In the red: Pollutant levels were exceeding the limits prescribed for areas such as schools and hospitals.
Findings of the study compiled and released as a book
New research that assessed stack emissions of polluting industries in Puducherry has noted that pollutant levels were in excess of permissible limits downwind of the major industrial estates in the capital of the Union Territory.
The findings, which have been brought out in a 235-page book, evaluated air quality downwind of the seven major industrial estates and found that pollutant levels were exceeding the permissible limits prescribed for “sensitive areas” such as schools and hospitals.
The placement concluded on a high note. Key highlights are
Highest Salary was Rs.18 LPA
Average Salary was Rs.5.02 LPA

Harvesting Energy from Footsteps Could Help Tackle India s Reliance on Coal
Written by AZoCleantechJan 20 2021
India has an energy problem. It currently relies heavily on coal and consumer demand is expected to double by 2040, making its green energy targets look out of reach. Part of the solution could come from harvesting energy from footsteps, say Hari Anand and Binod Kumar Singh from the University of Petroleum and Energy Studies in Dehradun, India.
Their new study, published in the De Gruyter journal
Energy Harvesting and Systems, shows that Indian attitudes towards power generated through piezoelectric tiles are overwhelmingly positive.
Cities like Delhi and Mumbai are famously crowded, especially at railway stations, temples and big commercial buildings. This led researchers to wonder whether piezoelectric tiles, which produce energy through mechanical pressure, could turn this footfall into something useful.

Kwale (Delta), Dec. 29, 2020 The Ndokwa ethnic nationality in Delta on Tuesday blamed politicians and successive leaders for the underdevelopment of their communities despite huge oil and gas explorations in the area.
The group, therefore, resolved at its 2020 General Assembly of Ndokwa Neku Union (NNU) held in Kwale, headquarters of Ndokwa West Local Government Area, to salvage their 35 oil-rich communities that contributed more than 36 million barrels of oil produced in the area in 2019 alone.
The ethnic nationality, comprising Ndokwa East, Ndokwa West, and Ukwuani local government areas, also resolved at the event chaired by the NNU Caretaker Committee Chairman, Dr. Ogaranya Tabowei, to start the process of establishing a University of Petroleum in the area.
