WHY FARMERS ARE NOT STOPPING CHAFF BURNING?

 CHAFF BURNING
  • According to The Hindu,Burning stubble, the rice chaff left over after harvesting, is linked to winter air-pollution in Punjab as well as down-wind Delhi. In 2013, the National Green Tribunal issued a directive to Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh asking them to ban such stubble burning. The Centre has spent about ₹600 crore in subsidising farm equipment via village cooperatives to enable farmers to access them and avoid stubble burning. In 2018, Punjab had disbursed about 8,000 farm implements to individual farmers and set up 4,795 custom hiring centres, from where such machinery could be leased. The cost of hiring these machines was about ₹5,000 an acre. However, the success of these efforts has been mixed even though stubble-fires in 2018 were fewer than in 2017 and 2016, according to satellite maps by independent researchers.

  • According to a survey done by InTech to know what public feels is the cause of pollution, 75% of them have said that Chaff Burning is the major cause in the increase of pollution. But blaming the hard working farmers is also not a solution.They do so as they are not aware of the pollution and if they know,they cant do anything as to remove chaff takes a very long amount of time and the machines that are used to take out chaff are very costly and the only option left to them is to burn the chaff.According to a Farmer that burning of chaff is also useful to them as the leftover after burning them acts a fertilizer for their fields and it makes the soil good for agriculture. InTech believes that only option left to stop Chaff Pollution is to make a Machine which will take out Chaff from the Soil and it will also not waste the chaff and instead the machine will also convert the chaff into the Fertilizer that the Farmer is saying.The machine will be at a very low cost so that every farmer would be purchasing it. InTech has been working on it and has made such machine "Chaff Processor''.Chaff Processor is currently going under some changes and is schedule to be launched next year at a low affordable price as told by Syed Farhan Ashraf,Founder,InTech.

OnePlus 8 Pro: Way ahead of the competition!! 😲

The OnePlus 8 pro has recently been launched on April 14th and I think its way ahead of its competition in India. Just by looking at the specs of the phone we can say that and some of them include a 120Hz punch-hole Quad Hd+ display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, a quad rear camera set-up IP 68 Water and dust resistant, LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.0 storage, WiFi 6, 5G enabled, 30W wired and wireless charging. If you think that’s too much we’re just getting started. But this blog is mostly about the display of this Smartphone which is just phenomenal.  The One Plus 8 Pro features a 6.78” Quad Hd+ display with 3168x1440 pixels and 513 pixels per inch(ppi), with a punch-hole on the top-left corner of the device which is for the selfie camera. It is a curved full screen flexible OLED panel which is a Samsung display panel (Fun Fact: Most of the top-tier Smartphone displays are produced by Samsung) and which has a 120Hz screen refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate for liq...

Folding Phones:The Next Generation Smartphones.

A Foldable Smartphone is a form factor of smartphones, which allows access to a larger tablet like display or a phablet when needed by unfolding the device, while maintaining a similar or smaller footprint and functionality to a standard smartphone when folded (typically along a vertical axis).The screen my either wrap around to the back of the device when folded (as with Royole Flexpai and Huawei Mate X), or use a booklet like design where the larger folded screen is located on the interior and a screen on its "cover" allows the user to interact with the device without opening it such as the Samsung Galaxy Fold.                In the year 2019 we saw  many leaks of these folding devices and some very imminent launches of mainly the Samsung Galaxy Fold, the Royole Flexpai and the Huawei Mate X and also the flip phoned design one the Moto Razr 2019. All of these were launched at a price that only the tech enthusiasts and the rich humans...

The New Future Of Batteries

Graphene batteries-The new future of batteries!! 😯🤫 Smartphones these days are evolving blazingly fast, they are revolutionising from what they were to cope up with the modern era, but the one thing that has been the same since the first smartphone launch is the battery of these devices. Ever since the starting, these smartphones are using Lithium-ion batteries which till date are powering all the smartphones and they have been pretty great considering that they can now be fast charged and last about a day or two, but I think that they are falling short as the smartphone features are becoming more and more powerful these days. But what if I told you that your smartphones will be able to fully charge in just 15 minutes and would last for about three to four days of heavy usage or maybe a week too…well this might just be possible with these graphene batteries.  For starters what actually are graphene batteries? Briefly, graphene is a composition of carbon atoms tightly ...
