The Director of Environment summarized the proceedings of
the meeting and thanked the working groups for their efforts
during the workshop. For addressing the requests of certain
Working Groups for inclusion of additional members for
contributing to the sector papers, it was suggested that the
Working Group in need of data/information from other
Departments may inform the DOE and meeting will then be
arranged with the concerned Departments for discussions as
well as obtaining the required data.
The Principal Secretary to Government of Tamil Nadu thanked
the GIZ and ICSD team and all the members for their full
involvement throughout the day in finalizing the frame work
on the preparation of SAPCC. He informed the group that the
outcome of this exercise was imperative for deciding a time
line on the subject and was very important for the meeting
convened by the Chief Secretary to Government on the above
subject on 16th July 2012. It was also suggested to form an
e-mail group including Principal Secretary for effective
communication and sharing of information between the
different sectoral working groups. He reiterated that for
understanding the overall framework, the Working Groups can
look into the SAPCC of West Bengal which is available in the
website of the Ministry of Environment and Forests (http://moef.nic.in/)
and to prepare a very good document for Tamil Nadu.
