Printable Solar Panels The Future Is Here: Solar Ink https://www.greenmatch.co.uk/blog/2014/09/printable-solar-panels The majority of solar panels today are made from silicon. The Australian scientists though, are using organic semiconductor polymers, which are then broken down to create ink. The resulting ink has the ability to capture light and convert it into electricity.

The current regime deeply understands the power of political symbolism, which it uses to push its ideological agenda. For Hindutva, the spectre represents the 'ancient' civilisational values while the constitution is a banal and borrowed document, alien to Indian civilisation.

The installation of a replica of a Chola-era sceptre in the new parliament building has sparked an interesting debate because it has inscribed a cultural artefact with immense political meaning by resignifying it as a symbol of sovereignty. The narrative being conjured to legitimise its installation is one of ‘civilisational recuperation’, which basically states that the sceptre is a symbol of the civilisational roots of our nation-state, and by its installation, the current regime is reigniting the civilisational consciousness and pride which was sought to be extinguished under the Nehruvian consensus.

 Infra, Faculty Shortages Hinder Enrolment, Research At New IITs: CAG Report https://www.indiaspend.com/development/infra-faculty-shortages-hinder-enrolment-research-at-new-iits-report-865617

 while all IITs receive significant funding from government sources, the number and cost of non-government-sponsored projects were low for the new IITs. Only IIT Mandi, IIT Patna, IIT Ropar, and IIT Hyderabad were able to attract 3.5% to 14.31% of funding from non-government sources.

In terms of patents filed and obtained, the new IITs are yet to catch up with the older institutes.
Overall, the audit highlighted areas of concern in research activities at the IITs, including the need to attract more non-government funding, improve the patent filing and obtaining process and increase research publications.
Comment: Is the funding being privatised or the patents a result of the base infrastructure and knowledge base being privatised… in the name of no-govt. funding.
