Financial Summary
TERI also expanded and consolidated various other initiatives that involve scaling
up of innovations, such as its major campaign on Lighting a Billion Lives.
In this activity TERI expanded its methodology and experience of a solar charging
station in every village, which is not connected to the grid, by providing each
village with clean and reliable lighting.
Director-Generals Message
clean and reliable lighting. But it diversified its solutions by actually venturing into
the establishment of micro grids using photovoltaic technology as well. Lighting a
Billion Lives had not only covered over 2,000 villages in India, by the end of the year
under review and some other countries, but had also trained an equal number of
entrepreneurs, mainly women, to undertake this activity in each village by using a
solar panel on the entrepreneurs rooftop for charging TERI-designed solar lanterns
during the day and renting them out at night to homes in that particular village. The
TERI-initiated solar micro grids also involves an entrepreneur who essentially invests
in the creation of the grid connecting a limited number of households in a village and
providing power for which payment is received from each household, such that clean,
reliable, LED-based lighting is made possible in the homes thus connected, and a small
amount of power also made available that is sufficient to run a blower in an improved
cookstove with forced draught.
TERIs research activities continued to focus not only on cutting edge scientific
research to permit innovations directed at a range of technologies involving the
2
advancement. Not only have a large number of buildings been subjected to rating
using the GRIHA system, but a number of government bodies right down to local
municipalities have adopted this system, even providing a set of incentives from their
own budgetary resources for those buildings which attained a certain level of efficiency
as certified by GRIHA.
TERI has had a significant record of assisting industrial units in auditing of energy
use and the use of critical resources such as water. The experience generated in this
sector was expanded during the year to focus essentially on small and medium
enterprises (SMEs). This sector in India not only employs a large number of people, but
is also a significant contributor to the countrys economic output. Yet, the efficiency
of use of energy and other resources in SMEs requires substantial improvement. It
is for this reason that an institution like TERI, whose sole purpose is to bring about
improvements, in the use of resources deployed to advance human activities, becomes
crucial. TERI now has a number of clusters of SMEs where, in partnership with other
organizations, the Institute is working with industrial units to bring about a significant
improvement in the efficiency of use of energy, water, and other resources. Learning

and in the most economically efficient manner. In the work TERI has been carrying
out in this field the crucial aspects of ethics, equity, and the principle of Common but
Differentiated Responsibility have been kept fully in focus, and TERIs efforts advanced
to support the application of these considerations in global negotiations under the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). TERI has also
focused increasingly on the issue of energy security, which for a country like India is
becoming increasingly important with growing imports of petroleum and coal.
In all these areas and particularly in the pursuit of objectives of sustainable
development, education and awareness creation are essential foundations for change
in the right direction. There is no better stage to mount educational efforts and
awareness creation than at the level of schools and for the explicit benefit of school
children. It is for this reason that TERIs activities targeting environmental education and
an understanding of sustainable development practices has been expanded to schools
across the country. This is an area of work in which TERI would certainly expand its
reach globally as well.
The TERI University, established through the initiative of TERI as an entity recognized
by the University Grants Commission as a Deemed to be University, received A Grade
through the scrutiny and assessment carried out by the National Assessment and
Accreditation Council (NAAC). The teaching and research activities of TERI University
have expanded considerably in scope and depth during the year, and so has the
introduction of new and innovative teaching programmes.
Overall, the year 2013-14 has been a period of consolidation and expansion,
and an opportunity wherein foundations were laid for major expansion of TERIs
activities to different parts of the country as well as overseas. The Institutes activities
in Africa were expanded, with the establishment of a presence in Addis Ababa and

nearly 1, 00,000 plus people across Africa and Asia.
Social Transformation
s the action research arm at TERI, the Social Transformation (ST) Division
implements interventions at grass-roots level. The best practices and
challenges from these interventions are translated into knowledge
for the policy-makers and other key stakeholders. From conceptualizing
to commissioning development interventions, sustainability is the key
mantra of the Division. Hence, best practices such as institution building
and participatory design are inherent components of its activities. Over the
years, the Division has built expertise in areas including Integrated Rural
Development, Watershed Development, Natural Resources Management,
Corporate Social Responsibility and Energy Access. Going beyond
conventional approaches, ST integrates livelihood and gender aspects in its
implementation and holds unique expertise in binding individual components
of a development project into shared services. Implementing TERIs flagship
programme, Lighting a Billion Lives (LaBL), ST has years of rich experience in
executing and managing large-scale programmes. .
During the year, TERI has been successful in signing an agreement with the
African Centre for Technology Studies (ACTS), Kenya and with the Horn of Africa
Regional Environment Centre and Networks (HoAREC&N), Ethiopia to promote
wider dissemination of improved lights and cookstoves to the energy poor. In

linking these regional climate projections to various Impact Assessment
Models such as ADCIRC (for storm surge and coastal circulation), SWAT (for
water resources), DSSAT (for agriculture), IBIS (for forestry), DIVA (for coastal
zones). It has a 5 TFLOP high performance computing architecture which
helps in performing these model simulations.
The work on impacts and vulnerability assessment focuses on key
sectors such as water, agriculture, and health through engagement with
multi-stakeholders including policy-makers as well as local communities.
The research also emphasizes on various aspects of adaptation such as
identification, prioritization, monitoring, and evaluation and capacitybuilding for policy-makers and other stakeholders on different issues. The
group also works on policy analysis and recommendations on climate
change and sustainable development at national and international level,
including analysis and innovation for global climate policy negotiations from
developing country perspective on mitigation, adaptation, technology and
finance; analysis, recommendation and consultancy on market mechanisms,
including CDM and emerging new market mechanism; generation and
analysis of data on GHG emissions, including carbon foot-printing; focused
analysis, innovation and consultancy on negotiating, designing and
implementing Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs);
focused analysis and innovation on climate finance at national and
international level.
The Division also gives importance to ecosystems and its services by
focusing on emerging issues related to climate change and forests, as well
as issues of long-standing interest, such as participatory natural resource
management, natural resource economics, productivity enhancement, and
biodiversity conservation and management. It has been regularly carrying
out capacity-building programmes for different stakeholders on different
subjects like air quality modelling, indoor air quality measurements, biostatistics, etc. Recently, the Division has started extending its research and
capacity-building activities to other developing countries and emerging
economies, including a major e-learning programme on the science and
policy of climate change.
A strong research-based collaborative programme is already in place for
Africa. A number of international collaborations with institutions of global
repute have ensured that there is exchange of knowledge and expertise and
strengthening of the core competencies within the Division.
t has been proved time and again that youth form the backbone of a
nations well-being. The Educating Youth for Sustainable Development
(EYSD) Division works diligently to enable youth to comprehend the
importance of the environment and makes concerted efforts to conserve it. It
firmly believes that governments, civil society organizations, and individuals
have to work in solidarity for the protection of nature. Besides the youth, it
works with school teachers, policy-makers, and NGOs.
The Division is also involved in developing content on Education for
Sustainable Development, in publishing books, newsletters, workbooks,
manuals, films, and other IEC materials.
Various projects undertaken by the Division stand testimony to their reach
and influence, like the GREEN Olympiad and TERRAQUIZ, which paves a way to
encourage school students to learn and quiz more about the environment.

Water
India is one of the water stressed nations with its
continuously declining per capita water availability from
about 5,177 m3 in 1951 to 1,654 m3 in 2007. Water demand
in India is expected to grow annually by 2.8 per cent to
reach 1,500 bcm (by 2030) while the current supply is
only about half (viz., 744 bcm). This grave situation calls
for the need of integrated water resources management
and TERI is one of the leading institutes to take forward
integrated water resources management strategies
through its various projects.
n the year 201314, the major focal area for TERI was
Carbon Forestry and Biomass Estimation where TERI
undertook a detailed study of Clean Development
Mechanism project assisting the state forest department
of Uttar Pradesh. TERI is currently engaged in preparing
impact evaluation design for REDD+ projects in India
and Nepal. Other carbon forestry projects are ongoing at
Angul forest division in Odisha and at Chemfab alkalies
limited in Puducherry. Also a biomass survey assessment
was conducted in six districts of India with University of
Eastern Finland in the year 2013.
Another thrust area for TERI is Biodiversity and
Conservation, where a variety of national and international
projects like Assessment of Community Conserved Areas
in Nagaland, Feasibility Study for Biodiversity Centre
at the University of Guyana, and biodiversity mapping
of protected areas of Uttar Pradesh were planned and
executed. In addition, TERI is also involved in monitoring
and evaluation of projects and is doing consultancy
for impact assessment of Mid Himalayan Watershed

Agriculture
Agriculture holds the key to the overall development
of a countrys economy. Almost 80 per cent of the rural
poor in India are engaged in agricultural activities, and
make a sizeable contribution of more than one-fourth
to the countrys Gross Domestic Product (GDP). There
is a dire need to adopt an integrated approach to rural
development that is holistic and multi-sectoral, focused
on improving the well-being of rural people by building
their productive, social, and environmental assets.

Environment
TERI, over the past, has worked on assessing and improving the environmental quality in many regions. While efforts
have been made to assess and report the status of environmental quality, several initiatives were undertaken in 2013
14 to mitigate pollution and sensitize the stakeholders. All this has yielded considerable benefits and in certain cases,
has significantly helped policy formation.
TERI, in alliance with the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), has commenced work
on Green Growth and Development in India, with an aim to scrutinize strategies to
be pursued at the national and state (Punjab and Himachal Pradesh) levels.
Energy
Energy consumption, in all its forms, has been steadily increasing over time since it is the basic requirement for
most processes, whether domestic or industrial. Considerable pressure is now being felt particularly on the already
diminishing fossil fuel reserves of the planet. These sources of energy also contribute significantly to climate change
which is becoming a major cause for concern, thus necessitating an enhancement of the share of clean and reliable
sources of energy in the overall energy mix.
The LaBL programme, launched in 2008, aims to bring light into the lives of people
in rural areas, in India and across the world, by replacing kerosene lamps and
candles with solar lighting devices, and providing livelihood opportunities at the
individual and village levels.
Energy Access
Providing access to clean and reliable cooking and
lighting energy is one of the biggest challenges facing
the world. Over 1.3 billion people around the world have

increased the production of cookstoves from 10 to 130
stoves per day.
The year 201314 saw significant scaling up of
activities, both in terms of geographical spread and
lives impacted. Through its activities, TERI reached out
to 2.3 million plus lives globally as part of energy access

Energy Efficiency
TERIs activities in the field of energy efficiency in the
industrial sector encompass large energy-intensive
industries as well as Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises
(MSMEs). TERI provided Energy audit services to large
industries in the sugar, steel, chemicals, food-processing,
and oil and gas sectors. TERI also conducted detailed
energy audits for the airport located at Hyderabad
and a few hotels and corporate buildings at other
locations. Services to a few Designated Consumers (large
industries having high energy consumption) are also
being provided by TERI under the Perform, Achieve, and
Trade (PAT) scheme of Government of India.
Apart from serving clients in India, TERI also worked closely with the Government
of Guyana, the Ethiopian Electricity Agency, and two factories located in
Lithuania and Thailand during the year and identified energy conservation
options in various facilities located in these countries.

Alternate Energy
Biomass-based decentralized solutions have enormous
potential to meet clean energy challenges faced at various
levels in industry, domestic usage, and daily life. TERI has
been working on development of such solutions for over
two decades now. These solutions when implemented
have resulted in large-scale energy savings, reduction
of carbon footprint, and high economic benefits to
the beneficiaries.
The TERISDC biomass partnership (TSBP) programme
has been integral to the technical and commercial
development of biomass gasifiers for thermal applications.
TERI has successfully licensed this technology to
manufacturers across India and created a market for
its thermal applications. In its current phase, the TSBP
programme focuses on accelerated usage of biomassbased clean energy solutions.
TERI has developed 10 licensees across India and
simultaneously developed a market place for its
applications. TERI has further entered into a joint venture
agreement with M/s Chanderpur Works for accelerated
research, development, and commercialization of
biomass gasifiers. This technology has been successfully
implemented in many industries such as powder coating
units, sand drying industry, and rubber drying units, etc.,
located across the country.
Biotechnology
Energy is a vital input for socio-economic development
of any nation and thus the energy strategy of a nation
aims at efficiency as well as at security for its economic
development. Owing to the fast depletion of conventional
fossil fuel sources and increased Green House Gas (GHG)
emissions, there has been an increased global concern
for energy security and energy has become the most
important commodity for national as well as international
policies and politics. TERI has undertaken several projects
to strengthen the role of biotechnology in helping to
address some of Indias energy security challenges.

Awareness
To increase awareness about the need for sustainable
habitat and build a pool of professionals equipped to
contribute towards its development, TERI conducts
awareness workshops on Green Buildings and the GRIHA
rating system all over the country. In addition, many
activities are carried out to spread awareness about
energy conservation.
Clean energy technologies are being promoted
at Belgaum, Dharwad, Gadag, and Tumkur districts of

Human Capital
At TERI, we consider all TERI-tes to be of utmost value and the key resource for the success of the Institution. The synergy brought about by our human resources is a result of the
freedom and flexibility that the institute provides to its research professionals. TERI fosters a culture, which respects diversity in age, gender, and education and realizes that each
individual is unique and that each one brings a fresh perspective and their own skill sets to the table, which in turn helps TERI build a collaborative culture. Our strength lies in the
diversity of our people and we respect the fact that their different views and ideas help us stimulate our minds intellectually. TERI encourages its researchers to work on crossfunctional and cross-divisional basis because it realizes that the interdisciplinary approach, the exchange of best work practices, and the concerted effort in thought and action leads
to the desired outcome, which in turn enhances sponsor and client satisfaction.
