The demand to increase the Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS-95) minimum pension to ₹7,500 per month is an ongoing proposal driven by pensioner protests and parliamentary recommendations, not yet officially approved. While beneficiaries seek a hike from the current ₹1,000 to manage inflation, the government cites fund constraints, actuarial deficits, and sustainability issues as reasons for the delay.

The demand to increase the Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS-95) minimum pension to ₹7,500 per month is an ongoing proposal driven by pensioner protests and parliamentary recommendations, not yet officially approved. While beneficiaries seek a hike from the current ₹1,000 to manage inflation, the government cites fund constraints, actuarial deficits, and sustainability issues as reasons for the delay.  Key Aspects of the Demand and Initiative Proposed Hike:  Pensioners are demanding a minimum pension of ₹7,500 per month plus dearness allowance. Current Status: - The proposal is under "active consideration" but has not received Cabinet approval, with no immediate hike confirmed, say Bajaj Finserv and Angel One. Rationale: - Parliamentary panels and pensioners note that the existing ₹1,000 per month is insufficient for basic needs and healthcare, especially given rising inflation. Alternative Support: - The government has previously pointed to other initiatives, like the Pradh...

This famous quote by legendary NFL coach Vince Lombard highlights that success is driven by willpower and perseverance rather than raw talent or knowledge alone. It emphasizes that mental toughness and the determination to keep going, despite setbacks, separate high achievers from others

This famous quote by legendary NFL coach Vince Lombard highlights that success is driven by willpower and perseverance rather than raw talent or knowledge alone. It emphasizes that mental toughness and the determination to keep going, despite setbacks, separate high achievers from others.  Key Aspects of the Quote:- Willpower Over Talent:-  The core difference is the commitment to apply knowledge and strength continuously. Perseverance: - It is about overcoming the "lack of will" to persevere when faced with challenges or hardships. Application: - Often used in coaching and leadership to inspire action, suggesting that success requires intense desire and consistent effort rather than just expertise.  Essentially, the ability to maintain effort and focus is more crucial for success than natural ability or innate intelligence.   The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.

According to the 2026 Global Wind Report from the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), a record 165 GW of new wind capacity was added in 2025, a 40% increase over 2024, driven heavily by China's record 120.5 GW contribution. This surge brings total global wind capacity to 1,299 GW, with 80% of new capacity added in the Asia Pacific region.

This surge brings total global wind capacity to 1,299 GW, with 80% of new capacity added in the Asia Pacific region.  Key highlights from the 2025 global wind market: Top Markets:  China, USA (6.9 GW),  India (6.3 GW),  Germany (5.7 GW), and  Brazil (2.3 GW) led the market, accounting for 86% of global additions. Onshore Growth: - Onshore wind saw massive growth, adding 155.3 GW. Offshore Segment: - Offshore wind capacity grew by 16% to 9.3 GW, with China leading with 6.6 GW. Market Dynamics: - Total global capacity reached 1,299 GW, but experts note the need to nearly double current installation levels to meet 2030 climate goals. Regional Milestones: - The Middle East saw rapid growth with a record-low cost project in Saudi Arabia, and Africa...

Based on the latest analysis for 2025, global fossil fuel power generation experienced a historic decline, driven primarily by a rapid surge in solar and wind capacity in China and India, allowing renewable energy to surpass coal in the global generation mix for the first time.

Based on the latest analysis for 2025, global fossil fuel power generation experienced a historic decline, driven primarily by a rapid surge in solar and wind capacity in China and India, allowing renewable energy to surpass coal in the global generation mix for the first time.  Key Findings for 2025: Historic Dual Decline: - For the first time this century, fossil fuel power generation dropped in both China and India in the same year. Renewables Overtake Coal: - Clean energy sources (specifically solar) grew fast enough to meet all new demands, causing renewable energy's share of the global generation to surpass that of coal. Solar Expansion:-  Global solar generation surged significantly, with China accounting for over half of the new solar capacity and generation additions. Fossil Fuel Plateau:-  With clean power generation (rising by ≈ 887 TWh) outpacing demand growth (≈849 TWh), fossil fuel-based generation declined by 0.2%, marking the fifth time this century withou...

Global fossil fuel power generation fell in 2025, driven by a historic decline in China and India, as rapid renewable energy expansion—particularly solar—outpaced electricity demand growth. For the first time this century, fossil generation dropped in both major Asian economies simultaneously. Renewables now account for a higher share of global electricity generation than coal.

Global fossil fuel power generation fell in 2025, driven by a historic decline in China and India, as rapid renewable energy expansion—particularly solar—outpaced electricity demand growth. For the first time this century, fossil generation dropped in both major Asian economies simultaneously. Renewables now account for a higher share of global electricity generation than coal.  Key Findings on Global Fossil Fuel Drop Declining Generation: - Global fossil fuel-based electricity generation fell by 38 TWh, or 0.2%, in 2025. Historic Reversal: - China and India, which have driven fossil fuel growth for two decades, saw declines of 56 TWh (0.9%) and 52 TWh (3.3%) respectively, marking a historic turning point. Coal Falls: - Global coal power experienced a decline of 63 TWh, or 0.6%, falling to below one-third of the global electricity mix for the first time. Renewable Surge: - Clean energy generation rose by 887 TWh in 2025, exceeding the total electricity demand increase of 849 TWh, m...
