“Pioneering Sustainability: Analyzing Household Energy Consumption and Waste Generation in Palli, J&K UT-India's first Carbon-Neutral Panchayat" Mr. Balwant Singh, Assistant Professor and PI, Unnat Bharat Abhiyan Coordinator, Dogra Degree College, {Affiliated to the University of Jammu} Bari Brahmana, Jammu, MA, UGC NET{Sociology}, MA {Pub.Administration}, B.Ed., PGDRD --------------------------------------------------------------------------***----------------------------------------------------------------------1. Abstract The "Carbon Neutral is an Initiative of Sh. Narendra Modi Prime Minister of India, Ministry of Panchayati Raj, and Samba district administration J&K UT" includes the Palli Panchayat as a pilot project. With this project, the state hopes to follow a low-carbon, climate-resilient example. The village of Palli is dedicated to India's first carbon-free panchayat., which is in Jammu's Samba district. The 500 KW solar plant was inaugurated by the prime minister at this carbon-neutral panchayat. An area of 9443 Kanal is covered by the Palli Gram Panchayat, or "local self-government," in the Samba district of the J&K UT; over half of this is used for agriculture. 1313 mm of rainfall is typical annually. 3700 people in all, with 1918 males and 1782 women. The goal of this effort is to increase socioeconomic resilience and livelihoods by implementing nature-based adaptation strategies. The following tactics are advised for establishing and sustaining carbon neutrality: 1. Emission reduction, 2. Improving carbon sinks, and 3. Using natural processes to produce carbon credits or reserves. The sample size includes data from the "Energy Utilization Survey" and the "Waste Generation Survey," which were gathered from 724 houses across the whole panchayat. The concept of a "Carbon Neutral Community" encourages zero-carbon growth and regional government-level food and energy self-sufficiency. GHG emissions will decrease if electric autorickshaws and zero trash are promoted. By establishing "The Forest banking" programs for landowners and planting trees, in order to assure organic CO2 elimination. a local green economy could be formed. An innovative pilot initiative called "Carbon Neutral Palli Panchayat" integrates climate action into a resilient local economy. This project was developed to serve as a model for low-carbon and climate-resilient development throughout the nation in the UT of Jammu and Kashmir. Existing manufacturing processes need to be modified immediately in order to reduce the release of greenhouse gases (GHG) and absorb the gas carbon dioxide (CO2) from our atmosphere.
Key Words: Palli Panchayat, Carbon Neutrality, Greenhouse gases {GHG}, CO2, Energy utilization Survey, Waste generation survey
Introduction Palli, a small hamlet in the Samba district of the UT of Jammu and Kashmir, made history on April 24, 2022, when the Honourable Prime Minister of India, Sh. Narendra Modi declared the panchayat as India's first carbon-neutral panchayat. In keeping with this vision, the Ministry of Panchayati Raj and Samba district administration delegated the work of surveying and analyzing the residential energy utilization and waste generation in Palli panchayat to Unnat Bharat Abhiyan. The PI Coordinator, Mr. Balwant Singh Dogra Degree College, was given the assignment by the RCI IIT Jammu to survey and gather manual data on energy use and garbage generation in Palli panchayat. Students' assistance was used to complete this. In order to examine the domestic energy usage and waste generation in Palli panchayat, this report provides the specifics of the survey that was conducted and the results that were analyzed.
