 The beginning of civilization led to development around river banks. Things could be managed during those days as people lived in harmony with nature. The scenario changed with industrialization which started creating havoc at the end of 19th century when the industrial revolution took the world of the consumer by leaps and bounds, which led to the concentration of population packets in and around the industrial areas. This rapid change in the development brought forth many challenges before the planning authorities especially the provision of basic amenities and hygienic place of living. The biggest challenge before the administration was and is to manage the waste generated by this large population. The solid waste generation has become a continuous global problem at all levels throughout the world. [1]

Knowledge management implementation in Indian automobile ancillary industries

Purpose In the past decade, much has been written about knowledge management (KM) in the manufacturing; however, less attention has been paid to the Indian automobile ancillary industries located in Chinchwad, Pune. It is suitable to find out the relationship of the factors of the study. It helps in identifying the hierarchy of factors to be taken, and interlinking of production department with KM improves the productivity of the industries. Categorization of these principles based on their driving power (principles which hold other principles) and dependence (principles which are dependent on other principles) has also been examined for KM implementation to study the driving power and dependence power of these principles. This paper aims to determine the roadmap of KM implementation and categorize KM principles based on their driving power for manufacturing industries with the use of the interpretive structural modeling (ISM)-based model. The results indicate that the principles possessing higher driving power, such as KM, inventory control, quality control, productivity and scheduling and their interlinking. The major contribution of this research lies in the development of contextual relationship among various identified factors of KM and determination of their driving and dependence power through a single systemic framework. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, author find out the suitability ISM for Indian Automobile industries to find the relation among the variables. Findings ISM model has been developed for the hierarchy of the identified KM. As ISM model results a hypothetical hierarchy which needs a proper quantitative analysis to evaluate their percentage effectiveness in the hierarchy. Research limitations/implications It is applied to automobile industries with limited number of variables that will show the dependence variable and driving variables and their interrelations. It can be applied other fields to fine the relationship of variables. Practical implications The ISM may be used in supply chain management and total quality management to find interlinking between the variables. Originality/value The limited data collected from Pimpri Chinchwad industrial area of Pune from Maharashtra state (India).

Appraising Spatio-Temporal Shifting of Urban Growth Center of Pimpri-Chinchwad Industrialized City, India Using Shannon Entropy Method

Uncontrolled urban development of Pimpri Chinchwad area was assessed to understand shifting of urban growth center and its controlling factors during last forty years. Out of forty, initial 20 years span (1973 to 1993) is compared to subsequent 20 years (1993 to 2013). The secondary data i.e. topographic maps (year 1970 and 2009) and satellite image MSS, LISS III (year 1973 and 1993) and LISS IV image (year 2013) were used for preparation of land use land cover maps. Furthermore, Shannon entropy computed by built-up land class, was showing the entropy 0.81, 0.92 and 0.97 for year 1973, 1993 and 2013 respectively, hence the steady growth during past forty years. However, growth centers of urban development shifts from automobile industries at Pimpri (central part) to information technology (IT) industries towards Hinjewadi (western part) area. This shift was determined from the demographic alteration in study area. To understand demographic alteration, the spatial results were verified through ground truth survey reveals population growth is in the form of vertical growth such as increase in multi storey buildings instead of single storey housing. This study highlights the shifting of urban growth centers in developing countries such as India from automobile to IT industries. The shifting of growth center was resulted into impact on existing public services (drinking water, sanitation, waste management, roads, hospitals etc.). In conclusion, present study warrants the attentions towards shifting of urban growth center from such rapidly growing industrial city of the developing countries while deciding future urban planning.

Fuzzy Sludge Quality Index on the Basis of Fertilizer Potential After Primary Clarifier

The sludge is generated from the two treatment units of Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) like primary and secondary clarifier. In the activated sludge process, the sludge produced after secondary clarifier can be recycled and wasted sludge can be used as fertilizer after sludge treatment. The chemical sludge produced from primary clarifier is not suitable to be used as fertilizer because of the use of chemical coagulants for coagulation process. As considering this problem, a pilot plant study was done using natural coagulants to produce pure bio sludge. A methodology is also developed for ranking of different STPs on the basis of fertilizer potential of sludge from primary clarifier by developing Fuzzy Sludge Quality Index (SQI). A case study of three STPs which are located in Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation, Pimpri, Pune, Maharashtra, India is also incorporated in this study.

Tuberculosis case notification by private practitioners in Pune, India: how well are we doing?

Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation area, Pune, India. To assess the proportion of private practitioners (PPs) who notified tuberculosis (TB) patients during February-April 2013 and their contribution to the overall number notified, and to determine their perceived challenges in reporting TB cases. Mixed-method study including an analysis of notification data, followed by in-depth interviews with PPs. Interviews were transcribed and inductive content analysis was performed to derive themes. Of 831 PPs, 533 (64%) participated in case notification; of these 87 (16%) notified at least one TB case during the study period. In all, 138 TB cases were notified by PPs, accounting for 20% of the total TB cases notified. Emerging themes among perceived challenges and barriers were lack of complete knowledge about TB notification, fear of a breach of patient confidentiality, lack of a simplified operational mechanism of notification, and lack of trust and coordination with the government health system. About two thirds of PPs participated in case notification and contributed significantly to the overall TB cases notified. India's national TB programme should focus on training PPs and targeted media communication campaigns, and establish alternative mechanisms for notification, such as the internet and mobile telephones, to overcome perceived barriers.

Water is basic need of human being. Water treatment is one of the important process involved in the water distribution process. In PCMC area the water distribution infrastructure is widely spreaded effectively. Water management is a matter of high priority in India and those responsible for major operations of water distribution need to be educated in this endeavor. Automation provides optimized solution to all problems of distribution of water system. The entire system has features of SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system to control and monitor the water supply and in case of power failures to maintain continuity of power supply. Now-a-days, Water distribution system faces some problems like water leakage & improper water supply. This leakage causes drastic reduction in pressure of water flowing through supply line. Due to this, consumer gets less amount of water. By, considering above scenario we are trying to find solution for the problem. Hence, we are working with Water Supply Department of Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation. The main aim of this project is to provide effective water supply to each consumer & to detect the leakage sites and malpractices. In this project we are working on the distributed network under the area of single water tank. Mainly we are focusing on the pressure transmitter which are located at different branches in distribution network to indicate pressure variation at different location. Thus, we are going to develop a system in which we can analyze the pressure from different branches of distribution network and compare it with fixed benchmark. In this way, we are able to control& monitor the whole system.

Prevalence of occupational contact dermatitis, knowledge and adaption of preventive measures by chemical industries workers of Pune: An observational study

Objective: To study the prevalence of occupational contact dermatitis (OCD), knowledge and adaption of preventive measures by chemical industries workers in Pimpri Chinchwad, Pune. Materials and methods: Across sectional study was conducted from August 2010 to July 2011 on five hundred randomly selected participants from varnish, cement, nickel salt and oil paint industries. A semi-structured interview questionnaire was used to record details regarding socio-demographic data, knowledge and preventive measures adapted towards occupational hazards. Nordic occupational skin questionnaire and Occupational Contact Dermatitis Disease Severity Index (ODDI) were used to record the data related to the disease. Results: Overall prevalence of OCD was 5.20% (n=26/500).The prevalence in varnish, oil paint, nickel salt and cement exposed workers was 9.82% (n=11/112), 6.42%(n=7/109), 3.72%(n=6/161) and 1.69%(n=2/118) respectively. The ODDI mean(SD) score of severity index was 4.2(1.44). The prevalence regarding poor, average and good knowledge of occupational hazards was 7.22%(n=12/166), 4.24%(n=12/283) and 3.92%(n=2/51) respectively. The prevalence regarding not at all, irregularly and regularly adapting preventive measures was 11.11%(n=13/117), 4.67% (n=10/214) and 1.78% (n= 3/169)respectively. Conclusion:The workers involved in varnish chemical industry are more susceptible to OCD than workers involved in nickel salt, cement, and oil paint industries. This study clearly indicates that knowledge regarding the occupational hazards and adaption of preventive measures are prerequisite to lower the prevalence of OCD in chemical industries workers as prevalence was higher in poor knowledge workers and workers who had not adapted any preventive measures.

An epidemiological and clinico-histopathological study of leprosy in semi-urban area under Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation in Pune district of Maharashtra

Background: Despite having been declared eliminated in December 2005 from India as a public health problem, the prevalence of leprosy exceeds 1/10,000 population in certain districts/states of India. A spurt in its prevalence by 60% - from 0.74 to 1.18 within 1-year from 2012 to 2013 in the area under Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) of Pune district of Maharashtra, wherein our institution is located, motivated us to carry out this study. Aims and Objectives: This prospective study entailed recording of the epidemiological data of cases of leprosy and carrying out correlation of their clinical and histopathological diagnoses as per Ridley–Jopling scale along with inclusion of indeterminate and pure neuritic types. Materials and Methods: Eighty fresh untreated patients hailing from areas under PCMC–in whom leprosy was clinically considered to be either the diagnosis or the differential diagnosis-reporting to the department of dermatology of our tertiary care hospital were enrolled. Their age, sex, and clinical findings were recorded on a proforma. Slit skin and scrape smear were stained by the Ziehl–Neelsen method. Punch biopsies–processed and stained by hematoxylin and eosin and Fite-Faraco method for morphological assessment and identification of the lepra bacilli, respectively–were evaluated histopathologically and a clinico-histopathological correlation, attempted. Results: Male to female ratio of the study patients was 2.3:1; their age ranged from 14 to 74 (mean, 36.67) years. The overall clinico-histopathological concordance observed was 70%. Five cases of indeterminate leprosy (IL) emerged on histopathological examination from among the nine skin biopsies on patients of dermatoses mimicking leprosy (pityriasis alba, postinflammatory hypopigmentation, nevus depigmentosus, etc.). Conclusion: This study enabled us to detect additional cases of IL (from among dermatoses mimicking leprosy) and led to more accurate typing, thereby underscoring the importance of clinico-histopathological correlation as an important diagnostic aid.
