Green India mission for environmental control

Green India mission 
 Green India Mission (GIM), or National Mission for a Green India,-
   1) It is one of eight missions under the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) in India.
2)  Its primary goal is to increase forest and tree cover, improve the quality of existing forests, and enhance ecosystem services like biodiversity, water, and biomass. 
3) Its aims to increase forest and tree cover on 5 million hectares and improve the quality of existing forests on an additional 5 million hectares in 10 years. 
Key objectives and activities of the Green India Mission:-
1) Afforestation and reforestation:-
        Planting trees on degraded lands and restoring existing forest areas. 
2) Eco-restoration:-
 .   Undertaking activities to restore degraded ecosystems, including those on private and public lands, with a key role for local communities. 
3) Enhancing ecosystem services:-
    Focusing on biodiversity, water, biomass, and other ecosystem services. 
4) Climate change adaptation and mitigation:-
Addressing climate change impacts through adaptation and mitigation measures. 
5) Promoting sustainable forest management: -
  Encouraging sustainable practices in forestry and other related activities. 
6) Capacity building:-
Training and empowering local communities involved in GIM activities. 
7) Monitoring and evaluation:-
     Regularly assessing the progress and effectiveness of GIM activities. States and Union Territories involved:
    Seventeen states and one union territory have been taken up under the GIM based on their submitted perspective plans and available funds. These include:-
Andhra Pradesh, 
Arunachal Pradesh, 
Chhattisgarh,
 Haryana, 
Himachal Pradesh,
 Karnataka,
 Kerala,
 Madhya Pradesh, 
Maharashtra, 
Manipur, 
Mizoram,
 Odisha,
 Punjab, 
Sikkim, 
Uttarakhand, 
Uttar Pradesh, 
West Bengal, and 
Jammu & Kashmir. 
Implementation and Funding:-
    The GIM is a centrally sponsored scheme with 100% central assistance, meaning the central government provides the full funding for the mission. 
   The funds are released to the states based on their perspective plans and annual plans of operation. 
The states are evaluated on their plans and allocated funds accordingly. 
Impact and benefits:-
   The GIM is expected to have a positive impact on various aspects, including:
Increasing forest cover: 
Contributing to the overall forest cover and biomass in the country. 
Enhancing carbon sinks: -
    Increasing the capacity of forests and other ecosystems to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. 
Improving biodiversity: -
    Restoring and protecting biodiversity in forest and non-forest areas. 
Strengthening ecosystem services: -
   Enhancing the provision of essential ecosystem services, such as water and biomass. 
Supporting livelihoods:-
   Providing employment and income-generating opportunities for local communities involved in GIM activities. 
Resilience to climate change: -
    Increasing the resilience of ecosystems and communities to the impacts of climate change. 
     The Green India Mission is a significant step towards addressing climate change and promoting sustainable development in India.

Solar Generation in Night hrs

How to get get Solar generations in Night        While standard solar panels cannot generate electricity at night,     New technologies are being developed to address this limitation.      These advancements focus on harnessing the earth's heat or using infrared radiation emitted by the Earth to generate power, potentially creating 24-hour renewable energy sources.  Key Concepts and Technologies :- 1) Anti-Solar Panels (Thermo-radiative Cells):- How they work:-    These panels, also known as thermoradiative cells, work in reverse of traditional solar panels. Instead of absorbing sunlight, they emit infrared radiation into space, which is then converted into electricity.    Nighttime energy:-     They can generate electricity from the difference in temperature between the panel and the surrounding environment, essentially converting the heat escaping into space back into usable power.  Potential:-  ...

Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power

  Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power         Statement "1000 pounds" per day of hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power in the world" is not accurate.     While hydrogen can be produced from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, it's not a replacement for those sources themselves. Hydrogen production via electrolysis, using renewable electricity, is a promising avenue for decarbonization, but it doesn't negate the need for solar and wind power as direct energy sources.  Cause behind its is as under. Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier:-     Hydrogen is an energy carrier, meaning it stores energy produced elsewhere (like from solar or wind) and can be used to power fuel cells or for other applications.  Electrolysis:-     A key method of producing "green" hydrogen involves using electricity from renewable sources (like solar and wind) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen throu...

Lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage in Japan

Lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage in Japan     Japan has developed a technology that allows houses to literally lift off the ground during earthquakes, protecting them from damage.    This is achieved using a system of compressed air and sensors that inflate an airbag under the house, lifting it a few centimeters during tremors. The house then gently settles back down when the shaking stops.      Japan has developed innovative earthquake-resistant technology that allows houses to lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage. This is achieved through systems like the one developed by Air Danshin, which uses compressed air to lift houses on airbags. When sensors detect tremors, the airbag inflates, raising the house a few centimeters and preventing it from shaking violently with the ground.    More detailed explanation: Airbag Technology:- Air Danshin has pioneered the use of large airbags placed b...
