DRDO SUCCESSFULLY TEST-FIRES A QUICK REACTION SURFACE-TO-AIR MISSILES

A research team from IIT Kharagpur has adapted a process called Hydro Thermal Carbonization

(HTC) for the Indian conditions which can effectively manage mixed Municipal Solid Waste

(MSW) with high moisture content. Through the process, most of the mixed MSW can be

converted into biofuel, soil amendment, and absorbents. Explaining how the technology works,

Prof Dubey said, "the technology converts organic fraction of MSW into hydrochar by using a

batch reactor. The moisture in the waste is used to the advantage of the process which uses

water for the reaction. The process has increased the resource recovery yield to 50-65% of urban

organic waste."

5. Auli: Embrace The Aura Of Romance

Auli wears almost all shades of nature to become one of the best places to visit in North India in August. Popular as

a skiing destination during the snow seasons, Auli displays a totally different spirit during monsoon. July to

September is the rainy season here and Auli receives moderate rainfall between these months. The pleasant

temperatures ranging from 10 degree Celsius to 20 degree Celsius makes August an ideal time for sightseeing tours

in Auli. Rain brings out the romantic side of this Himalayan hill station. But be cautious of the slippery roads after

rain. The rain washes out the surrounding offering lushly greener and fresher scenic views of the valley.
