Posted on 03 Jun, 2013 07:53 PMAre solar pumps the start of an ever-green revolution or the end of our groundwater reserves?
Posted on 02 Jun, 2013 05:51 PMIndian farmers depend on groundwater for irrigation but often, there is a shortage of electricity that is required to pump out this water. While diesel pumps are an option, they are costly to run. A better alternative is to tap into freely available solar power. However, this technology is quite expensive at present and effective subsidies and incentives drive its usage.

Posted on 28 May, 2013 07:39 AMAt the start of the 20th century, India had nearly 40,000 tigers. That number came down to a mere 1827 in 1972. It took us just 75 years to almost wipe out an entire species!
But we woke up in the nick of time, launched ‘Project Tiger’, spent colossal amounts of money and energy and managed to double this number to 3642 by 2002.
