Green Number Plate for "EV's"

New Law for "Electric Motor Vehicle"


Indian Government approves Green Number Plate for EVS, to offer privilege and concession.

The Government of India has taken yet another step in pushing for greater adoption of electric vehicles in India with the approval of green number plates for EVs in the country.

The green number plates will make for the fifth type of number plates offered to civilians at the moment. These will feature white fonts for EVs owned as personal vehicles, while commercially operated EVs will feature yellow fonts. These number plates will not only be unique to signify EVs, but also entail a bunch of privileges and concessions to be put in place for early adopters of EVs. These may include toll concessions on highways, exclusive parking zones and specialised lanes in congested areas. Furthermore, commercial vehicle operators may soon be mandated to include a percentage of electric cars in their fleets to increase the adoption of electric mobility. This move may kick in onward of 2020, when India is expected to have a larger number of publically accessible charging stations.

The government is contemplating permitting youth in the age group of 16-18 years to drive e-scooters, which are gearless and this will lead to a big demand for e-scooters, the minister noted.

Under the Motor Vheicles Act, 1988, those in the age group of 16-18 years are granted licence for below 50 CC gearless scooters.

Incidentally there is no scooter in this category made in the country.

"The government is also contemplating to ask taxi aggregators to have an incremental share of electric vehicles from 2020 onwards, which could be 1 per cent of the fleet every year," Gadkari said.

In our country 24 million vehicles sold in India in 2017-18, electric vehicles accounted for barely about 1 per cent, the official added.

Dwarf: Definition & Type

Type of Dwarf A star is a giant ball of extremely hot gas (plasma), sustained by nuclear fusion which turns hydrogen into helium. All this energy produces heat, light and bigger chemical elements. A star emits electromagnetic radiation that moves away from the star as light. The large mass of a star holds it together. Old stars change helium into other elements like carbon and oxygen. Yellow dwarfs - main-sequence stars like our own Sun, Alpha Centauri A, Tau Ceti, etc, typically about 80 - 100% of the size of the Sun, and actually more white than yellow. They are also known as G V stars for their spectral type G and luminosity class V. White stars - bright, main-sequence  stars  with  masses from 1.4 to 2.1 times the mass of the Sun and surface temperatures between 7,600°C and 10,000°C, such as Sirius A and Vega. Red giants - luminous giant stars of low or intermediate mass (usually between 0.5 and 10 solar mas...

'The 42' Tallest building in India

The 42 The 42’ in Kolkata has now become India’s tallest building. After the construction of its 65th floor, 42 Chowringhee in Kolkata has become the country’s tallest building with a height of 268 meters. Dwarfing all the other major buildings around the city like Tata Centre and Everest House, this new wonder is redefining the skyline of Kolkata. The second tallest building in the city is at a whooping 167.8 meters and it’s named Urbana. Sadly, it falls just a 100 metes short to ‘The 42’. Owners of "The 42" The 42 project in Chowringhee, Kolkata is being built by a four-member consortium- Mani Group, Salarpuria Sattva, Alcove Realty and Diamond Group. Hafeez Contractor is working as a consultant on this project which is scheduled for delivery in December 2018.

Relation between "Time & Space"

                What is space and time?   In physics, spacetime is any mathematical model that fuses the three dimensions of space and the one dimension of time into a single four-dimensional continuum. Spacetime diagrams can be used to visualize relativistic effects such as why different observers perceive where and when events occur differently. Another corollary of special relativity is that, in effect, one person’s interval of space is another person’s interval of both time and space, and one person’s interval of time is also another person’s interval of both space and time. Thus, space and time are effectively interchangeable, and fundamentally the same thing (or at least two different sides of the same coin), an effect which becomes much more noticeable at relativistic speeds approaching the speed of light. Einstein’s former mathematics professor, Hermann Minkowski, was perhaps the first to note this effect (and perhaps...

सिंधु घाटी की सभ्यता: हड़प्पा सभ्यता

आज हम अपने भारत के इतिहास के बारे में पढ़ेंगे हड़प्पा सभ्यता जैसा कि आप सभी को पता है भारत की सबसे पुरानी सभ्यता सिंधु घाटी सभ्यता है जिसे हड़प्पा सभ्यता भी कहा जाता है इसका काल 2500 ईसा पूर्व से 1500 पूर्व है सिंधु घाटी सभ्यता का भारतीय इतिहास में एक विशिष्ट स्थान क्योंकि सभ्यता के आने से भारतीय इतिहास में मौर्य काल से पूर्व की विशिष्ट जानकारी प्राप्त होती है सिंधु घाटी सभ्यता विश्व की प्राचीनतम सभ्यता हूं जैसे मिश्र मेसोपोटामिया सुमेर एवं कीट के समान विकसित एवं प्राचीन थी यह ताम्र पाषाण संस्कृति भी है सर्वप्रथम 1921 में राय बहादुर दयाराम साहनी ने हड़प्पा नामक स्थान पर इस महत्वपूर्ण सभ्यता के अवशेषों का पता लगाया प्रारंभ में उत्खनन कार्य सिंधु नदी घाटी में ही किया गया तथा वही इस सभ्यता के अवशेष सर्वप्रथम प्राप्त हुए थे अतः इस सभ्यता को सिंधु घाटी सभ्यता कहा गया परंतु इस सभ्यता के अवशेष सिंधु नदी की घाटी से दूर गंगा यमुना के दोआब और नर्मदा ताप्ती के मुहाने तक प्राप्त हुए हैं अतः पुरातत्व वेदो ने पुरातत्व परंपरा के आधार पर इस सभ्यता का नाम उसके सर्वप्रथम ज्ञात स्थल के नाम प...

Andromeda Galaxy

Our Neighbor Galaxy: Andromeda Galaxy The Andromeda Galaxy was an inhabited galaxy located in the universe within relative proximity to the Milky Way. Andromeda had two satellite galaxies. An image depicting the Andromeda Galaxy was scanned by the Talosians as they reviewed the library computer files on board USS Enterprise in 2254. (TOS-R: "The Cage") An older image of the Andromeda Galaxy appeared in the original "The Cage". This image was replaced for the remastered episode. This galaxy was located in the Andromedaconstellation. In the real world, the Andromeda Galaxy is 2,537,000 light-years from Earth. The Messier Catalog number for this galaxy was M31. Both the Andromeda and the Milky Way were located within the Local Group of galaxies. The distance between the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way Galaxy was either about one million light years (Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 1, p. 28)) or about 2 million light years. The Androm...
