Role of Social Capital in Place Making—Pre-capitalist Spaces and Spaces in Capitalism
Abstract: The argument in this essay is driven by the sole idea of looking at places not just through their physical attributes but the process of their making vis-a-vis the forces that shape them and through the settings in which they flourish (or not). As such, space and place are read as two different entities whereby a place is a space with an assigned activity, space being the blank that cannot …

Study of Groundwater and Surface Water Remediation
Abstract: Groundwater remediation is the process of treating contaminated groundwater by removing contaminants or converting them to harmless chemicals. Water that saturates the pore space in the subsurface and is located beneath the ground surface is known as groundwater. Between 25% and 40% of the world's drinking water comes from boreholes and dug wells. Farmers need groundwater to irrigate crops, while industry use it to make everyday items. Even though most …

Inclusive city development for ageing Indian population: Gap analysis and way forward
Abstract: Ageing is a term that has finally caught the attention of policy makers and development agencies. However, ageing (especially policies that investigate the welfare of this segment of the population in India) has been highly stereotyped. Policies in India treat ageing as only a matter of providing for health care and financial help. The concept of active ageing and including elderly population as active participants of the society is still …
