Padmanabhapuram Palace in draft list of of UNESCO world heritage sites.

The Padmanabhapuram Palace

The Padmanabhapuram Palace at Thakkala has been included in the draft list of UNESCO world heritage sites.

Cultural Affairs Minister K.C. Joseph said here on Wednesday that the notification about the draft list had been received by the government.

The decision to include the palace in the draft list was taken by the advisory committee on world heritage sites which met in New Delhi on April 15. Mr. Joseph said the committee had promised to consider the Edakkal caves in Wayanad for inclusion in the next list of world heritage sites.

The Minister said the government had submitted an application along with a report to the committee seeking inclusion of the Padmanabhapuram Palace and Edakkal caves in the list of global heritage sites. Predominantly made of wood, the 500-year-old palace is constructed in the Kerala style of architecture. The Edakkal caves are known for the prehistoric rock etchings.

A pressnote quoting the Minister said Kerala had submitted research papers to substantiate the nomination of the two monuments to UNESCO’s world heritage list. Archaeologist Elizabeth Thomas had been appointed special officer in charge of coordinating activities for the nomination, it said.

Dating back to the Travancore era, the Padmanabhapuram palace is located in Tamil Nadu but administered by the Government of Kerala.

The palace complex has several structures, including a council chamber, queen mother’s palace, performance hall, central mansion and southern palace.

It hosts ancient Chinese jars, ancient weapons of war, antique furniture, metal mirrors, a gallery of paintings, and wood and stone sculptures.

March 22 – World Water Day 2014: Water and Energy

Water and energy are closely interlinked and interdependent. Energy generation and transmission requires utilization of water resources, particularly for hydroelectric, nuclear, and thermal energy sources. Conversely, about 8% of the global energy generation is used for pumping, treating and transporting water to various consumers.

In 2014, the UN System - working closely with its Member States and other relevant stakeholders - is collectively bringing its attention to the water-energy nexus, particularly addressing inequities, especially for the 'bottom billion' who live in slums and impoverished rural areas and survive without access to safe drinking water, adequate sanitation, sufficient food and energy services.It also aims to facilitate the development of policies and crosscutting frameworks that bridge ministries and sectors, leading the way to energy security and sustainable water use in a green economy. Particular attention will be paid to identifying best practices that can make a water - and energy-efficient 'Green Industry' a reality.

Objectives of World Water Day in 2014

• Raise awareness of the inter-linkages between water and energy
• Contribute to a policy dialogue that focuses on the broad range of issues related to the nexus of water and energy
• Demonstrate, through case studies, to decision makers in the energy sector and the water domain that integrated approaches and solutions to water-energy issues can achieve greater economic and social impacts
• Identify policy formulation and capacity development issues in which the UN system, in particular UN-Water and UN-Energy, can offer significant contributions
• Identify key stakeholders in the water-energy nexus and actively engaging them in further developing the water-energy linkages
• Contribute as relevant to the post-2015 discussions in relation to the water-energy nexus.

Happy Republic Day
