Regulators Brochure 2013-14
We are delighted to inform you that the training and capacity building programmes for State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) and Pollution Control Committees (PCCs) done by Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) in collaboration with Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) and Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) have successfully completed two and a half years.
So far, we have conducted ten short-term training programmes (of one week each) for senior/mid-level officers and five long-term training programmes (of one month each) for junior officers. In totality, we have trained over 260 junior, mid level and senior officers from different SPCB/PCC and CPCB.
Over the years we have tried to make the training programmes more relevant and contemporary by involving the best national and international experts. Last year we also introduced an international training under which we took participants to Sweden. This international training will happen this year as well. Till now, we have received good feedback from the participants and we will continue to improve and innovate to design and deliver the best possible capacity building programme for environmental regulators.
As per the agreement between CSE, CPCB and MoEF, we are organising four one week Advanced Training Programmes and two one month National Minimum Training Programmes during 2013-14 as well. In addition this year we are organising a South Asia regulators training programme in which pollution control officers from South Asian countries will participate and interact with each other.
The course is free. CSE will take care of the participants' accommodation, food etc. However, the SPCBs/PCCs will have to pay for travel, TA/DA etc.
The short-term advance training programme is open for officials with about 5-10 years of working experience. The one month training programme is for newly recruited officials or officials with 1-5 years of experience.
