[Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi @DrMurliManohar_]

It is painful to see young students from different parts of the country assembled for days on the streets of New Delhi. Their anxieties and concerns regarding the examination system are genuine and must be handled with empathy and a desire to find a lasting solution. I fervently hope that this is not treated merely as a law-and-order issue to be tackled through the use of force. It is very painful to see that even young girls were brutally mishandled.
Such use of force shall alienate large sections of Indian society from the national goal of Viksit Bharat.

यह देखना अत्यन्त पीड़ादायक है कि देश के विभिन्न भागों से आए युवा छात्र कई दिनों से नई दिल्ली की सड़कों पर एकत्रित हैं। उनकी चिंताएँ और सरोकार वास्तविक हैं। इन्हें सहानुभूति तथा दूरगामी समाधान की दृष्टि से हल किया जाना चाहिए। मुझे पूरी आशा है कि इसे केवल कानूनी और व्यवस्था की समस्या के रूप में नहीं देखा जाएगा जिससे बलपूर्वक निपटा जाये। मुझे य़ह देखकर अत्यन्त पीड़ा हुई है कि महिलाओं और युवतियों पर निर्मम बल प्रयोग किया गया।
ऐसे बल के उपयोग से भारतीय समाज का बड़ा हिस्सा विकसित भारत के लक्ष्य से बहुत दूर चला जाएगा।

2. Key Findings

Forest and Tree Cover
- Total Green Cover: 8,27,357 sq km (25.17% of India's geographical area).
- Forest Cover: 7,15,343 sq km (21.76%).
- Tree Cover: 1,12,014 sq km (3.41%).
- Increase Since 2021: +1,445 sq km.
- Forest Cover: +156 sq km.
- Tree Cover: +1,289 sq km.

Forest Density Classification

- Very Dense Forests: Increased by 3,455.12 sq km.
- Moderately Dense Forests: Decreased by 1,043.23 sq km.

- Open Forest: Decreased by 2,480.11 sq km.

Mangrove and Bamboo Resources

- Mangrove Cover: 4,992 sq km; critical for coastal biodiversity.
- Bamboo Bearing Area: Increased by 5,227 sq km to a total of 1,54,670 sq km.

3. State-Level Analysis

Top States by Total Green Cover

- Madhya Pradesh: 85,724 sq km.
- Arunachal Pradesh: 67,083 sq km.
- Maharashtra: 65,383 sq km.

Top States by Increase in Green Cover

- Chhattisgarh (+684 sq km), Uttar Pradesh (+559 sq km), Odisha (+559 sq km), Rajasthan (+394 sq km).

Top States by Percentage of Forest Cover

- Lakshadweep (91.33%), Mizoram (85.34%), Andaman & Nicobar Islands (81.62%).

Losses in Green Cover

- Western Ghats lost 58.22 sq km since 2013 due to eco-sensitive zone pressures.

4. Carbon Stock and Climate Commitments

Carbon Stock in Forests
- Total Carbon Stock: 7,285.5 million tonnes (+81.5 million tonnes since 2021).

Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)

- India achieved an additional carbon sink of 2.29 billion tonnes CO₂ equivalent since 2005.
- Target: Create an additional sink of 2.5–3 billion tonnes CO₂ equivalent by 2030.

5. Technological Integration

- Real-time forest fire alerts.
- Monitoring changes in forest density and cover.

6. Policy Frameworks and Initiatives

National Forest Policy (1988)

- Discrepancies in classification of forests.
- Unrecorded forests remain vulnerable to encroachment and diversion for development projects.

8. Global Context and Comparisons

Alignment with Global Goals
- Supports UN’s REDD+ program for reducing emissions from deforestation.

Biodiversity Hotspots
- India’s mangroves contribute to global coastal ecosystem resilience.

Dollarisation
1. Definition:
- Dollarisation refers to a situation where a country chooses to adopt the U.S. dollar (or another stronger foreign currency) as a medium of exchange, either partially or completely, alongside or in place of its domestic currency.

2. Origins and Evolution:
- The practice gained prominence with the Bretton Woods Conference (1944), where the U.S. dollar was established as the primary global reserve currency.

- The dollar’s value was initially pegged to gold at a fixed rate, creating a stable international trade system. Post the collapse of the gold standard in 1971, the dollar retained its dominance due to trust in the U.S. economy and its extensive global trade networks.

3. Reasons for Dollarisation:
- Currency Stability: Economically weaker countries with volatile domestic currencies adopt the dollar to control inflation and stabilize their economies.

- Trust and Trade Facilitation: The dollar is viewed as a stable and reliable currency for international trade, particularly for large volumes.

- Global Reserve: Central banks globally hold the U.S. dollar as a significant portion of their reserves, providing confidence in its long-term stability.

4. Global Dominance of the Dollar:
- Reserve Currency: The dollar accounts for the largest share of central bank reserves.

- Global Transactions: It is pivotal in around $6.6 trillion in daily transactions.

- Commodities Benchmark: International commodities like oil and gold are predominantly traded in U.S. dollars.

- Pegged Currencies: Many countries (e.g., Gulf nations) peg their currencies to the dollar to mitigate risks of exchange rate fluctuations.

- Sanction Power: The U.S. uses the dollar as an economic weapon, as seen in cases like sanctions on Iran.

--------------------------------------------------

De-dollarisation
1. Definition:
- De-dollarisation is when countries reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar in trade, financial transactions, and reserves.

2. Key Drivers of De-dollarisation:
- Geopolitical Tensions: Sanctions and restrictions imposed by the U.S. (e.g., on Russia and Iran) have encouraged countries to seek alternatives.
- Multipolar World: The rise of competing economic powers like China and blocs like BRICS has led to diversification in reserve currencies and trade practices.

3. Initiatives Toward De-dollarisation:
- Shift to Alternative Currencies:
- Russia and China increasingly trade using the Chinese renminbi (RMB) instead of dollars.
- BRICS nations are exploring the creation of a new common currency.
- Gold Accumulation: Several countries, including India, are ramping up gold purchases as a hedge against dollar dependence.
- Regional Trade Agreements: Many nations now use local currencies in trade agreements to mitigate currency risks linked to the dollar.

4. Challenges to De-dollarisation:
- Limited Alternatives: The U.S. dollar’s liquidity and global trust surpass competing currencies like the Chinese yuan or the euro.
- Economic Disruptions: Transitioning away from the dollar can strain trade, debt obligations, and reserves.

5. Significance and Implications:
- De-dollarisation reflects a growing effort to curb the U.S.’s financial and geopolitical hegemony. However, achieving meaningful diversification will require global economic cooperation, trust in alternative systems, and significant changes to trade practices.
