The bright green blocks that cover part of a large hanger-like building on Tata Steel's Shotton site in Wales certainly make the building stand out, even on the vast acreage.
However, the panels, as we soon learnt, aren't simply there to catch the eye but are at the heart of a new project the firm is embarking on, in partnership with the Welsh Assembly Government, and the UK's Low Carbon Resear
An evaluation of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) in the State has found several shortcomings in the implementation including corruption, inefficiency and lack of awareness about the programme.

The government has launched an initiative to study the phenomenon of black carbon, commonly known as soot. Black carbon is a form of particulate air pollution, produced from incomplete combustion from biomass burning, cooking with solid fuels, and diesel exhaust. Over the last few years there has been a concerted effort to address the impact of black carbon emissions on global warming.
At present geophysicists do not have much knowledge about the physical properties of rocks and fluids in the fault (earthquake) zones and how they affect the build-up stress for extended periods. This is because they do not have data from the field region.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) will now give information on the quality of air we breath in the national Capital.The data will be displayed on big LCD screens to be put across city's 11 districts. The screens will also provide weather updates.
The IMD is already in the process of selecting the places to set up the air quality stations.
