When unlimited calls and data are available only in Rs. 399/-
Then why members of Parliament are getting Rs. 15000/- as telephone allowance ?
#KarpathuIAS
245 Members of Rajya Sabha

790 members of parliament multiplied by Rs 15000/- thats
Rs.11,850,000/- Only wastage of our tax money.

(7) Applications:
It will help in broad range of investigations across the fields of astronomy and cosmology.
It will help to understand the origins of the universe, evolution of our own Solar System, search for signs of life on faraway planets.
It can also analyze the atmospheres of exo-planets that pass in front of their stars.
It will look at a large number of things in the universe including icy moons, distant exo-planets and galaxy clusters.

UNAIDS report
Positive Indication
With treatment made accessible for more than 50 percent of all People Living with HIV (PLHIV), a new milestone has been achieved.
🔘 Moreover, AIDS-related deaths worldwide have reduced nearly by 50 percent since 2005.
🔘 As of 2016, 19.5 million of the 36.7 million PLHIV could avail treatment. AIDS-related deaths declined from 1.9 million in 2005 to 1 million in 2016.
🔴 When must India ramp up its efforts?
New infections in India fell from 150000 in 2005 to 80000 in 2016; the country had 2.1 million PLHIV at the end of 2016. There were at least 62,000 AIDS-related deaths last year; a decline by 58.6 percent from 2005.
🔘 After South Africa and Nigeria, India has the third highest number of HIV-infected people.
🔴 How does India plan to proceed?
The Union Health Ministry recently reached out to all states and UTs, asking them to instruct private clinics and hospitals in their region to prepare and present a list of HIV/AIDS cases they are treating. “Because there is a taboo associated with HIV/AIDS, and patients feel shy of coming to a government hospital, we miss a considerable data on HIV/AIDS. We want to get an accurate and authentic data on HIV/AIDS. The government will also duly validate the data from private clinics and hospitals keeping the patients’ details confidential,” said Dr. Arun K. Panda, additional secretary, National Aids Control Organization (Naco).
🔘 “We have recently launched ‘Test and Treat Policy for HIV’ policy. As soon as a person is tested and found to be positive, s/he will be provided with ART. We have intensified our efforts to find all those who are infected with HIV,” he said.
🔘 The Yaari Dosti programme in India was lauded by the UNAIDS report for reducing risk behaviors in men, including intimate partner violence.
🔴 Who have made the most progress?
Countries in Eastern and Southern Africa, which has been hit hardest by HIV and accounts for more than 50 percent of all PLHIV has made the maximum progress.

Every report CAG that shows some faultiness in the system is important. But this report has become more important because of the current Sino-India border standoff in Bhutan.
CAG Report on the issue
The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has presented the data on deficiencies of the Army’s War Wastage Reserve (WWR) ammunition reserves of 40% of various types of ammunition found to be below critical limits deficiencies can be seen especially in high calibre equipment needed to wage intense war the new report is an evaluation of the availability of WWR ammunition in the Army during the period 2013-14 to 2016-17 (till September 2016)
Concerns
Despite a lapse of more than three years (from March 2013) no significant improvement in the availability of WWR ammunition was noticed in audit
WWR
WWR is the reserve quantity of ammunition needed to meet the requirements for the expected duration of operations.

How tattoo ink is made?
Manufacturers usually don't reveal their ingredients and recipes. Commonly Professional tatto inks are made from iron oxides (rust), metal salts, plastics. Homemade or traditional tattoo inks are made from pen ink, soot, dirt, blood, or other ingredients.
Heavy metals used for colors include mercury (red); lead (yellow, green, white); cadmium (red, orange, yellow); nickel (black); zinc (yellow, white); chromium (green); cobalt (blue); aluminium (green, violet); titanium (white); copper (blue, green); iron (brown, red, black); and barium (white). Metal oxides used include ferrocyanide and ferricyanide (yellow, red, green, blue). Organic chemicals used include azo-chemicals (orange, brown, yellow, green, violet) and naptha-derived chemicals (red). Carbon (soot or ash) is also used for black. Other elements used as pigments include antimony, arsenic, beryllium, calcium, lithium, selenium, and sulphur.
Tattoo ink manufacturers typically blend the heavy metal pigments and/or use lightening agents (such as lead or titanium) to reduce production costs.

What happens in an atom bomb explosion?
Unlike an atomic power plant, where a chain reaction for splitting uranium is allowed to run in a controlled way, in an atomic bomb it runs at lightning speed and totally out of control. The explosion gives rise to temperature of over 10 million °C. This strong heating creates an immense pressure wave. The pressure and the heat wave destroy everything in its surroundings. Tens of thousands of people were killed immediately when the two American atom bombs were thrown on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and August 9, 1945, respectively. The infamous 'mushroom cloud' rock up to a height of 13 km and about 20 minutes later radioactive rain fell from this cloud on the two cities. A number of people have died or have developed abnormalities which are the consequences of the radioactivity caused during the explosion.👍👍 ⤴

Wireless power transfer (WPT),wireless power transmission, wireless energy transmission, or electromagnetic power transfer is the transmission of electrical energy without wires. Wireless power transmission technologies use time-varying electric, magnetic, or electromagnetic fields.

What did the Europeans gain by exploring Africa?
With the discovery of the sea route to India, the Europeans became increasingly familiar with the continent of Africa; explorers particularly took note of its extensive and diverse natural reserves. Gold and diamonds were found in plenty in the south of Africa. The British and the Boers fought here for a good bargain. Even the Churches began to take interest in this continent and sent their missionaries deep into interior of Africa. From all over Africa, especially Timbuktu, numerous tribal people were caught and forcibly sent over to America as slaves.👍👍👍

Why is it difficult for the wandering albatross to take off?
Wandering albatrosses are quite heavy, and have to do a warm-up before lifting themselves up into the air-just like an aircraft that increases its speed on the runway. They often have difficulty if the wind speed is below 12 km/h. They usually glide when they are in the air because a lot of energy is consumed in flapping their wings. Albatrosses, which have the largest wingspan of 3-5 m in the animal kingdom, cover thousands of kilometers in the air and are capable of remaining in the air without flapping their wings for several hours. They mate for life and return to the small islands to the north of Antarctic for breeding.🌅

The five NOPVs constructed by RDEL are armed with a 76 mm Super Rapid Gun Mount (SRGM) system along with two 30 mm AK-630 guns, which provide medium range and short range offensive and defensive capabilities.
The armaments of these vessels are remotely controlled through an electronic fire control system. They are also fitted with 20,000 KW diesel engine-driven propulsion systems and can deliver speeds up to 25 knots.
★ Background
RDEL, subsidiary of Reliance Infrastructure is the first private shipyard in India to obtain defence production licence and sign a contract for defence ships in 2011. It is also engaged in construction of one training ship and 14 Fast Patrol Vessels (FPVs) for the Indian Coast Guard.

What is the Largest mobile Network in the world?
With subscriber strength of 851.2 million, China Mobile is undoubtedly the champion mobile network operator in the world. China Mobile was conceived in 1999 as a result of the China Telecom break which was originally founded on September 3rd, 1997. The headquarters of China Mobile are located in Beijing, People's Republic of China, and it has since dominated the mobile service industry in China. China Mobile is under the direct control of the People's Republic of China as it is an enterprise owned by the state.
