Eyecatchers-207: Plane flies Doon-Delhi on BIOFUEL
Trailblazer: Plane flies Doon-Delhi on biofuel
Saurabh Sinha | TNN | Updated: Aug 28, 2018, 01:39 IST
DEHRADUN: A SpiceJet
A turboprop aircraft named Haldi became India’s first plane carrying passengers to operate on biofuel when it flew from Dehradun to Delhi on Monday, raising hopes for low-emission flights less dependent on increasingly expensive jet fuel.
The biofuel, derived from the jhatropa plant grown by 500 farmer families in Chhattisgarh, was first tested on a 20-minute flight on Haldi with crew only in Dehradun a day earlier.
After the green fuel performed better than expected, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation cleared the first-ever flight with passengers on Monday.
“The flight result showed biofuel had 1.8% higher energy density than regular aviation turbine fuel,” said.

In part 3 of our special series on
human ancestry, we investigate how closely related we all really are. Basic
math tells us that all humans share ancestors. But you’ll be amazed at how
recently those shared ancestors lived. Thanks to genetic data in the 21st
century, we’re even discovering that we really are all descended from one
mother.

Ancient India was more Technologically
advanced than the West.A video by desciple of Shri Shri RaviShankar ji, Khurshed Batliwala, who is also director
of World Alliance for Youth Empowerment at Ruia College, Mumbai.
With a post graduate in Mathematics
from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, Khurshed Batliwala, or Bawa as
he is fondly known (a nick name that has stuck from his IIT days) is an
extraordinary personality.
In his own words, he decided it was
better to teach people meditation and make them happy rather than teach them
mathematics and make them miserable and thus chose the unconventional and
challenging career path as a faculty member of the Art of Living, sharing the
vision of its founder, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, which is to see a smile on every
face on the planet.
Grateful thanks to Shri Rajiv Narula, Shri
Khurshed Batliwala and YouTube.
