Dehradun, Aug. 23 -- The third edition of 'Making Molehills of Mountains: Communities and Constitutional Rights in the Times of Climate Crisis', published by the SDC Foundation and Bishen Singh Mahendra Pal Singh, was launched at the Doon Library and Research Centre on Saturday. The book analyses 98 key climate-related disasters reported in Uttarakhand in 2025 and identifies five major concerns emerging from the state's recurring disasters. The third edition draws on 12 monthly reports compiled under the Uttarakhand Disaster and Accident Analysis Initiative (UDAAI). The SDC Foundation had earlier published Demystifying Disasters in Devbhoomi Uttarakhand in 2023 and Tales of Uttarakhand's Climate Crisis and an Uncertain Development Model in 2024. The foreword to the latest edition has been written by Sanjeev Chopra, former director of Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration. The five concerns identified in the book include administrative delays and fragmented governance in disaster prevention, the emergence of urban and semi-urban disaster landscapes, glacial lakes and changes in the cryosphere, infrastructure-induced disaster risks and the ecological burden of mass tourism. The issues have been examined by experts including former Union minister Murli Manohar Joshi, urban planner and architect Jagan Shah, Manish Mehta of the Wadia Institute, Lokesh Ohri and Vaibhav Kala of Aquaterra Adventures. The book also examines the legal and constitutional dimensions of development in Uttarakhand. Aditya Rawat of UPES writes about environmental laws and legislation in the state over the past 25 years, while Gautam Kumar of the same university examines delimitation in the context of Uttarakhand's persistent migration problem. Prerna Raturi contributes a perspective based on the lived experience of residents of a hill station. Chandra Shekhar Tiwari of Doon Library and Research Centre welcomed participants at the launch, which was moderated by Dinesh Semwal of the SDC Foundation. Editors Prerna Raturi and Anoop Nautiyal introduced the book and highlighted the need to mainstream climate change, community concerns and constitutional rights in the state's development discourse. Contributors Manish Mehta, Lokesh Ohri and Gautam Kumar spoke about their respective chapters, while Abhimanyu Gehlot proposed the vote of thanks. Students and faculty members from several universities, including Swami Rama Himalayan University, Shri Guru Ram Rai University, Sardar Bhagwan Singh University, Quantum University, Doon Business School, Tula's University, Uttaranchal University, DIT University and Doon University, attended the launch....
