Good Governance in Andhra state

A great step towards good governance :-
Chief minister of AP Nara Chandrababu Naidu
words are mentioned below
Lighting the way forward for Renewable Energy
I'm proud to share that despite Andhra Pradesh starting off on a gloomy note with a power deficit, we have been successful in bringing down the deficit from 22 million units per day to zero within 100 days of government.
The Government of India's "24X7 Power For All" has proved to be a big boost for our state. We are supplying 24X7 power to all domestic, commercial and industrial consumers apart from 7 hours of supply to agriculture sector.
That apart, the Government of India has allocated 304 MW from NTPC Jhajjhar and 50MW from NPCL Kudankulam.
We have gradually progressed from a power deficit to a power surplus state. We are now on par with States like Gujarat and Chhattisgarh as far as availability is concerned. We have also built in a spinning reserve of 5 per cent.
Taking a step towards green energy, our state is promoting renewable energy sources. Last year alone, AP Discoms have procured 48,233 Million Units (MU) out of which energy procured from non-conventional energy (NCE) sources was 2,544 Million Units (Wind – 1,545 MU, Solar – 159 MU, Others – 840 MU).
To achieve the targeted solar and wind capacity addition, the state government has released new Solar and Wind policies which provide various incentives to solar and wind developers like cross-subsidy surcharge exemption, transmission and wheeling charges exemption, 100% banking of energy, electricity duty exemption, single-window mechanism,natural calamities 
AP Discoms have already signed Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with solar developers for a cumulative capacity of 619 MW with lower first year tariff of Rs.5.25 per unit. We have also extended the single-window clearance mechanism to enable rapid commissioning of these solar projects.
The state has plans to add 5,030 MW of solar and 4,150 MW of wind power during the next 5 years.
For energy efficiency, we have distributed 41.3 lakh LEDs to domestic households in Guntur, Ananthapur and Srikakulam districts. Further, 90,000 conventional street lights have been replaced with LED street lights in Visakhapatnam. We will cover all the district and urban local bodies by March 2016.
I'm optimistic about the future of renewable energy and t is becoming cheaper and more efficient. I believe it is time to choose renewable solutions.
In promoting renewable energy, we can end our reliance on fossil fuels while creating new economic opportunities in a cleaner, safer and healthier world. I'm confident that this will start with Andhra Pradesh which will lead by example.

The History Behind The 2 Minute Maggi Noodles!!

The History of Julius Maggi MAGGI owes its name to founder Julius Maggi (1846 - 1912), entrepreneur and inventor of the first product to bear the brand - MAGGI Soup Seasoning. Born in Frauenfeld, Switzerland, Julius took over a hammer mill from his father in 1869. At the time the milling industry was in crisis so Julius decided to open up new areas of production. He got in touch with physician Fridolin Schuler who had a concept for improving the nutritional content of meals for the labouring classes by making packaged foods out of milled pulses or legumes. Together they began product development and after two years of experimentation, the first industrially produced leguminous flour was put on the Swiss market in 1884. When the expected market breakthrough failed to occur, Julius went back to the drawing board and created MAGGI ready-to-use soups in in 1886, then launched MAGGI flavouring later in the year. More and more new products followed between 1887 and 1889. Julius op

This is NASA's plan if an asteroid is heading to Earth.

The following are   NASA's plan if an asteroid is heading to Earth  Step 1: A text message would be sent to a team of 12 scientists.  Step 2: The scientist immediately start tracing the asteroid's path  Step 3:  They measure the size of the object and predict the time of impact  Step 4: They confirm with authorities whether the impact is unavoidable.  Step 5: A public statement would then be issued. Photo by  Bryan Goff  on  Unsplash Then NASA and emergency agencies how best to protect the Earth. They have simulated this experiment many times and come up with a few defensive options. They include firing lasers into the asteroid. Crashing a spacecraft into an approaching asteroid is another possibility. As is detonating a bomb next to an incoming object. There is no risk at the moment though. NASA can't detect any asteroid currently heading towards us. No large object is likely to strike for at least several hundred years.
