I think that in spite of the good intentions behind it, implementation of this policy will not bring the much desired change in the existing level of pollution in the city. We are not doing away with the real factor behind the pollution, and that is diesel. The policy will also have severe implications on the socio-economic and cultural scenario of the city.

The major challenge in Delhi is the lack of alternative means of transportation. All those cities around the world that have been able to reduce the number of cars on the streets, have a strong and sustainable public transport system. Availability of sufficient infrastructure for people to walk easily is a must for the development of any city. Making better footpaths, subways, zebra crossings and other such measures will encourage people to walk more. Improving pedestrian infrastructure will also persuade commuters to use public transport systems, thus creating a sustainable transport culture.The city is in a real and desperate need of a much more efficient public transport system. The government should introduce more CNG buses with enough seating capacity and convenient travel facilities.But there are some villages where water is no longer a problem, farmers are growing not one but three crops a year, and households are even earning additional income from animal husbandry! Amla started her work by constructing check dams near the villages. Check dams, also known as khadin, are structures that involve comparatively small masonry constructions and extensive earthen bunds. They are most effective in hilly terrain where the whole hill range can be used as catchment for the reservoir. They have all the advantages of the large dams and none of the disadvantages, such as displacement and rehabilitation of people, huge underutilized dead storage of water, water logging, risk of breach causing extensive damage to life and property, etc. They are also cost effective.

Her first project in Mandawar village showed great success and the farmers managed to earn as much as Rs. 12 crore within a year with the help of two check dams constructed by the Trust. After that, there was no looking back.In most households in rural India, women do the cooking. So the stove would be something that would mostly benefit them. We initially started doing demonstrations with different women’s groups and self-help groups,” said Neha. Even after several demonstrations to seemingly interested customers, however, Greenway Grameen’s sales remained low. You'll pass through wide river valleys, aspen- and pinyon-dotted foothills of the snow-capped Sangre de Cristo Mountains and pueblo villages pocketed by sandstone cliffs. Stretch your legs at Carson National Forest, where trails lead to groves of ponderosa pine and cedar. Keep an eye out for elk and golden eagles. Detour for lunch in Cordova, a wood-carving town cut with narrow roads, then take a stroll through the artistic village of Chimayo, lined with artist studios, galleries and handicraft stores housed in tin-roofed adobes. As you meander south along the juniper-speckled 503, enjoy distant views of the 13,000-foot Truchas Peak before you pass by the iconic 17th-century Nambe Pueblo, located about 30 minutes north of Santa Fe.Secluded swimming holes, eucalyptus-patched swaths and enchanting coastal views make the 38-mile jaunt between Pauwela to Hana the most scenic stretch on Hawaii's second-largest island. Before embarking on the five hours recommended for this coastal drive, peruse pint-size boutiques and fuel up on the daily catch at the Fish Market Restaurant in historic Paia. Fern-flanked trailheads can be accessed from the highway, from which you can hike to serene picnic spots along the bamboo-lined Waikamoi Ridge Trail and in the 26-acre Garden of Eden Arboretum and Botanical Garden.

Need to cool off? Take a dip in the waterfall-fed swimming hole at Puohokamoa Stream, hike 1.2 miles past Makahiku and Waimoku falls for the seven "sacred pools" at Kipahulu, or find the trailhead that leads to the secluded copper-hued (and clothing-optional) cove of Kaihalulu (Red Sand Beach). Have the camera ready for valley vistas at Wailua and coastal views at Kaumahina State Wayside Park.

These scenic drives are the main reason why many people embark on a ROAD TRIP! Do you know other amazing destinations in the United States that are perfect for road trips? Please share them with us.
Once a carriage road leading to the 19th-century Hotel del Monte, California's 17-Mile Drive is an enchanting seaside loop on the Monterey Peninsula.

A lonely cypress perched atop a rock marks the iconic landmark of Pebble Beach, elephant seals flock to the sandy cove at Fanshell Overlook during their annual mating season from April to June, and waves crash against Point Joe's rocky shoreline. Charming coastal vistas are plenty on the drive, but the sweeping panoramas of Monterey Bay from the grassy knoll of Lover's Point remain unparalleled.
