inaugurates Directors' Certification Master Class in Ooty\",\"excerpt\":\"\",\"content\":\"-50 Representatives of the boards of leading organizations participated\\u00a0\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nOoty (Tamil Nadu), 11 July : The Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA), the apex think tank of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India, inaugurated its widely industry leading Directors' Certification Master Class in the serene hills of Ooty, Tamil Nadu yesterday. The event, held from 10 to 12 July 2024, brings together over 50 participants representing the boards of leading organizations across India to enhance their corporate governance acumen.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe inaugural session was graced by esteemed dignitaries, including Dr. Ajay Bhushan Pandey, Chairman of the National Financial Reporting Authority (NFRA) and the Director General &amp; CEO of IICA; Ms. Neera Saggi, Independent Director on the boards of multiple companies including Tata Steel and GE Power; Mr. Shailesh Haribhakti, Board Chairman, Audit Committee Chair, and Independent Director in several leading organizations\\r\\nIn his keynote address, Dr. Ajay Bhushan Pandey highlighted the essential role of corporate governance in today's economy and society. He emphasized the importance of audit committees and independent auditors in maintaining corporate integrity and sustainability, referencing historical cases like Kreuger &amp; Toll and McKesson &amp; Robbins to illustrate the evolution of regulatory frameworks.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\\"Sound corporate governance is the bedrock of a robust corporate sector,\\\" he stated, stressing its crucial contribution to sustainable growth. Dr. Pandey outlined five key defenses in corporate governance: management, audit committees and independent directors, financial reporting frameworks and auditors, investors\\\/shareholders and lenders, and independent regulators like NFRA. He urged audit committees to engage deeply with key audit standards and review NFRA disciplinary orders regularly. Additionally, he emphasized the importance of Key Audit Matters (KAM) and Emphasis of Matters (EOMs), advocating for active engagement with auditors to ensure transparent reporting.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nDr. Pandey concluded by underscoring the primary responsibility of corporate boards to protect shareholders\\u2019 interests and ensure good governance. He recommended directors familiarize themselves with NFRA's review reports and disciplinary orders. Quoting Healy and Palepu from Harvard Business School, he suggested evolving audit committees into \\\"transparency committees\\\" to give investors a clearer understanding of a company's economic reality.\\r\\n\\r\\nDuring the inaugural session, Dr. Pandey also highlighted a new collaborative initiative between IICA and NFRA to launch specialized training modules aimed at enhancing the skills and knowledge of accounting professionals, auditors, and independent directors. These courses, which will count towards the continuing professional learning requirements for chartered accountants, are designed to prepare auditors and independent directors to manage large companies with diverse shareholder bases and meet global standards. The training modules will include nine-month courses for auditors and accountants, with online classes held two to three days a week, and shorter courses for independent directors lasting three to six months. Developed with input from top industry experts, these courses aim to provide practical and valuable learning experiences.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe Directors' Certification Master Class continues over the next two days, featuring sessions led by distinguished speakers and industry experts. Notable speakers include Mr. Nawshir Mirza, Independent Director at Thermax Ltd; Mr. Vivek Talwar, Former Chief Sustainability Officer at Tata Group; Mr. Puneet Gupta, Managing Director at Protiviti India; Dr. Anil Kumar, Independent Director at LIC of India; CA Mohan R. Lavi, Board Advisor; and Dr. Mahendra Chouhan, Former Chairman of Fino Payments Bank; Mr. Nagendra Rao, Past President of ICSI and Mr. PS Jayakumar, Former MD &amp; CEO of Bank of Baroda.\\r\\n\\r\\nFostering an environment of learning and collaboration, equipping participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in their roles as directors and governance professionals - this three-day program is led by Dr. Niraj Gupta, Head of the School of Corporate Governance &amp; Public Policy (SoCGPP) at IICA, and supported by Mr. Manoj Singh and Mr. Mathew John, Chief Program Executives at IICA.\",\"author\":{\"name\":\"schooltimesindia\",\"link\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/author\\\/schooltimesindia\"},\"date\":\"Jul 11, 2024\",\"dateGMT\":\"2024-07-11 10:59:13\",\"modifiedDate\":\"2024-07-11 16:31:13\",\"modifiedDateGMT\":\"2024-07-11 11:01:13\",\"commentCount\":\"0\",\"commentStatus\":\"open\",\"categories\":{\"coma\":\"<a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/college-events\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">College Events<\\\/a>, <a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/education\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Education News<\\\/a>, <a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/latest-news\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Latest News<\\\/a>\",\"space\":\"<a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/college-events\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">College Events<\\\/a> <a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/education\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Education News<\\\/a> <a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/latest-news\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Latest News<\\\/a>\"},\"taxonomies\":{\"post_tag\":\"\"},\"readTime\":{\"min\":3,\"sec\":5},\"status\":\"publish\"},{\"id\":3959,\"link\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/3959\",\"name\":\"3959\",\"thumbnail\":{\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2024\\\/07\\\/President-Draupadi-Murmu-In-Puri-.jpg\",\"alt\":\"\"},\"title\":\"President spends some time at sea beach of Puri\",\"excerpt\":\"\",\"content\":\"New Delhi : The President of India, Droupadi Murmu spent some time this morning (July 8, 2024) at the sea beach of the holy city of Puri, a day after participating in the annual Rath Yatra. Later she penned her thoughts about the experience of being in close commune with nature.\\r\\n\\r\\nHere is the text that was posted on X: \\u201cThere are places that bring us in closer touch with the essence of life and remind us that we are part of nature. Mountains, forests, rivers and seashores appeal to something deep within us. As I walked along the seashore today, I felt a communion with the surroundings \\u2013 the gentle wind, the roar of the waves, and the immense expanse of water. It was a meditative experience.\\r\\n\\r\\nIt brought to me a profound inner peace that I had also felt when I had a darshan of Mahaprabhu Shri Jagannathji yesterday. And I am not alone in having such an experience; all of us can feel that way when we encounter something that is far larger than us, that sustains us and that makes our lives meaningful.\\r\\n\\r\\nIn the hustle and bustle of the daily grind, we lose this connection with Mother Nature. Humankind believes it has mastered nature and is exploiting it for its own short-term benefits. The result is for all to see. This summer, many parts of India suffered a terrible series of heatwaves. Extreme weather events have become more frequent around the globe in recent years. The situation is projected to be far worse in the decades to come.\\r\\n\\r\\nMore than seventy percent of the surface of the earth is made up of oceans, and global warming is leading to a rise in global sea levels, threatening to submerge coastal areas. The oceans and the rich variety of flora and fauna found there have suffered heavily due to different kinds of pollution.\\r\\n\\r\\nFortunately, people living in nature\\u2019s lap have sustained traditions that can show us the way. Inhabitants of coastal areas, for example, know the language of the winds and waves of the sea. Following our ancestors, they worship the sea as God.\\r\\n\\r\\nThere are two ways, I believe, to meet the challenge of protection and conservation of the environment; broader steps that can come from governments and international organisations, and smaller, local steps that we can take as citizens. The two are, of course, complementary. Let us pledge to do what we can do \\u2013 individually, locally \\u2013 for the sake of a better tomorrow. We owe it to our children.\\u201d\\r\\n\\r\\n&nbsp;\",\"author\":{\"name\":\"schooltimesindia\",\"link\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/author\\\/schooltimesindia\"},\"date\":\"Jul 8, 2024\",\"dateGMT\":\"2024-07-08 07:16:45\",\"modifiedDate\":\"2024-07-08 12:48:07\",\"modifiedDateGMT\":\"2024-07-08 07:18:07\",\"commentCount\":\"0\",\"commentStatus\":\"open\",\"categories\":{\"coma\":\"<a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/latest-news\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Latest News<\\\/a>\",\"space\":\"<a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/latest-news\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Latest News<\\\/a>\"},\"taxonomies\":{\"post_tag\":\"\"},\"readTime\":{\"min\":2,\"sec\":8},\"status\":\"publish\"},{\"id\":3957,\"link\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/3957\",\"name\":\"nta-released-answer-key-for-cuet-ug-2024-result-soon\",\"thumbnail\":{\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2019\\\/05\\\/NTA.jpg\",\"alt\":\"\"},\"title\":\"NTA released answer key for CUET-UG 2024, Result Soon\",\"excerpt\":\"\",\"content\":\"New Delhi: The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Sunday released the answer key for the Common University Entrance Test-Undergraduate (CUET-UG 2024).

Nadu), 11 July : The Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA), the apex think tank of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India, inaugurated its widely industry leading Directors' Certification Master Class in the serene hills of Ooty, Tamil Nadu yesterday. The event, held from 10 to 12 July 2024, brings together over 50 participants representing the boards of leading organizations across India to enhance their corporate governance acumen.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe inaugural session was graced by esteemed dignitaries, including Dr. Ajay Bhushan Pandey, Chairman of the National Financial Reporting Authority (NFRA) and the Director General &amp; CEO of IICA; Ms. Neera Saggi, Independent Director on the boards of multiple companies including Tata Steel and GE Power; Mr. Shailesh Haribhakti, Board Chairman, Audit Committee Chair, and Independent Director in several leading organizations\\r\\nIn his keynote address, Dr. Ajay Bhushan Pandey highlighted the essential role of corporate governance in today's economy and society. He emphasized the importance of audit committees and independent auditors in maintaining corporate integrity and sustainability, referencing historical cases like Kreuger &amp; Toll and McKesson &amp; Robbins to illustrate the evolution of regulatory frameworks.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\\"Sound corporate governance is the bedrock of a robust corporate sector,\\\" he stated, stressing its crucial contribution to sustainable growth. Dr. Pandey outlined five key defenses in corporate governance: management, audit committees and independent directors, financial reporting frameworks and auditors, investors\\\/shareholders and lenders, and independent regulators like NFRA. He urged audit committees to engage deeply with key audit standards and review NFRA disciplinary orders regularly. Additionally, he emphasized the importance of Key Audit Matters (KAM) and Emphasis of Matters (EOMs), advocating for active engagement with auditors to ensure transparent reporting.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nDr. Pandey concluded by underscoring the primary responsibility of corporate boards to protect shareholders\\u2019 interests and ensure good governance. He recommended directors familiarize themselves with NFRA's review reports and disciplinary orders. Quoting Healy and Palepu from Harvard Business School, he suggested evolving audit committees into \\\"transparency committees\\\" to give investors a clearer understanding of a company's economic reality.\\r\\n\\r\\nDuring the inaugural session, Dr. Pandey also highlighted a new collaborative initiative between IICA and NFRA to launch specialized training modules aimed at enhancing the skills and knowledge of accounting professionals, auditors, and independent directors. These courses, which will count towards the continuing professional learning requirements for chartered accountants, are designed to prepare auditors and independent directors to manage large companies with diverse shareholder bases and meet global standards. The training modules will include nine-month courses for auditors and accountants, with online classes held two to three days a week, and shorter courses for independent directors lasting three to six months. Developed with input from top industry experts, these courses aim to provide practical and valuable learning experiences.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe Directors' Certification Master Class continues over the next two days, featuring sessions led by distinguished speakers and industry experts. Notable speakers include Mr. Nawshir Mirza, Independent Director at Thermax Ltd; Mr. Vivek Talwar, Former Chief Sustainability Officer at Tata Group; Mr. Puneet Gupta, Managing Director at Protiviti India; Dr. Anil Kumar, Independent Director at LIC of India; CA Mohan R.

Currently, 5116 KGBVs are functional in 30 States\\\/UTs in the country.\\r\\n\\r\\nProviding ICT labs and Smart classrooms to girls in KGBVs is crucial as the students of KGBV come from disadvantaged backgrounds and face various obstacles in accessing education, including distance, cultural norms, and safety concerns. Access to digital literacy is vital for their personal as well as professional growth. It will also help in reducing the digital divide.\\r\\n\\r\\nIn this era of rapid development and integration of ICT with our lives and livelihood, it is crucial that students from all walks of life get the opportunity to equip themselves with modern-day technology. ICT is integrated into the school curriculum to ensure adequate experiential exposure to the students, especially those belonging to disadvantaged groups.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe provision of ICT facilities will ensure that the students of KGBV have better access to the digital platforms\\\/resources of the Department of School Education and Literacy such as SWAYAM, SWAYAM PRABHA, National Digital Library, e-Pathshala, National Repository of Open Educational Resources, DIKSHA, etc. This will improve their learning outcomes.\",\"author\":{\"name\":\"schooltimesindia\",\"link\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/author\\\/schooltimesindia\"},\"date\":\"Jul 3, 2024\",\"dateGMT\":\"2024-07-03 16:05:40\",\"modifiedDate\":\"2024-07-03 21:35:40\",\"modifiedDateGMT\":\"2024-07-03 16:05:40\",\"commentCount\":\"0\",\"commentStatus\":\"open\",\"categories\":{\"coma\":\"<a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/education\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Education News<\\\/a>, <a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/latest-news\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Latest News<\\\/a>, <a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/whats-hot\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">What's Hot<\\\/a>\",\"space\":\"<a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/education\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Education News<\\\/a> <a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/latest-news\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Latest News<\\\/a> <a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/whats-hot\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">What's Hot<\\\/a>\"},\"taxonomies\":{\"post_tag\":\"\"},\"readTime\":{\"min\":1,\"sec\":34},\"status\":\"publish\"},{\"id\":3921,\"link\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/3921\",\"name\":\"self-nominations-open-for-national-teachers-award-2024-till-15th-july-2024\",\"thumbnail\":{\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2024\\\/07\\\/National-teachers-Award-2024-.jpg\",\"alt\":\"\"},\"title\":\"Self-nominations open for National Teachers\\u2019 Award 2024 till 15th July 2024\",\"excerpt\":\"\",\"content\":\"New Delhi : Online self-nominations from eligible teachers for National Teachers' Awards 2024 are being invited with effect from 27 June 2024 on the Ministry of Education\\u2019s portal\\u00a0 http:\\\/\\\/nationalawardstoteachers.education.gov.in.\\u00a0 The last date for receiving online nominations is 15 July 2024.

Addressing the convocation ceremony of Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) in Udupi, Karnataka on November 18, 2022, Shri Rajnath Singh stated that the world is acknowledging the power of the country\\u2019s young ignited minds, with major companies such as Google, Microsoft, Adobe and IBM hiring Indians at respectable positions.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\u201cIf Indians can help major firms grow across the globe, why can\\u2019t we set up top companies here?\\u201d the Raksha Mantri asked around 5,000 students in attendance, urging them to introspect and bring a transformative change in the country. He credited the growing prowess of the Indian start-up ecosystem to the capabilities, talents and ignited minds of the youth. \\u201cEarlier, there was no start-up ecosystem in the country. Before 2014, there were only around 400-500 start-ups. Today, the number has crossed 70,000. Of these, over 100 have become unicorns,\\u201d he said.\\r\\n\\r\\nShri\\u00a0 Singh exhorted the students to focus on gaining wisdom more than just acquiring knowledge from books. \\u201cObtaining knowledge from books isn\\u2019t enough. Wisdom ensures optimum use of that knowledge, which is crucial to take the country to greater heights. It frees from limitations such as incapacity, poverty, unemployment and backwardness. It widens the scope of thinking and sensibilities. It helps a person rise above selfish interests and work for social, national and global welfare,\\u201d he said.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe Raksha Mantri also urged the students to get acquainted with the rich cultural traditions of the country and strive to restore its glorious past. \\u201cIndia was a pioneer in many fields such as science, economics, history, political science and public administration. It slowly lost its glory due to foreign invasions. We must restore our past glory, for which economic progress is central,\\u201d he said.\\r\\n\\r\\nDescribing the present era as knowledge-intensive and constantly-evolving, Shri Rajnath Singh called for upgrading the quality and quantity of human capital, pivotal for the development of a country. Technological capabilities and innovative flair of the citizens is the most decisive factor in taking a nation forward, he said, stressing that the Government is providing proper educational and employment opportunities to the youth.\\r\\n\\r\\nOn the National Education Policy 2020, the Raksha Mantri stated that the objective is to shape the young generation as global citizens through traditional and modern knowledge. \\u201cYouth is our most valuable asset and engine of growth. Our youth army will play an important role in achieving the target of $5 trillion economy by 2025. According to a report by US banking group Morgan Stanley, India is set to become the world\\u2019s third-largest economy in the next 5-6 years. This emerging power of India has been termed as \\u2018once-in-a-generation shift\\u2019. This is just the beginning. I am confident that India will become the largest economy by 2047,\\u201d he said.\\r\\n\\r\\nShedding more light on India\\u2019s transformed global image under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rajnath Singh stated that New Delhi is now listened to with attention and seriousness on international platforms. \\u201cIndia has led the world on issues like terrorism and has been successful in garnering support to root out the menace. The countries, which use terrorism as a tool, are now well aware of India\\u2019s capabilities. India does not provoke any country, nor does it spare anyone who tries to harm its unity and integrity,\\u201d he said.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe Raksha Mantri lauded Manipal Group of Educational Institutions for their contribution to education and research. He congratulated the graduating students, encouraging them to move forward despite hurdles to create a better future. He extended special congratulations to the girl students, exuding confidence that they will be the pillars of a strong and prosperous \\u2018New India\\u2019.\\r\\n\\r\\nPro-Chancellor, MAHE Dr Hebri

inaugurates Directors' Certification Master Class in Ooty\",\"excerpt\":\"\",\"content\":\"-50 Representatives of the boards of leading organizations participated\\u00a0\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nOoty (Tamil Nadu), 11 July : The Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA), the apex think tank of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India, inaugurated its widely industry leading Directors' Certification Master Class in the serene hills of Ooty, Tamil Nadu yesterday. The event, held from 10 to 12 July 2024, brings together over 50 participants representing the boards of leading organizations across India to enhance their corporate governance acumen.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe inaugural session was graced by esteemed dignitaries, including Dr. Ajay Bhushan Pandey, Chairman of the National Financial Reporting Authority (NFRA) and the Director General &amp; CEO of IICA; Ms. Neera Saggi, Independent Director on the boards of multiple companies including Tata Steel and GE Power; Mr. Shailesh Haribhakti, Board Chairman, Audit Committee Chair, and Independent Director in several leading organizations\\r\\nIn his keynote address, Dr. Ajay Bhushan Pandey highlighted the essential role of corporate governance in today's economy and society. He emphasized the importance of audit committees and independent auditors in maintaining corporate integrity and sustainability, referencing historical cases like Kreuger &amp; Toll and McKesson &amp; Robbins to illustrate the evolution of regulatory frameworks.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\\"Sound corporate governance is the bedrock of a robust corporate sector,\\\" he stated, stressing its crucial contribution to sustainable growth. Dr. Pandey outlined five key defenses in corporate governance: management, audit committees and independent directors, financial reporting frameworks and auditors, investors\\\/shareholders and lenders, and independent regulators like NFRA. He urged audit committees to engage deeply with key audit standards and review NFRA disciplinary orders regularly. Additionally, he emphasized the importance of Key Audit Matters (KAM) and Emphasis of Matters (EOMs), advocating for active engagement with auditors to ensure transparent reporting.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nDr. Pandey concluded by underscoring the primary responsibility of corporate boards to protect shareholders\\u2019 interests and ensure good governance. He recommended directors familiarize themselves with NFRA's review reports and disciplinary orders. Quoting Healy and Palepu from Harvard Business School, he suggested evolving audit committees into \\\"transparency committees\\\" to give investors a clearer understanding of a company's economic reality.\\r\\n\\r\\nDuring the inaugural session, Dr. Pandey also highlighted a new collaborative initiative between IICA and NFRA to launch specialized training modules aimed at enhancing the skills and knowledge of accounting professionals, auditors, and independent directors. These courses, which will count towards the continuing professional learning requirements for chartered accountants, are designed to prepare auditors and independent directors to manage large companies with diverse shareholder bases and meet global standards. The training modules will include nine-month courses for auditors and accountants, with online classes held two to three days a week, and shorter courses for independent directors lasting three to six months. Developed with input from top industry experts, these courses aim to provide practical and valuable learning experiences.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe Directors' Certification Master Class continues over the next two days, featuring sessions led by distinguished speakers and industry experts. Notable speakers include Mr. Nawshir Mirza, Independent Director at Thermax Ltd; Mr. Vivek Talwar, Former Chief Sustainability Officer at Tata Group; Mr. Puneet Gupta, Managing Director at Protiviti India; Dr. Anil Kumar, Independent Director at LIC of India; CA Mohan R. Lavi, Board Advisor; and Dr. Mahendra Chouhan, Former Chairman of Fino Payments Bank; Mr. Nagendra Rao, Past President of ICSI and Mr. PS Jayakumar, Former MD &amp; CEO of Bank of Baroda.\\r\\n\\r\\nFostering an environment of learning and collaboration, equipping participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in their roles as directors and governance professionals - this three-day program is led by Dr. Niraj Gupta, Head of the School of Corporate Governance &amp; Public Policy (SoCGPP) at IICA, and supported by Mr. Manoj Singh and Mr. Mathew John, Chief Program Executives at IICA.\",\"author\":{\"name\":\"schooltimesindia\",\"link\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/author\\\/schooltimesindia\"},\"date\":\"Jul 11, 2024\",\"dateGMT\":\"2024-07-11 10:59:13\",\"modifiedDate\":\"2024-07-11 16:31:13\",\"modifiedDateGMT\":\"2024-07-11 11:01:13\",\"commentCount\":\"0\",\"commentStatus\":\"open\",\"categories\":{\"coma\":\"<a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/college-events\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">College Events<\\\/a>, <a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/education\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Education News<\\\/a>, <a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/latest-news\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Latest News<\\\/a>\",\"space\":\"<a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/college-events\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">College Events<\\\/a> <a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/education\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Education News<\\\/a> <a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/latest-news\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Latest News<\\\/a>\"},\"taxonomies\":{\"post_tag\":\"\"},\"readTime\":{\"min\":3,\"sec\":5},\"status\":\"publish\"},{\"id\":3959,\"link\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/3959\",\"name\":\"3959\",\"thumbnail\":{\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2024\\\/07\\\/President-Draupadi-Murmu-In-Puri-.jpg\",\"alt\":\"\"},\"title\":\"President spends some time at sea beach of Puri\",\"excerpt\":\"\",\"content\":\"New Delhi : The President of India, Droupadi Murmu spent some time this morning (July 8, 2024) at the sea beach of the holy city of Puri, a day after participating in the annual Rath Yatra. Later she penned her thoughts about the experience of being in close commune with nature.\\r\\n\\r\\nHere is the text that was posted on X: \\u201cThere are places that bring us in closer touch with the essence of life and remind us that we are part of nature. Mountains, forests, rivers and seashores appeal to something deep within us. As I walked along the seashore today, I felt a communion with the surroundings \\u2013 the gentle wind, the roar of the waves, and the immense expanse of water. It was a meditative experience.\\r\\n\\r\\nIt brought to me a profound inner peace that I had also felt when I had a darshan of Mahaprabhu Shri Jagannathji yesterday. And I am not alone in having such an experience; all of us can feel that way when we encounter something that is far larger than us, that sustains us and that makes our lives meaningful.\\r\\n\\r\\nIn the hustle and bustle of the daily grind, we lose this connection with Mother Nature. Humankind believes it has mastered nature and is exploiting it for its own short-term benefits. The result is for all to see. This summer, many parts of India suffered a terrible series of heatwaves. Extreme weather events have become more frequent around the globe in recent years. The situation is projected to be far worse in the decades to come.\\r\\n\\r\\nMore than seventy percent of the surface of the earth is made up of oceans, and global warming is leading to a rise in global sea levels, threatening to submerge coastal areas. The oceans and the rich variety of flora and fauna found there have suffered heavily due to different kinds of pollution.\\r\\n\\r\\nFortunately, people living in nature\\u2019s lap have sustained traditions that can show us the way. Inhabitants of coastal areas, for example, know the language of the winds and waves of the sea. Following our ancestors, they worship the sea as God.\\r\\n\\r\\nThere are two ways, I believe, to meet the challenge of protection and conservation of the environment; broader steps that can come from governments and international organisations, and smaller, local steps that we can take as citizens. The two are, of course, complementary. Let us pledge to do what we can do \\u2013 individually, locally \\u2013 for the sake of a better tomorrow. We owe it to our children.\\u201d\\r\\n\\r\\n&nbsp;\",\"author\":{\"name\":\"schooltimesindia\",\"link\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/author\\\/schooltimesindia\"},\"date\":\"Jul 8, 2024\",\"dateGMT\":\"2024-07-08 07:16:45\",\"modifiedDate\":\"2024-07-08 12:48:07\",\"modifiedDateGMT\":\"2024-07-08 07:18:07\",\"commentCount\":\"0\",\"commentStatus\":\"open\",\"categories\":{\"coma\":\"<a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/latest-news\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Latest News<\\\/a>\",\"space\":\"<a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/latest-news\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Latest News<\\\/a>\"},\"taxonomies\":{\"post_tag\":\"\"},\"readTime\":{\"min\":2,\"sec\":8},\"status\":\"publish\"},{\"id\":3957,\"link\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/3957\",\"name\":\"nta-released-answer-key-for-cuet-ug-2024-result-soon\",\"thumbnail\":{\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2019\\\/05\\\/NTA.jpg\",\"alt\":\"\"},\"title\":\"NTA released answer key for CUET-UG 2024, Result Soon\",\"excerpt\":\"\",\"content\":\"New Delhi: The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Sunday released the answer key for the Common University Entrance Test-Undergraduate (CUET-UG 2024).

Carbon In The Form of Gas Hydrates Deep Under Water: Study\",\"excerpt\":\"\",\"content\":\"Amazing facts\\r\\nA new study finds that the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean can serve as potential carbon sinks by storing gas hydrates in depths beyond 2,800 metres.\\r\\n* The findings can help India achieve its national decarbonisation and climate change goals for 2030.\\r\\n* However, technologies are in their preliminary stage and require funding to be tested.\\r\\n\\r\\nNew research from India indicates that the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean can potentially serve as storage sinks for large amounts of carbon dioxide in the form of gas hydrates. A gas hydrate is formed when gas molecules bind with hydrogen atom to form a network of water molecules, resembling ice.\\r\\n\\r\\nCarbon can be permanently stored as gas hydrates in oceans beyond depths of 500 metres, according to the study by scientists from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras, in Fuel journal.\\r\\n\\r\\nAbove 2,800 metres, liquid carbon dioxide is denser than seawater, and hence there is a natural gravitational barrier to its escape from water. \\\"Thus, beyond 2,800 m. sea depth, carbon dioxide can be stored permanently in the form of liquid pool and solid hydrate,\\\" Jitendra Sangwai, a professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering at IIT-Madras and one of the authors of the research paper, told Mongabay-India.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe study focuses on the formation of carbon dioxide hydrates in bentonite clay slurry in seawater. The subsea clay sediments improve the mechanical and thermal stability of gas hydrates, which help for long-term carbon dioxide storage potential, he adds.\\r\\n\\r\\nOcean depth is key to carbon storage. Sequestration using gas hydrates is possible beyond a depth of 500 metres, but carbon's permanent storage space in the sea lies below 2,800 metres. Since not all oceans may have a depth of 2,800 metres with the possibility of permanent storage, oceans with depths of 1,000 metres can also be considered for carbon sequestration.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\\"The initial investigation delves into the kinetics of hydrate formation, examining factors such as conversion efficiency, gas absorption, and release using seawater,\\\" said Sangwai. The team's observations indicate that clay plays a significant role by improving conversion efficiency, facilitating gas absorption into hydrates, and prolonging hydrate stability.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\\"The capture of carbon dioxide can lead to the creation of environmentally friendly gas hydrates, resembling ice,\\\" says Sangwai. Approximately 150-170 cubic metres of carbon dioxide can be sequestered by one cubic metre of gas hydrate in the pores of subsea sediments under oceanic conditions beyond 500 metres sea depth, he adds.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\\"The key finding of this research is that it can help devise large-scale carbon dioxide storage and utilise the fullest potential of oceans to decarbonise the world without harming marine ecology,\\\" says Sangwai. This research can also help India achieve its national decarbonisation and climate change goals, which is to decarbonise energy to 50% and generate 500 gigawatts of fossil fuel-free energy by 2030.\\r\\n\\r\\nFrom research to tech\\r\\n\\\"Oceans do a lot of carbon absorption. It is a natural process,\\\" says Madhavan Nair Rajeevan, vice chancellor of Atria University, Bengaluru, and former secretary, Ministry of Earth Sciences.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\\"But studies suggest we need more carbon absorption or carbon capturing,\\\" he says. There are a few options, and ocean sequestration is one of them, which, Rajeevan adds, is theoretically possible but difficult to implement. Rajeevan is also dubious about the viability of such initiatives.\\r\\n\\r\\nSangwai says he believes that further investments are needed to take the findings to a workable technology for the development of large-scale facilities for carbon capture, transportation, and sequestration. Nevertheless, existing oil and natural gas infrastructure can be repurposed for injection and storage purposes. \\\"Establishing these infrastructures demands substantial initial investments, necessitating collaboration between industry and academia,\\\" says Sangwai.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe financial requirement could be reduced by identifying carbon-intensive industries such as steel, coal, cement, and power near the seashore and selecting a sequestration site not beyond 500 km from the land mass to avoid additional transportation costs.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe current financial projections for a single carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) cycle involving ocean hydrates - which involves capturing the carbon emissions at source, transporting it to the storage site, and storing it - range from $90-150; and costs vary depending on the geological location of the sequestration site, labour costs, and transportation expenses. \\\"Considering these factors, government support, industry partnerships, and a minimum timeframe of five to six years are necessary to initiate a large-scale CCS programme in the subsea sediments of the Bay of Bengal,\\\" adds Sangwai.\\r\\n\\r\\nOptions for ocean carbon sinks\\r\\nCarbon dioxide can also be stored in subsea sediments which will have less impact on marine ecology. The subsea sediments have tiny spaces that can hold the gas and over the period of time stored gas form ice-like gas hydrate crystals in the pores. This will further reduce the permeability of hydrate-bearing sediments and create a permeability barrier. \\\"Oceans depths exceeding 1,000 metres present opportunities for carbon dioxide sequestration in subsea sediments,\\\" says Sangwai. Other factors also impact the process, such as an increase in temperature with ocean depth or 'geothermal gradient', along with sediment composition and porosity.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\\"Sequestration in subsea sediments is the most environment-friendly approach to sequester giga tonnes of carbon dioxide without affecting marine ecology,\\\" he adds. All subsea sediments contain clay that is deposited by the rivers over the course of millions of years. These clays may affect carbon dioxide hydrate formation.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe IIT-M findings, while focusing more on the chemical dynamics of seabed clay and carbon dioxide, add to previous reports of oceans' potential to act as carbon sinks, one of the key threads of discussions in UN climate change summits.\\r\\n\\r\\nFor example, a 2023 report on the role of oceans in climate change solutions says that ocean-based action can play a critical role in helping the world avoid the worst impacts of climate change by closing the emissions gap by as much as 35%, based on solutions that are ready to implement on a pathway that can limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C by 2050.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe report cites seven potential ocean-based options to reduce emissions, which includes the removal of marine carbon dioxide, and carbon capture and storage under the seabed. The others include scaling ocean-based renewable energy; decarbonising ocean-based transport; conserving and restoring coastal and marine ecosystems; utilising low-carbon food from oceans; decarbonising ocean-based tourism; and reducing offshore oil and gas.\\r\\n\\r\\nAccording to a World Resources Institute report, such 'biotic' or biological-based approaches to help oceans sequester carbon \\\"leverage photosynthesising organisms in seawater to take up carbon dioxide and store that carbon as biomass. For example, seaweeds can be grown and then sunk into the deep ocean or the seafloor, storing a portion of the carbon-rich biomass. Similarly, oceans can be 'fertilised' by adding nutrients such as iron to stimulate growth of phytoplankton which can take up carbon dioxide, convert it to biomass, and help sequester carbon. Another technique is 'artificial upwelling' by moving deeper, nutrient-rich water to the surface, rather than adding new nutrients, to spur the growth of ocean plant organisms.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe WRI report says there are also 'abiotic' methods that harness the physical or chemical properties of the ocean to remove carbon dioxide from the air and, hence, do not rely on marine organisms to sequester carbon. For example, one can increase the alkalinity of oceans by adding certain minerals that can help dissolve more carbon dioxide in seawater for storage. Another potential option is the use of electrochemical techniques that use electricity to increase alkalinity enhancement or directly extract carbon dioxide from seawater for storage on land.\\r\\n\\r\\nIt also cautions that \\\"most ocean carbon removal approaches are at an early stage of development, with little or no testing done in the field.\\\"\\r\\n\\r\\n\\\"It is not yet clear how effective these approaches would be at removing carbon, how that could change depending on a project's scale or location, how long the carbon would remain sequestered, or what impact these approaches might have on ocean ecosystems or people whose livelihoods depend on them,\\\" it says.\\r\\n\\r\\nAmazing facts Amazing facts Amazing facts Amazing facts Amazing facts Amazing facts Amazing facts Amazing facts Amazing facts Amazing facts Amazing facts Amazing facts\\u00a0\",\"author\":{\"name\":\"schooltimesindia\",\"link\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/author\\\/schooltimesindia\"},\"date\":\"Jun 25, 2024\",\"dateGMT\":\"2024-06-25 08:58:17\",\"modifiedDate\":\"2024-06-25 14:28:17\",\"modifiedDateGMT\":\"2024-06-25 08:58:17\",\"commentCount\":\"0\",\"commentStatus\":\"open\",\"categories\":{\"coma\":\"<a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/exclusive\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Exclusive<\\\/a>, <a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/latest-news\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Latest News<\\\/a>, <a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/science-stream\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Science Stream<\\\/a>\",\"space\":\"<a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/exclusive\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Exclusive<\\\/a> <a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/latest-news\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Latest News<\\\/a> <a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/science-stream\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Science Stream<\\\/a>\"},\"taxonomies\":{\"post_tag\":\"\"},\"readTime\":{\"min\":6,\"sec\":46},\"status\":\"publish\"},{\"id\":3901,\"link\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/3901\",\"name\":\"dr-jitendra-singh-launches-one-week-one-theme-owot-campaign\",\"thumbnail\":{\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2024\\\/06\\\/One-Week-One-Theme-.jpg\",\"alt\":\"\"},\"title\":\"Dr. Jitendra Singh launches \\\"One Week One Theme\\\" (OWOT) campaign\",\"excerpt\":\"\",\"content\":\"New Delhi : Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology, Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Earth Sciences, MoS PMO, Department of Atomic Energy, Department of Space, Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions Dr. Jitendra Singh today launched \\\"One Week One Theme\\\" (OWOT) campaign showcasing recent success stories of India in different streams of science and technology.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\u201cOur aim is to integrate the efforts of all CSIR labs working on similar projects to reduce overlap and optimize resources,\\u201d said Dr. Jitendra Singh and said, the \\u2018One Week One Theme\\u2019 initiative under Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) aims to make innovation inclusive for all.\\r\\n\\r\\n&nbsp;\\r\\n\\r\\nPertinent to mention, \\u2018One week One Theme\\u2019 is the brainchild of Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh. \\u2018OWOT\\u2019 is built on the legacy and success of the \\u2018One Week One Lab\\u2019 (OWOL) initiative started last year.

It is a medium that requires less power and has a lower hardware cost. This technology is supported and used on many devices like mobile phones, smartphones, speakers, headphones, medical devices, and advanced electronic systems. This medium made the lives of people easier and faster. Nowadays, IOT (short for Internet of Things) is gaining momentum and BT is one of the core parts of IOT.\\n\\nIn 1989 Ericsson, which is a Swedish multinational networking and telecommunications company, started the development of \\u201cshort link\\u201d (later named as Bluetooth). By 1997, Ericsson developed a workable solution for developing wireless headsets. Also, in 1997 IBM and Ericsson collaborated to integrate Ericsson\\u2019s mobile phones into IBM\\u2019s \\u201cThinkPad\\u201d notebook but the integration failed because they were unable to reach power requirements. But they integrated Ericsson\\u2019s \\u201cShort-Link\\u201d technology on both devices.\\n\\nAs both products were quite unpopular at that time, they made \\u201cShort-Link\\u201d an open industry standard. After seeing the potential of \\u201cBluetooth\\u201d, Intel, Nokia, and Toshiba joined with IBM and Ericsson and formed a Special Interest Group (SIG) in May 1998, they launched Bluetooth SIG to standardize this technology and create new advancements.\\n\\nThe first BT device was launched in 1999 which was a hands-free mobile headset used with mobile phones. Then, in 2001 Ericsson launched the first BT mobile phone T39 and after that, IBM launched its first BT notebook \\u201cThinkPad A30\\u201d in October 2001.\\n\\nThis technology is a widely used medium in electronic devices because of its advantages like lower power consumption, lower manufacturing costs, reliability, and security. This wireless communication medium uses a frequency band between 2.400 GHz to 2.4835 GHz which is a globally unlicensed short-range radio frequency band. The maximum data transfer speed is 3 Mbps.\\n\\nAlso, it uses Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying modulation which uses a frequency hopping technique to prevent interference in the 2.4 GHz band and leads to smoother data transition. However this technology has some limitations in comparison to Wi-Fi as BT has a limited range of 10 meters, so it restricts the data transfer for short distances, also the data transfer speed is slower than Wi-Fi and it is more prone to interference from other BT devices as 2.4GHz is a busy band.\\n\\nThe SIG has launched different versions of BT wireless medium over the years like Version 1.0 (1999), 2.0 + EDR (2004), 3.0 + HS (2009), 4.0 (2010) and 5.0(2016).\\n\\nBluetooth 1.0:\\n\\nLaunch Year: 1999\\n\\nKey Features: Wireless connectivity between electronic devices for short-range communications between them.\\n\\nLimitations: Limited data transfer rates, primarily suited for audio transmission and basic data synchronization.\\n\\nBluetooth 2.x +EDR:\\n\\nLaunch Year: 2004\\n\\nKey Features:\\n\\n \\tEnhanced Data Rates (EDR) for faster data transfer and speed up to 3 Mbps.\\n \\tImproved power consumption and security features.\\n \\tSupport for pairing devices using Secure Simple Pairing (SSP) and Extended Inquiry Response (EIR).

And the applications of BT are also increasing in proportion to its versions. BT is being used as a medium in devices like wearable health monitors, Medical Implants and Prosthetics, Headphones, smart watches, smartphones, IoT devices for home automation (like door locks, Electrical Devices and so on), and other electronic devices.\\n\\nFuture Aspects\\n\\nIn Future, the SIG is going to launch Version 6.0 and the expected features are, while specific details about BT 6.0 are not available, it is expected to continue the trend of improving range, speed, and efficiency while introducing new features to support emerging use cases such as IoT, wearables, and smart home devices.\",\"author\":{\"name\":\"schooltimesindia\",\"link\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/author\\\/schooltimesindia\"},\"date\":\"Mar 24, 2024\",\"dateGMT\":\"2024-03-24 14:26:41\",\"modifiedDate\":\"2024-03-24 23:19:40\",\"modifiedDateGMT\":\"2024-03-24 17:49:40\",\"commentCount\":\"0\",\"commentStatus\":\"open\",\"categories\":{\"coma\":\"<a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/latest-news\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Latest News<\\\/a>, <a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/science-stream\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Science Stream<\\\/a>\",\"space\":\"<a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/latest-news\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Latest News<\\\/a> <a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/category\\\/science-stream\\\" rel=\\\"category tag\\\">Science Stream<\\\/a>\"},\"taxonomies\":{\"post_tag\":\"<a href='https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/tag\\\/technology' rel='post_tag'>technology<\\\/a>\"},\"readTime\":{\"min\":4,\"sec\":32},\"status\":\"publish\"},{\"id\":3775,\"link\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/archives\\\/3775\",\"name\":\"iit-madras-to-conduct-iit-jam-2024-registration-will-start-on\",\"thumbnail\":{\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schooltimesindia.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/08\\\/3-1.jpg\",\"alt\":\"IIT JAM 2024\"},\"title\":\"IIT Madras to Conduct IIT JAM 2024, Registration will Start on..............\",\"excerpt\":\"\",\"content\":\"IIT JAM 2024\\r\\nNew Delhi: IIT JAM 2024:\\u00a0 Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay has announced the launch of the official website for JAM 2024 - jam.iitm.ac.in.

As the agency innovates for the benefit of humanity, many of these programs are now downloadable and free of charge through NASA\\u2019s Software Catalog.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe 2023-2024\\u00a0Software Catalog\\u00a0contains more than 1,000 programs, including dozens of new packages added this year.\\r\\n\\r\\nAmong the 15 different categories of NASA software available through the catalog is environmental science. Whether it means helping farmers navigate crop-destroying\\u00a0droughts, tracking deadly storms such as\\u00a0hurricanes\\u00a0and tornadoes, or mapping\\u00a0floods, fires, and more, NASA\\u2019s fleet of Earth-observation satellites allows an \\u201ceye-in-the-sky\\u201d advantage to spot events, features, and long-term trends on our ever-changing planet.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\\"By making our innovations available to the public, we fulfill our goal of helping NASA's research and technology development find new uses beyond space exploration,\\u201d said Daniel Lockney, program executive for the agency\\u2019s Technology Transfer program at NASA Headquarters in Washington. \\u201cWe\\u2019re proud to make NASA software more accessible through our easy-to-use website, and we are dedicated to continuing this \\u2018customer-service\\u2019 approach to software release.\\u201d\\r\\n\\r\\nAmong the environmental science software included in the catalog are:\\r\\n\\r\\n \\tA\\u00a0popular modeling software that\\u00a0provides values for atmospheric parameters, such as temperature and winds, for any month and location in Earth\\u2019s atmosphere\\r\\n \\tA\\u00a0geospatial system\\u00a0for disaster response using low-cost hardware such as digital cameras or cellphones\\r\\n \\tA cloud-based toolkit that allows collaboration among researchers in\\u00a0Earth science\\r\\n \\tAn algorithm to accurately forecast\\u00a0lighting strikes\\r\\n \\tA framework that combines maps with satellite-based rainfall estimates to identify potential\\u00a0landslide hazards\\r\\n \\tA\\u00a0platform\\u00a0built for interactive browsing of near-real-time satellite imagery to help with time-critical scenarios such as wildfires or flooding\\r\\n\\r\\nNASA scientists and software experts, who use satellite data and more to better understand Earth, will be available to answer questions about free agency resources at 12 p.m. EDT, Wednesday, Aug. 16, during a Reddit \\u201cAsk me Anything.\\u201d Join or follow the discussion online using the \\\/r\\\/AskScience subreddit.\\r\\n\\r\\nTo complement the Software Catalog, NASA\\u2019s Technology Transfer program has also built a\\u00a0Remote Sensing Toolkit. The web-based set of tools helps users find, analyze, and use the most relevant satellite data for research, business projects, or conservation efforts.\\r\\n\\r\\nBeyond environmental science, the catalog also includes software packages for system testing, aeronautics, business systems and project management, data and image processing, crew and life support, and more.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe Software Catalog is a product of NASA\\u2019s\\u00a0Technology Transfer program, managed for the agency by STMD. NASA routinely makes improvements to the Software Catalog website, ensuring the process is fast and easy. The program ensures technologies developed by and for NASA are broadly available to the public, maximizing the benefit to American taxpayers.\\r\\n\\r\\nAccess restrictions apply to some software that may be limited to use by U.S. citizens or for U.S. government purposes only.\\r\\n\\r\\nReview the catalog online at:\\r\\n\\r\\nhttp:\\\/\\\/software.nasa.gov\\r\\n\\r\\nNASA Software Catalog NASA
