exploited by wealthy
influential people. The Governments have not been able to address the issues comprehensively. Lack of a
proper fishing regulations, insufficient onshore facilities such as jetties, workshops, post harvest processing
facilities, marketing facilities etc., lead to very less economic return for the catch. In addition, the scientific
data of the resources are not made available to the communities. Further, catch per unit effort is also
declining due to uncontrolled fishing, pollution, depletion of coastal ecosystems like mangroves, mudflats,
corals, coastal vegetation etc.
The Governments are concentrating on developing infrastructure, tourism on the coast, housing
projects etc., while the issues of the fishermen and local communities are not addressed. Hence, in my
opinion while there is a need for a strong regulation/legislation, the Ministry has to get to the grass root
level and make aware the coastal communities of the rights and develop the Panchayat/local institution that
can address the problems at the local level itself.
The other major achievements in the area of Coastal Zone Management include,-
(a) For the purpose of demarcation of Vulnerability Line the methodology has been firmed up in
consultation with National and International Experts. The vulnerability line shall be the line which will
be demarcated on the ground for regulating activities so that the loss of life and property is minimized
during natural hazards. This is one of first of its kind undertaken in the World.
(b) Based on the international practice and scientific principles, the Integrated Coastal Zone Management
studies were initiated for the islands of Andaman & Nicobar and Lakshadweep, stretches of Orissa,
Kerala, Karnataka and West Bengal. The Integrated Coastal Zone Management for the islands had been
recognized as a way forward for sustainable development and conservation of the ecosystem. The
Integrated Coastal Zone Management is in the process of implementation by means of a notification.

WORKING EXPERIENCE IN RESPECT OF DR (MRS) RUBAB JAFFER, SCINTIST ―B‖
1. CHEMOTAXONOMICAL PROBLEM FOR DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (D. PHIL)
Worked on very important Taxonomical Problem related to the
aromatic grasses (Angiosperm). The title is "Numerical Chemosystematics studies on some Indian
Cymbopogons". A survey has been carried out to collect available strains of Indian Cymbopogons and
introduced them successfully in the experimental gardens. Herbarium specimens also prepared and
submitted. Herbarium specimens also studied where the live materials were either rare or not available and
in this connection herbarium of Botanical Survey of India, Botany Branch of ICFRE and others institutions
were consulted. Selected strains have been studied for the external morphological characteristics. All the
strains under investigation have been studied for the presence of Flavonoids (phenolics) by Thin Layer
Chromatography (T.L.C.) and also separated the different flavonoids on T.L.C. plate in Chemistry branch
of I.C.F.R E, Dehradun (Uttaranchal).
On the basis of morphological and chemical investigation carried out, the classifications of various
species and varieties of Cymbopogon have been done and an identification Key Listing all varieties and
species has been developed. Such type of study carried out may help in tracing out the phylogeny and
chemical evolution in plants and grasses of Economic importance.
Also established the validity of Java Citronella grass Cymbopogan winterianus
on the basis of morphological characteristics.
2. EXPERIENCE AT INDIAN COUNCIL OF FORESTRY RESEARCH EDUCATION
(ICFRE) DEHRADUN. Research :( December1983-May1989) Possessing 5 and half years Research experience in
various disciplines of Forestry. Important is to mention the experience gained in Minor Forest
Product and tissue culture laboratory of Radio Isotope Branch.
(i) Minor Forest Product (M.F.P.) :
Having three and half years experience in carrying out research work on utilization,
conservation, exploitation of various non wood Forest Products (gum resins, essential oil, medicinal &
aromatic plants, tans, dyes, Bamboos & Canes etc.)
Also having an experience in pharmacognosy dealing with the cultivation and
exploitation of medicinal plants trees. Carried out various experiments e.g. Fertilizer,
hormonal trials on commercially important medicinal plants/trees of tropical, sub-tropical and
temperate region. Carried out survey to collect medicinal and aromatic Plants and introduced
them in the experimental garden of M.F.P. Branch. Established the methodology for
obtaining essential oils from grasses, Eucalyptus and other aromatic plants at different
periodicity.
(ii) Experience in Tissue Culture (Biotechnology)
Having Research Experience in Tissue culture laboratory of Radio Isotope Branch. Tissue
culture is an important field to accelerate breeding programme involving hybridization
production of haploid viz author culture and mutation breeding. The methods of the in-vitro
multiplication of elite clones of Eucalyptus citriodora, E. citriodora x E. torelliana have
been standardize while the micro propagation of other forest tree species were carried out.
Multiple shoots were obtained from mature nodal explants of trees. The plantlets have been
raised under in-vitro condition and kept for hardening. Few Pheno variants of E. citriodora
were also obtained. By micro propagation in Tissue culture, result is a high rate of
multiplication and short generation cycle.
Gained experience in this aspect can be very well exploited in multiplying species of
desired genetic constitution. Some of the important endangered and vulnerable species of
forest trees can also be conserved by applying the modern technique of tissue culture. Also
involved in the establishment of tissue culture laboratory in Radio Isotope Branch of ICFRE,
Dehradun.
(iii) Laboratory Experience Expert in handling the modern technique of Thin Layer
Chromatography (T.L.C.) for the identification of various trees and plants products. Beside
above also capable of handling all modern equipment used in tissue culture laboratory.
