Environmental specialist role in Amrut 2.0

 Urban Rejuvenation Strategy: Designed and implemented sustainable strategies to enhance green infrastructure and
urban environmental resilience.
 Environmental Assessments: Conducted Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) and Initial Environmental
Examinations (IEE) to ensure regulatory compliance and sustainable project execution.
 Environmental Management Planning: Formulated Environmental Management and Monitoring Programs (EMMP) for
comprehensive project oversight.
 Stakeholder Collaboration: Partnered with urban planners, architects, and government authorities to integrate eco-
friendly designs into urban development projects. Promoted sustainable practices such as rainwater harvesting and
energy efficiency.
 Biodiversity Initiatives: Led restoration efforts for parks, tree plantations, and community gardens, boosting urban
biodiversity.
 Community Outreach: Organized public awareness campaigns and workshops to promote environmental conservation
and sustainability
 Monitoring and Reporting: Assessed the effectiveness of environmental initiatives and compiled detailed progress
reports for stakeholders.
 Sustainability Expertise: Provided expertise on sustainable waste management, water conservation, and energy
efficiency in urban and healthcare projects.
 Public Engagement: Developed communication strategies for sustainability awareness and managed grievance
redressal mechanisms to address community concerns effectively.
 Subproject Appraisal: Conducted environmental appraisals for subprojects across Chhattisgarh as part of DPR
(Detailed Project Report) preparation, ensuring adherence to environmental safeguards and best practices.
 Field Inspections: Visited project sites across Chhattisgarh to evaluate ongoing activities and prepare environmental
appraisal reports, contributing to the AMRUT 2.0 initiative.
