	No Dig India Journal - July Issue by Indian Society for Trenchless Technology Raman Kumar, Dr. Dec Downey, Dr. Lalit K. Agrawal Trenchless Technology: An integrated approach for sustainable Social and Infrastructure development
	Trenchless technology: a modern solution for clean-flowing cities The Indian Government is currently using trenchless technology for construction and rehabilitation of sewers in New Delhi as part of a massive programme to clean up the Yamuna River. The work is similar scale and concept to Joseph Bazalgette’s nineteenth century London sewerage project.
	Revisiting hi-tech issues: spread the word in India The Delhi seminar was organized by Tokyo Engineering Consortium (TEC), the project management consultant acting for the Ministry of Environment National Rivers Conservation Directorate on the Yamuna Action Plan Phase-II. YAP-II is a major environmental improvement programme, focused on the Yamuna River, which stretches over 1,200 km from Himachal Pradesh through Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Delhi to the Ganges River.
	From the Desk of Vice Chairman, ISTT Trenchless Technology has a major role to play in the construction of new infrastructure and the restoration of old and will feature in both the YAP-II and the Trunk Sewer Improvement Projects. The development of technical, professional and management sills in these technologies will be a huge challenge in all sides of the industry and lessons should be drawn from the experience of other overseas countries and their emerging programmes to short circuit the learning curve.
