Arunachal Governor BD Mishra  inaugurated the 3-day 40th Geography Congress of India, on the theme ‘On Climate Variability, Vulnerability and Resource management – Strategies for sustainable Development and Geospatial Technologies’ at Rajiv Gandhi University, Rono Hills, Doimukh on Monday.

In his inaugural address, the Governor expressed his concerns about climate variability, vulnerability of living being from natural calamities and indiscreet exploitation of natural resources. He called upon the geographers to develop strategies for conservation of the flora, fauna and natural environment.

Citing examples of recent floods, climate variation, pollution, the Governor appealed to the geographers to debate and educate the policymakers, common citizen and the younger generation about the importance of living in harmony with the nature.

The Governor suggested that the first step towards conservation should be for responsible management of natural resources, such as water, soil, forest, herbs, wood and other animates to prevent the undue pressure from the human population on Mother Earth.

Stating that with scientific advancement, human beings are moving away from nature, the Governor said that the natural resources are misused and exploited in disproportionate manner. Indigenous ways to coexist with nature is being overlooked. Our new scientific researches and works must be for developing the best ways and methods to conserve the nature, he stressed.

Ravi Shankar, Head, Land use and Monitoring Division, NRSC, ISRO, Govt. of India, Hyderabad. He also released the Abstract Book of 40th Geography Congress of India on the occasion.
