Crisis: All measures of pollution in Delhi-NCR fail

Crisis: All measures of pollution in Delhi-NCR fail

The pollution situation in Delhi-NCR has been continuously serious for the last five years. Measures to prevent this have also failed. Since 2015, pollution levels in Delhi have been in the category of severe or very severe on average before and after Diwali.The state government claimed the lowest pollution in five years on Diwali, this time in Delhi, although this is true according to the average pollution level per hour or daily. According to data from the Central Pollution Control Board, the air quality index around Diwali in Delhi was around 360 to 400 in 2015, compared to 368 on October 28. The AQI then steadily rose to 500–600.

According to the CPCB, the pollution levels in Delhi on Diwali this year were 17.3%, 8.6% and 5.6 percent lower as compared to 2016, 2017 and 2018 respectively, but the pollution levels have increased year after year just after Deepawali. . In many areas, it crossed the highest scale of 999.

Compliance with laws challenge

 Anumita Raychowdhury, associated with CSIR CSE, said that while laws and plans have been made all over, their compliance is a big challenge.

Contradictions regarding the rights of institutions 

Many large organizations work on pollution, but there is confusion about their functioning and jurisdiction.

Pay cut warning

Following all-round criticism, the Delhi government had warned officials of PWD and other agencies to cut their October salaries for not removing garbage and construction material.

NGT reprimands

The NGT had asked the Delhi Pollution Control Committee to deposit a fine of Rs 25 crore with the CPCB for failure to stop pollution. He was fined for curbing illegal industrial activities.

Chandrayaan 2: Re-established Link with the lander Vikram

Chandrayaan 2: Lander Vikram Found in a “Single Piece” and in a “Tilted Position”

Not losing hope, the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) continued to make all-out efforts to establish link with Chandrayaan 2's Vikram lander, now lying on the lunar surface after a hard-landing.
Vikram, with rover 'Pragyan' housed inside it, hit the lunar surface after communication with the ground-stations was lost  contect with the Chandrayaan 2 during its final descent, just 2.1 km above the lunar surface, in the early hours of Saturday.

"It had a hard-landing very close to the planned (touch-down) site as per the images sent by the on-board camera of the orbiter. The lander is there as a single piece, not broken into pieces. It's in a tilted position," an Isro official associated with the mission claimed on Monday.
"We are making all-out efforts to see whether communication can be re-established with the lander," the official said."An ISRO team is the on the job at ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC) here."

Chandrayaan 2 comprises an orbiter, lander (Vikram) and rover (Pragyan). The mission life of the lander and rover is one Lunar day, which is equal to 14 earth days.
Isro Chairman K Sivan had said on Saturday that the space agency would try to restore link with the lander for 14 days, and reiterated the resolve on Sunday after the orbiter's camera spotted it on the Lunar surface.An ISRO official said: "Unless and until everything is intact (lander), it's very difficult (to re-establish contact). Chances are less. Only if it had soft-landing, and if all systems functioned, then only communication can be restored. Things are bleak as of now."

Isro lost contact with Chandrayaan 2

 Isro lost contact with satellite GSAT 6A

The Indian Space Research Organisation lost contact with The Chandrayaan 2 space mission’s ‘Vikram’ lander which attempted a soft-landing on the moon early morning on September 7. If successful, India would have carried out the fourth successful soft-landing on the moon by any country.
Contact was lost with ISRO when the lander was 2 kilometers from the lunar surface.Despite the setback. ISRO received praise for their work from across the country,The affair was a big event, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi attending the event with more than 70 school children. The event was held at the ISRO, Benagaluru.

What is the aim of the mission?

Chandrayaan 2 is a lunar mission that aims to explore the south polar mission of the moon. This feat is significant, since no country has gone to this region of the moon before.

It is a mission that spanned 48 days till landing. The earth bound spanned the first 23 days. The next 7 days (until the 30th day) saw it go into a lunar bound phase. The lunar bound phase lasted until the 45th day. Landing sequences are expected to end on September 7, the 48th day.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was at the ISRO Centre in Bengaluru to watch the descent, applauded the effort made by India's top scientists, even though the outcome was disappointing.

PM watch Chandrayaan-2 moon landing

PM at Isro centre to watch Chandrayaan-2 moon landing

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will watch the historic Chandrayaan 2 lunar landing live from the ISRO control room in Bengaluru accompanied by around 70 school students from across the country. The students are winners of an online quiz competition conducted by ISRO in August, with the top two scorers from each state and union territories invited to watch India join an elite club of countries to have successfully completed a soft landing on the surface of the Moon.
ISRO's online space quiz, conducted in coordination with MyGov.in between August 10 and August 25, was an attempt to increase awareness about the country's space programme. The quiz lasted 10 minutes and contained a total of 20 questions. The winners were selected on the basis of "maximum correct answers in the shortest time".

"Two top scoring students from class 8-10  from each state and union territory will be invited to Indian Space Research Organisation, Bengaluru Centre to watch the landing of Chandrayaan 2 on the Moon, live  with the Honourable PM Narendra Modi," .
Chandrayaan 2 will complete its soft landing on the Moon's surface, making India only the fourth country to achieve the feat and the first to land near the lunar South Pole on its first attempt.
The Rs.1,000-crore Chandrayaan 2 mission consists of three parts - a lunar orbiter, a lander called Vikram and a rover called Pragyaan.

In the next phase of the mission, Pragyaan, which is housed inside Vikram, will roll out between 5.30 and 6.30 am and deliver two scientific payloads to the Moon's surface. Vikram itself contains three additional payloads to conduct surface and subsurface experiments, and the orbiter carries eight others to map the surface and study the Moon's outer atmosphere.

WHAT IS CHANDRAYAAN-2

WHAT IS CHANDRAYAAN-2

India will launch a mission on July 15, aim to become the fourth country to land on the moon after the  Soviet Union, US and China to cement its place among the world’s space-faring nations.

The Chandrayaan-2 mission aims to deliver a transient to an elevated plane close to the  lunar South Pole on 6 or 7 September and explore the surface for signs of water and abundant energy. It’s one step in an visualized  progression that includes putting a space station in orbit and — eventually — landing a crew on the moon. The US, China and private corporations are among those  explore everything from resource mining to extra earthbound settlement on the moon and  Mars.

ISRO’s  priority is the $1.4 billion  mission,  which  put three Indian “gaganauts”  one of which will be a woman — into orbit.

Isro conducts Chandrayaan-2 Moon lander's deorbit manoeuvre successfully

Deorbiting manoeuvres involve the firing of the spacecraft's engines to slow down its pace and bring it closer to the Moon's surface.After successfully separating India's first Moon lander, Vikram, on Monday, the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) conducted its first deorbit manoeuvre successfully on Tuesday. The manoeuvre began at 0850 hours and had a duration of 4 seconds.

Isro officials said that after Tuesday's deorbit manoeuvre, the lander had achieved a 109 x 120 km orbit around the Moon.One more deorbit manoeuvre will be conducted on Wednesday and the orbit that the lander will achieve after this will be 39 X 110 km. The effort is to soft-land the lander in the South polar region of the Moon between two craters -- Manzinus C and Simpelius N -- on September 7, 2019.




Deorbiting manoeuvres involve the firing of the spacecraft's engines to slow down its pace and bring it closer to the Moon's surface.
Earlier, Isro Chairman K Sivan said that using deorbiting manoeuvres, the space agency would rotate the lander to the opposite side and burn all the five engines for a short while to reduce the distance between the lander and the Moon's surface, before rotating it back to the previous position. In the second deorbiting manoeuvre, the agency will once again rotate the lander to the opposite side and conduct a small burn of the engines to further bring down the orbit.

The lander will then make a powered descent to the Moon's surface in the unexplored south pole on September 7.Sivan said that the powered descent will be carried out in a 15-minute window between 0130 hours and 0230 hours IST on September 7, through which Vikram will touch down on the surface of the Moon.

"The manoeuvre was considered critical because it marks an important phase of the lunar landing process of Chandrayaan-2 and even a minute hurdle during this manoeuvre could have an impact on the whole mission," said Sivan.After Vikram's touchdown, the rover, Pragyan, will roll down from the former to carry out the research for which it was designed.  after the separation of Vikram, the orbiter will continue  fly around the Moon.

On July 22,  Chandrayaan-2 was launched into space by India's heavy-lift rocket, the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle-Mark III , in a textbook style mission from Isro's spaceport at Sriharikota .the Rs 978-crore Chandrayaan-2's total journey is estimated to be around 384,000 km.
The lander and rover will carry out experiments to find water on the lunar surface and map for chemicals and topography. Extensive mapping of the lunar surface to study variations in surface composition is essential to trace back the origin and evolution of the Moon.

The findings of these experiments will be helpful not only for India's future missions, but also for other missions, including NASA's, said Sivan, who added that past missions, including China's, were carried out close to the Equator.The first data from the rover, Pragyan, will come through about 5.8 hours after landing.While the battery will be exhausted after 14 days, if other systems are intact, once the next lunar day begins, the rover and lander could recharge their power systems and resume their work.

ganesh chaturthi 2019

Ganesh Chaturthi 2019

Ganesh Chaturthi  is a 10-day-festival celebrated to honour the birth of Ganesha. This year, the festival begins from September 2 and ends with 'visarjan' on September 12.Across India, and especially in the state of Maharashtra, the spirit of the festival is brought living with a sense of joy and  high spirits.

Sarvajanik Ganapati, Lalbaugcha Raja

One of the most famous Sarvajanik Ganapati, Lalbaugcha Raja is kept for public display for 11 days following which the deity is immersed in the Arabian Sea at Girgaum Chowpatty on the auspicious day of Anant Chaturdashi. This year, Lalbaugcha Raja enters 85 years of celebrations.

Here are a few interesting facts about the famed Lalbaugcha Raja:

• It is believed that Lalbaugcha Raja is a Navsacha Ganpati (which means one who fulfills all wishes) and over a million people visit the marquee during the 10-days of the festival.

• The mandal  known as 'Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal, Lalbaug' was founded in 1934 at Lalbaug Market.

• According to history, the mandal was funded because of a vow for construction of the present Lalbaug market at its existing place.

•  Following the shutdown of the Peru Chawl marketplace in 1932, the fishermen and vendors, who sold their goods, vowed to Ganesha for a permanent place for their market.

• The fisherman and traders established the Ganesh idol on September 12, 1934.

• Notably, the Lalbaugcha Raja Ganesh idol has been organised by the Kambli family for over 80 years.

•  Notably, there are two queues for taking blessings of the Lalbaugcha Raja -- the Navsachi line and the Mukh Darshanachi line. The first one is for people who want to get their wishes fulfilled, where they get to go on the stage, tough the feet of the deity and get his blessings. The second allows devotees to get a glimpse of the idol from a little distance.

•  Interestingly, Mumbai’s Lalbaugcha Raja hosts the longest immersion procession in the country. The immersion process commences at 10 am in the morning and ends the next morning. The second longest immersion procession is that of Andhericha Raja.

Biggest scam of 2019

Biggest scam of 2019

The 73-year-old Congress leader and former Union minister Palaniappan Chidambaram is facing the toughest turning point of his career. The lawyer-turned-politician has been slapped with money laundering and corruption charges in the INX Media case and is in the CBI custody following the Delhi High Court's refusal to grant him anticipatory bail on Tuesday.

 Media case 

In May 2017, the Central Bureau of Investigation registered an FIR for alleged discrepancy in the Foreign Investment Promotion Board's (FIPB) clearance given to the INX group in 2007. Chidambaram was Finance Minister at that time.

The Financial Intelligence Unit  under the Finance Ministry had raised queries over foreign direct investment of over Rs 305 crore made by three Mauritius-based companies in INX Media Pvt Ltd, then owned by Peter Mukherjea and his wife Indrani Mukerjea.

The case was forwarded by Mumbai IT Department to the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which also registered a case against the media organisation in 2010. INX Media in turn engaged Chidambaram's son Karti -- the promoter-director of Chess Management Service (P) Ltd, to resolve the issue, by influencing various departments of FIPB.

The rise of Chidambaram 

Chidambaram, who has a degree in law and an MBA from Harvard Business School, joined the Congress in 1984 and contested and won Lok Sabha elections from Sivaganga around the same time. He had been associated with several ministries including that of commerce and industry, mostly as junior minister till mid-1990s. In 1996, Chidambaram leave the Congress for a brief period to join Tamil Maanila Congress -- a breakaway faction of the state Congress unit.

He made his mark as Finance Minister in 1997 when he presented the "dream Budget" under then Prime Minister Deve Gowda, who was leading a fragile United Front government at that time.

Despite being part of a weak coalition government, Chidambaram introduced bold reforms including drastic reduction of personal and corporate tax rates in the 1997 Budget. Soon after, he rejoined the Congress.

His striking rise in politics started only in 2004. He was given the important portfolio of finance in the Manmohan Singh-led UPA government. As Finance Minister, he had to deal with the Left parties, which provided outside support to the government and many of his proposals, aimed at expanding private sector participation to boost growth of the Indian economy, did not see the light of day.

However, he played an important role in introducing the Value Added Tax (VAT) while notifying in the Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management Act (FRBMA). However, he is remembered most for designing and implementing the Rs 70,000 crore farm debt waiver scheme, which many believe, went a long way in the helping the UPA retain power in the subsequent 2009 Lok Sabha elections.

While economists and policy makers criticised this move, he managed to impress the top echelon of the Congress party. In November 2008, Chidambaram already touted as an achiever by his party men—was entrusted with home ministry.

Controversies 

Chidambaram was caught in the middle of a controversy when news reports suggested that he had manipulated the voting process to win the 2009 Lok Sabha election from Sivaganga. AIADMK candidate Raja Kannappan was declared elected by over 3,500 votes initially on May 16, 2009 but within hours Chidambaram's fate turned, and he was declared elected by 3,354 votes.

As Home Minister, he had a tougher job at hand. His tenure was laced with criticism, especially on issues relating to security. In 2011, when he was in charge of the Home Ministry, three co-ordinated bomb explosions ripped Mumbai killing many. These blasts took place barely three years after the horrific terror attacks in two of Mumbai's premier hotels.

Not just that, Chidambaram was seen by many -- including those from his own party -- as a man who was arrogant, head-strong and he often remained incommunicado. He had also been assaulted by a Sikh journalist in April 2009 for giving a "clean chit" to Jagdish Tytler.

In August 2012 Chidambaram was removed from the Home Ministry, and he once again resumed charge as Finance Minister. He is also often blamed for forcing the public sector banks to expand their credit portfolio in a reckless manner—something that has led to the alarming rise in the non performing asset levels in the government banks.

5G | Low Cost Network | Low Power Network

 University of Waterloo have developed a cheaper and more efficient method for Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices to receive high-speed wireless connectivity.
With 75 billion Internet of Things (IoT) devices expected to be in place by 2025, there would be a growing strain on requirement of wireless networks. Contemporary WiFi and cellular networks won't be enough to support the influx of IoT devices, researchers highlighted in their new study.

Millimeter wave  that offers multi-gigahertz  that allocated to today's WiFi and cellular networks. In fact, 5G networks would be powered by MillimeterWave technology. However, the hardware required to use Millimeter Wave is expensive and power-hungry, which are significant deterrents to it being deployed in many IoT applications.

"To address the existing challenges in exploiting Millimeter wave  for IoT applications we created a novel Millimeter wave  network ,mmX significantly reduces cost and power consumption of an Millimeter wave  network enabling its use in all IoT applications."
In comparison to WiFi and Bluetooth, which are slow for many  applications, Millimeter Wave X provides much higher bit rate.

"MillimeterWave X will not only improve our WiFi and wireless experience, as we will receive much faster internet connectivity for all IoT devices, but it can also be used in applications, such as, virtual reality, data centers and wireless  networks. Any sensor you have in your home, which traditionally used WiFi and lower frequency can now communicate using high-speed millimeter wave networks.
"Autonomous cars are  going to use a huge number which will be connected through wire; now you can make all of them wireless and more reliable."

Mann ki baat by PM Narinder Modi

My dear countrymen, Namaskar. On the one hand, these days, every corner of the country is celebrating festivals and fairs. And this will go on till Diwali. Perhaps our ancestors intricately wove the annual seasonal cycle, the economy cycle and social & life systems in a way that ensured, that under no circumstances, dullness crept into society. We celebrated  a few festivals in the days gone by. Yesterday, Krishna  Janma Mahotsav, the festival of the birth of Lord Krishna was celebrated in India. Can anyone even imagine the greatness of his personality, that, even after thousands of years, the festival comes along with renewed novelty, a new inspiration with fresh energy. And  although millennia ago, yet it is relevant in providing solutions to problems as well as inspiration . Everyone can find solutions to the problems from Shri Krishna’s life.

without being affected by the huge might that he possessed, there were times when he would absorb himself in performing the RAAS; at other times he would be in the centre of cows and cowherds; sometimes  yield  in sports & games; often playing the flute. A personality  overflow with various talents and immense capability, yet devoted to empowering society and people, a face that express develop accomplishments, a repository, a savior of people. What qualities should the virtue of friendship possess? Who can forget the incident of Sudama? And on the battlefield? without being affected by his a lot facets of greatness, assuming the role of a charioteer! Or running task such as lifting a hillock, or at other times picking up leftover leaf plates. that’s why today, as I talk with you, my attention is drawn towards two Mohans. One is the Sudarshan Chakra carriaging Mohan and the other is the Charkha carriaging Mohan.

The Sudarshan Chakra carriaging Mohan left the banks of the Yamuna for the sea beach of Gujarat, establishing himself in the city of Dwarika, while the Mohan born on the sea beach reached the banks of the Yamuna, respire his last in Delhi. Sudarshan Chakra carriaging Mohan, thousands of years ago, had amply used his wisdom, his sense of duty, his might, his worldview to avert war, to prevent conflict, a sign of the times then. And spinning-wheel carriaging Mohan too chose a similar path, for the sake of Freedom, for preserving human values, for strengthening the basic elements of personality & character- for this he give a certain hue to the Freedom struggle that left the whole world amazed, which it still remains today. The importance of knowledge, amidst the trials and tribulations of life, we can learn all these from Lord Krishna’s life’s . 

Today, as we discuss festivities are under way for a mega festival in India. Not just in India, it is a part of the  in the whole world. My dear countrymen, I’m mention to the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. On the 2nd of October, 1869, at the seaside of Porbandar,  in that small house, not just a person; an era was born, that charted the course of human history on an altogether new path, with trail blazing accomplishments on the way. One attribute has always been part of Mahatma Gandhi’s being – and that was his sense of service and the sense of duty towards it. If you view his life, you will notice that he served communities in South Africa that were bearing the burden of narrowness – in those times, it was, by no means a small feat. He distribute farmers in Champaran who were being distinguish against. He served millworkers who were being underpaid. He served the poor, the penniless, the weak and the hungry.   In order to dispel them, he closely served people suffering from leprosy. He presented  examples through the service in his own life. He set examples for others to learn- not through words, but through activity. Gandhiji shared an bond with truth; he shared a  unique bond with the spirit of service. Whoever, needed him, Gandhiji was present to serve. He highlight not only on the spirit of service, but also on the inner happiness .

My dear countrymen, I will be waiting for your participation on 29th August in 'Fit India Movement', in ‘Poshan Abhiyaan’ during the month of September and especially in the 'Swachhata Abhiyan'  from the 11th of September to the 2nd of October. And 2nd October as a day has been totally dedicated to clearance from plastic. All of us with all our  must try to remove of plastics from our home and everywhere outside our houses. all these campaigns will make a big story on social media. Come, let us proceed with a new passion, new determine and renewed strength.

My dear countrymen, this episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ has in store for you today. I will wait for your say and your suggestions. Come, let us all march together to make the India which was dreamt of by our freedom fighters and  Gandhi's dreams - 'Swantah: Sukhayah'.

Will Triple Talaq bill convenience the Muslim women ?

‘Triple Talaq' is the term used to signify the methodology of divorce in Islam.
Finally, triple talaq bill has passed the first hurdle of Lok Sabha. With huge numerical superiority in the lower house of the Parliament, it was a foregone conclusion that the BJP will be able to get the bill passed without a hitch. It should also pass the Rajya Sabha hurdle as well, given the fact that the numbers in the upper house of Parliament also favor the saffron camp. The BJP claims it wants to ensure justice for the Muslim women in the country. Triple Talaq bill will convenience the Muslim women . Nonetheless, the whole idea of criminalizing triple talaq, despite the fact that the country’s apex court had struck down the tradition, seems rather very strange. With the Supreme Court making triple talaq illegal, there was actually no need to bring the bill, criminalize something that cannot be done and try to take credit for improving the lot of the Indian Muslim women. revoke the article 370 play important roal to improve the conditions of  kashmiri Muslim women.

Illegalize something that didn’t take place

The BJP that has used the issue of instant triple talaq deftly for making political gains, has simply gone too far in its zest to make the entire Muslim community look obscurantist and backward. Many among Muslims are looking at the latest bill as a tool to divide the Muslim community. Others claim that the bill was unnecessary as it criminalizes an act that cannot be committed due to it being illegal. Since the Supreme Court has set aside triple talaq, it no longer dissolves the marriage, and thus, causes no harm at all. It no more threatens the security and well-being of society. He goes on to add
that the triple talaq shouldn’t be criminalized as there was no need to do so. “Inconsequential triple talaq, thus, should not be criminalised. The fundamental principle of good legislation is the art of conducting men to the maximum of happiness, and to the minimum of distress. A principal source of errors and injustice in prescription are false ideas of its utility. The Lok Sabha debates clearly demonstrated that government has unrealistic hopes from this bill.

Is BJP really the liberator of Muslim women?

The saffron party has been gloating over the fact that it has been able to bring the law criminalizing triple talaq and pass it from Lok Sabha. The Union Law Minister has said that the government wants to improve the lot of the Muslim women in the country. Does the party really want to improve the condition of the Muslim woman by sending the husband, usually the lone bread winner in a household to the jail for three years? There is no denying that the instant triple talaq destroyed
the lives of a few Muslim women who actually suffered from it, but this was taken care of by the Supreme Court verdict making the practice null and void. If the sole bread winner of the family goes to jail for committing a crime that cannot really take place, who will look after the wife and children. The woman, following the apex court verdict will remain his wife despite him pronouncing triple talaq. If the BJP was really eager to see the Indian Muslim women develop, as the Union Law Minister so grandly claimed, his government should have passed legislation providing special provision of reservation for the Muslim women in job and education. By ensuring that the sole bread winner of the family goes to jail, the BJP government at the center has hurt the Muslim woman and BJP is  liberator of muslim women , whose interests it claims it wanted to safeguard.
