Key Updates in 2025
Unified Pension Scheme (UPS): -
Introduced under NPS for Central Govt. employees from April 1, 2025, offering guaranteed retirement income, requiring enrollment by June 30, 2025, for existing members.
NPS Vatsalya Scheme: -
Proposed in the Union Budget 2025 to allow parents to contribute for minor children, with potential enhanced tax relief.
EPS -95 Minimum Pension: -
Government confirmed it would remain ₹1,000/month due to fund deficits, despite demands for an increase.
Digitalization (EPFO): -
Launch of the Centralised Pension Payment System (CPPS) for faster, bank-independent pension payments.

EPS Withdrawal Rule Change:-
 A change requiring 36 months of membership for full withdrawals, encouraging longer-term participation.
8th Central Pay Commission (CPC) & DA: -
Discussions and clarity emerged regarding potential DA hikes and reforms under the 8th CPC.

What This Means for You
For Central Govt. Employees: -
Consider enrolling in the UPS for guaranteed benefits if eligible.
.
For EPS-95 Members: -
Be aware that the ₹1,000 minimum is stable for now, but watch for updates on the review by the labor committee.

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...

State-wise carbon emissions in India show a concentration in western and southern states, with byd as major emitters, particularly from the manufacturing and energy sectors. The highest total CO2 emissions have been linked to states like Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal, though the specific ranking can vary depending on the data year and the specific pollutants included.
