Fisheries sector employs 38 million people , especially marine fisheries who are sensitive to the natural hazards like cyclone or rough sea conditions. 370 million Indians residing over 8118 kms of coastline are exposed to 10% of the world's tropical cyclones. During 1891 to 2000, 308 cyclones hit the Indian West coast, leading to loss of lives and livelihood and damaging the public infrastructure; resetting the development pace, repeatedly. Technological advancements like Remote Sensing, Data Analytics and weather models have improved the accuracy of prediction of the natural hazards. Communication technologies such as mobile phones are spreading too and have become affordable. Hence, such revolution in Information generation and Communication technology has increased the hope of identifying the hazards in advance, their impact region (exposure) and the people / property vulnerability towards it. mKRISHI® Fisheries used the Wind and Wave information generated by INCOIS and using the service design concept, simplified the delivery of information to local language on mobile phones. Such communication helped fishers, their family and other stakeholders to identify the risk zones, their occurrence date and time and accordingly responded to it or re-planned their journey. This data driven planning is helping the fishers reduce the risk exposure and hence saving the lives of many fishers. We also experimented with the extension of mobile signal in the deep sea, to create a digital information highway upto 30km from the coast. This paper captures the experience, methodology followed, learning and set of recommendations, which can help develop a strategy for Early Warning System (EWS) to improve safety at sea and coastal regions.","PeriodicalId":104725,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129435142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Environmental stewardship, conscious and responsible consumption of natural resources required for day-to-day operations, is integral to this agenda. In this paper, we illustrate how a multinational enterprise has made significant strides in monitoring, conserving and improving materially relevant resources including energy, emissions, water, and waste through innovative use of various technologies. A campus that is fully powered by solar energy, reduction in per capita energy and fresh water consumption by 49.69% and 41.14% respectively over the baseline, carbon footprint reduction by 59% across scope of 1 and 2 emissions, and 100% food waste treatment are some of the important milestones it has achieved in accordance with the sustainability policy drawn along the lines of sustainable development goals (SDGs) announced by United Nations. We discuss the crucial role of technology in defining the sustainability agenda, enabling the achievement of audacious goals, and institutionalizing sustainable practices and lifestyles in this organization. We conclude by proposing new frontiers of technological innovation for sustainable development of enterprises.","PeriodicalId":104725,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117125638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Out of 2.68 crore disabled persons in India, 20% have movement disability, followed by persons with seeing and hearing disability, at 19% each. Majority of the disabled population i.e. 63.66% either do not work due to their dependency on others or are not skilled enough to do the work. Only 54.5% are literates, of which only 8.5% had attained graduates or higher levels of education. Lack of the required resources or infrastructure akin to their need, is also a key challenge. Government has launched slew of social security schemes to provide opportunities to People with Disabilities (PwDs), but challenge lies with accessing these benefits. This is especially difficult for the 69% of disabled persons from rural. Spread of mobile phone based digital technology and services have brought more transparency and awareness. Social collaboration applications like facebook, What'sApp have become popular due to forming a close group of the people with similar disability and sharing the information about new schemes and success stories. A few disabled farmers from MP are using local language mobile app mKRISHI® CCA to manage their farms. This case study depicts how a family based collaborative approach with some training can enable a, disabled person to play a constructive role in the farming. This paper highlights the service design aspects and the delivery mechanism to achieve the same.","PeriodicalId":104725,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133213224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
