“…Source: Choguill (1996, p. 442) In the globalisation era, decentralisation and neoliberalisation are two sides of the same global restructuring process and are usually simultaneously launched in urban governance. While neoliberalisation heralds policies towards market-oriented economic growth, decentralisation or participatory governance purports to offer opportunities to those without exchange entitlements to participate in decision-making processes in urban governance and thereby seek rights to improve their well-being (Purcell 2003;Goodwin and Painter 1996;Patel et al 2016a). Hence new spaces and opportunities have emerged for citizen engagement in policy formation.…”

The Indian political party Aam Aadmi, which assumed power in the city-state of Delhi in 2015, introduced Mohalla Clinics (i.e. neighbourhood clinics) to provide free primary health services for all, as a response to the rising inaccessibility of primary healthcare facilities for the urban poor. These clinics were to be governed through Mohalla Sabhas (i.e. neighbourhood committees), which are instruments of participatory governance within the neighbourhood. The research compares promises and practice for Mohalla Clinics, especially focusing on governance and the politics surrounding it. The authors find that in their current form Mohalla Clinics are limited to providing primary curative healthcare and have shown limited success, although Mohalla Clinic users do save time and expenditure on primary healthcare, and the clinics have led to a more comprehensive form of primary healthcare than in the past. However, Mohalla Clinics are governed in a top-down fashion by the Government of the National Capital Territory-Delhi, and not by urban local bodies or the envisaged neighbourhood committees. As a result, they face problems that may inhibit their functioning in the long term.

Text ile dyes have been used since the Bronze Age. They also constitute a prototype 21 st -century speciality chemicals market. Effluent and soil samp les were collected fro m textile industry at Surat. The pH, temperature, BOD, COD, Nitrate and Nitrite values were co mpared with the values given by the Bureau of Indian Standards. The culture med iu m was designed and standardized in the laboratory for the isolation and degradation of the dyes. Pure cultures were screened on the basis of colony morphology. Three different types of unique cultures were selected and named as isolates S1, S2 & S3. Out of 12 dyes used, isolate S1 showed degradation on the maximu m nu mber of dyes (five) in co mparison to other isolates (isolates S2 and S3). Thus, isolate S1 was used for the further studies. The isolate S1 was used for the study of the amount of dye to be degraded. For this study Red BB dye was chosen. Because, isolate S1 showed maximu m degradation on Red BB dye within less time of incubation in comparison with other dyes. Almost all isolates showed the positive results in some of the biochemical tests. Thus most of the isolates can have the capacity to produce the enzyme tryptophanase, indole production, citrate permease (citrate as carbon and energy source), catalase enzy me, degradation of glucose oxidatively as well as fermentatively, urease, gelatinase, production of acid and gas (allo w to ferment lactose and/or sucrose) and fermentation of sugar, lactose, sucrose, mannitol and glucose. Total cellu lar fatty acids profiling has been considered to be one of the important and ideal tool for identification of microorganis ms. On the basis of fatty acid pro filing of isolate S1 the similarity index indicated as Bacillus cereus GC subgroup A (similarity index 0.825), B. thuringiensis sub sp. israelensis (similarity index 0.552) and for B. thuringiensis sub sp. Kurstakii (similarity index 0.511). The isolate S1 was assumed to be B. cereus GC subgroup A. Thus this isolates can be used to degrade harmful azo dyes utilized by the dye, text ile, paper, in k industries etc.

Ahmedabad is India's seventh largest city, and host to a cluster of some prominent academic and industrial institutions. From its establishment in 1411, its sultans pioneered a legacy of fine architecture in mosques, temples, and traditional neighborhoods. That trend today is exemplified in modernist buildings by Louis Kahn, Le Corbusier, and Charles Correa among others. In the mid‐twentieth century it was a thriving industrial town, but in the fast urbanizing trend of the twenty‐first century it faced an unprecedented challenge with the decline of its textile mills. The fortunes of these mill workers, whose subsequent unemployment turned them into informal workers, became less closely linked to the financial upswing following economic liberalization, which disproportionately benefited the elites. In keeping with the growing disparity, public investment in urban infrastructure and in beautification projects became more salient and politically profitable. This also caused public and private institutional goals to blur at the boundaries, and governance to shift away from visible and transparent institutions, which were accountable to ordinary citizens, to more joint arrangements between private for‐profit institutions and governmental bodies, which were less transparent in their operations. These new institutional forms, for example those in the Sabarmati Riverfront Development Project and the GIFT City, have become instruments of public decision, exerting control over Ahmedabad's budgets, and therefore manifestations of elite capture of public resources.
