Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary

Il Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary, anche noto come Palpur-Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary (tra le latitudini 25°30'- 25°53'N e le longitudini 77°07'-77°26'E), si trova nel Distretto di Sheopur, nella parte nordoccidentale dello stato di Madhya Pradesh, nella zona centrale dell'India. Il suo nome deriva dal fiume Kuno. Si trova a circa 120 km da Gwalior. L'area, che occupava inizialmente solo 344,686 chilometri quadrati, è stata trasformata in un santuario per animali selvatici nel 1981. Da allora è stata ingrandita fino a divenire Kuno Wildlife Division grazie ad ulteriori 413 chilometri quadrati nel 1998 e successivamente altri 900 chilometri quadrati che fanno da cuscinetto intorno al santuario. Il parco accoglie numerose specie di animali tra le quali lupi, scimmie, leopardi indiani ed antilopi azzurre. Sembra che lo abitino anche alcuni esemplari di tigre del Bengala.

Дар уль-Улюм Деобанд

Дар уль-Улюм Деобанд (хинди दारुल उलूम देवबन्द, урду دارالعلوم دیوبند‎, «Обитель знания») — один из крупнейших религиозных и академических центров исламского мира, место зарождения движения деобанди. В Индостане это крупнейшее учреждение по распространению и продвижению ислама и самый большой образовательный центр в области исламских наук. Среди сотен тысяч религиозных образовательных учреждений в исламском мире сегодня имеются только два заведения, которым мусульмане доверяли больше всего: одно из них — Аль-Азхар в Каире, а другое — Дар уль-Улюм в Деобанде. Основание 30 мая 1866 года, в деревне Девабанд (Деобанд) в северной части Индии, которая в те времена всё ещё являлась британской колонией, был заложен первый камень в основание исламского университета. Становление «Дар уль-Улюм», как религиозного центра происходило на фоне тяжелой ситуации, в которой оказались индийские мусульмане во второй половине XIX века. После неудачного восстания сипаев в 1857—1859 годах власть в стране перешла к английскому правительству. Таким образом, для объединения раздробленного мусульманского общества появилась потребность в бесплатных и постоянных учебных заведениях. Во-вторых, учителя медресе начали использовать новые способы преподавания на основе достижений западных технологий — руководство медресе получило доступ к печатным станкам, почтовым отделениям, железнодорожному транспорту и т. д. Основатели школы с самого начала предполагали, что финансирование Деобанда должно производиться, по большому счёту, за счёт частных пожертвований, и это позволило медресе «Дар уль-улюм» давать не только бесплатное образование, но и стать в определённой мере независимым от правящего режима. В этой связи интересно, что когда индийские власти уже в середине 90-х годов XX века прекратили выдавать визы иностранным студентам для учёбы в Деобанде, туда, несмотря ни на что, поступило три тысячи студентов из разных стран. Школа, в которой никогда не было абсолютно никаких различий между богатыми и бедными, развивалась настолько успешно, что к концу XIX века «Дар уль-улюм» насчитывал уже более 15 тысяч медресе разбросанных по всему миру: Британской Индии (включая территорию современного Пакистана), ЮАР, Великобритания и т. д. В одном только Пакистане в 2001 году таких медресе было примерно 4 тысячи. К 2001 году «Дар уль-улюм» закончили 65 тысяч мусульманских студентов из большинства азиатских стран, которые затем преподавали в тысячах медресе в Пакистане и Афганистане. В деобандском духовном центре одновременно обучаются почти 3500 человек. Ежегодно из 10 тысяч желающих поступить 800 кандидатам удаётся пройти конкурс. Однако влияние деобандской школы не ограничивается только этим регионом и только этими цифрами. Сегодня понятие «Деобанд» уже охватывает, помимо этой обители, целую россыпь связанных с ней медресе в Индии, Пакистане, Бангладеш, Афганистане и других странах Азии, Африки, а также Америки и Европы. По последним данным, около 600 из 1400 британских медресе возглавляют лица, принадлежащие к деобандской школе. См. также Медресе Хатхазари Примечания Ссылки Официальный сайт Дар Уль-Улюм

ГЕС Махешвар

ГЕС Махешвар – гідроелектростанція, що споруджується на заході Індії у штаті Мадх’я-Прадеш. Знаходячись між ГЕС Омкарешвар (вище по течії) та ГЕС Сардар-Саровар, входить до складу каскаду на річці Нармада, яка тече у широтному напрямку між горами Віндх’я на півночі і Сатпура на півдні та впадає у Камбейську затоку Аравійського моря (можливо відзначити, що в сукупності регіон Віндх’я/Нармада/Сатпура відділяє Індо-Гангську рівнину від плоскогір’я Декану). В межах проекту річку перекрили комбінованою греблею висотою 36 метрів та загальною довжиною 3123 метри, яка включає центральну бетонну ділянку (27 водопропускних шлюзів у руслі Нармади та правобережний машинний зал) і ліво- та правобережні земляні частини довжиною 1573 та 464 метри відповідно. Зведення цієї споруди потребувало 908 тис м3 бетону та 529 тис м3 ґрунту. Вона утримуватиме водосховище з об’ємом 483 млн м3 (корисний об’єм лише 28 млн м3), в якому буде припустиме коливання рівня поверхні в операційному режимі між позначками 162,2 та 162,8 метра НРМ. Машинний зал планується обладнати десятьма турбінами типу Каплан потужністю по 40 МВт, які працюватимуть при напорі у 22 метри. Право на спорудження ГЕС Махешвар, яка повинна була стати першим індійським приватним гідроенергетичним проектом, отримав у 1994-му текстильний магнат С.Кумар, котрий разом з рядом іноземних інвесторів діяв через компанію Shree Maheshwar Hydel Power Corp. Втім, ще до початку будівництва в 1998-2000 роках цілий ряд іноземних інвесторів (німецькі Siemens, Bayernwerk та VEW Energie, американські Pacgen та Ogden Corporation) відмовились від участі в проекті, котрий стрівся з кампанією протестів (передбачалось відселити 35 тисяч осіб, котрі висловлювали невдоволення запропонованою компенсацією). Починаючи з фактичного старту будівництва у 2001/2002 фінансовому році та до кінця десятиліття змогли завершити майже всі основні споруди (включаючи водопропускні шлюзи, котрі відіграють критично важливу роль під час сезону дощів) та провести перші пускові тести на одному з гідроагрегатів. Ще по два гідроагрегати перебували в готовності до пускових випробувань та на етапі монтажу. Після цього осінню 2011-го роботи припинились через фінансові проблеми власника. Крім того, виникла суперечка з урядом штату, який в 1994-му зобов’язався протягом 35 років викуповувати продукцію ГЕС за гарантованою ціною, котра станом на 2013-й була б вчетверо вищою за наявну пропозицію з інших джерел. Наразі перспективи завершення будівництва залишаються невизначеними. Примітки
