First food: business of taste
Good Food is First Food. It is not junk food. It is the food that connects nature and nutrition with livelihoods. This food is good for our health; it comes from the rich biodiversity of our regions; it

New Delhi: With the union cabinet clearing proposals of the West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat governments for setting up Petroleum, Chemical and Petrochemical Investment Regions (PCPIRs) in their territorial domain, a major hurdle has been removed in the way of investment worth more than Rs 4,50,000 crore in PCPIRs, chemicals minister Ram Vilas Paswan said today.
NEW DELHI: The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) has launched a nation-wide scheme, Bachat Lamp Yojana, to promote replacement of bulbs with compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) to save energy. Speaking about the scheme, BEE director general Ajay Mathur said:

ARVIND BANSAL BIOFUELS first became popular in the western world and much debate has centred around their environmental impact as well as cost comparative to fossil fuels. Most debate has been generic and has compared the two in
THE GOVERNMENT may give one ultra mega power plant with a generation capacity of 4,000 megawatt to every state after the state governments evinced overwhelming interest in the scheme aimed at cutting down electricity deficit.
Biomass based power generation is one of the promising renewable options. This article reviews the status and potential of biomass based power for India.
The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC), the apex power regulator in the country, today discussed measures for speedy implementation of the open access system in the country in a meeting of its Central Advisory Committee (CAC) today.

India has many years of experience using renewable energy sources to fulfill the energy needs of its population. This includes exploitation of both traditional sources (such as biomass) and nontraditional sources (such as wind power).
Globally, the wind energy sector saw phenomenal growth in the year 2007. However, in India, the industry failed to keep pace. Worldwide wind energy installation were 19,696 in 2007 MW up from 15,120 MW in 2006. In contrast in India the installations in 2007 were 1580 MW down from 1730 MW in 2006.
Wind resource availability and hence the power generation from wind power projects is variable in nature. Since the share of wind power generation is growing in India, the grid generation issues resulting due to this variable nature of wind power will have to be addressed if the growth is to be sustained.
