Title: Energy requirements of self dependent India and contribution of thorium : A review Authors: Pathak, Hemant Abstract: India entered the nuclear age on August 4, 1956 by commissioning the first nuclear reactor Apsara. Nuclear reactors became research platforms for the study of the behavior of substances under neutron physics and radiation, and for radioisotope production. Atomic energy has a definite and decisive role in the field of Indian power generation and supply. Thorium is the first element in the metal actinide series. Monazite is its most important source. The largest reserves of monazite in the world are in the state of Kerala, India. India has one fourth of the known thorium reserves, the whole world is struggling with the possibility of future energy crisis and India's energy needs are also increasing day by day. Much of the country's currency is spent on the import of conventional fuels, yet technology has not been developed by which the energy needs can be fully met from the renewable energy sources. In such a situation, thorium is the only ray of hope for the country like India that can successfully meet the energy, nuclear and non-nuclear needs of the country. Page(s): 7-14

Title: Present requirements of drawing up necessary changes in our petroleum usage to alleviate the detrimental aftermath of environmental contamination Authors: Parsoya, Shubham; Perwej, Asif Abstract: Climate change is one of the major issues in the current world. Such climate change-related problems have not only problematic for the environment, but also a major issue for the world as a whole. Orderly and properly analysis made in such regards is the need of the time. And in no cases, there is any time left to ignore such necessary steps for mitigating the negative impacts of climate change on our environment. Climate change-related mitigation is all about reducing the overall release of greenhouse gas emissions that are ultimately heating up our world. Mitigation strategies consist of analyzing and taking necessary steps to make the utilization of natural resources more energy efficient. It includes helping cities in creating more feasible transportation systems, such as increasing the uses of electric vehicles and biofuels in place of crude oils; enhancing the utilization of renewable energy sources such as solar power plants, wind energy-related equipment, and small and large hydropower plants for generating the electricity. Mitigation measures include all such functioning that is undertaken to decrease and control the greenhouse emissions outflows. Adaptations of all such measures can support the reduction in the vulnerability factors which have adverse impacts on global climate and results in climate changes. When we considered the transportation sector of the country India, which heavily depends upon fossil fuel usages. And such led to challenges relating to air pollution, energy security, and greenhouse gas emissions, which directly related to the increase in the demand for taking some concrete and mitigation steps by making transportation and energy sectors much more effective and efficient. Petrol and diesel fuel accounts for more than 90% of India's transportation sector's energy utilization. The transportation sector is India's one of the fastest-growing as well as highly energy consuming sector with a growth rate of 6.8 %. Because of such huge demand in the transportation sector, the utilization of petroleum related product increased significantly. As a result of which 7 of the top 10 polluted cities in the whole world are belonging to country India. According to the world air quality report 2018. For instance, in Delhi, vehicle emissions have been considered as the major contributor to rising air pollution compared to all other sources including manufacturing sectors, households, thermal power plants, and the agricultural sector. In India, 2018 alone estimated death of 1.25 million people due to air pollution is about 12.5% of the total deaths. The Government of India has emphasized the target of making the country's energy sector more reliable, secure, and consistent & for achieving the above targets the government had decided to reduce the overall consumption of fossil fuel by 10% by the year 2022.

Title: Solar radiation estimates at Meerut workplace Authors: Rajput, Ashok Kumar; Goyal, Sunil Kumar; Srivastava, Gaurav; Tiwari, Rajesh Kumar Abstract: The research is concerned with the assessment and analysis of solar radiation in a workplace with longitude 77.706 (77°43' east) and latitude 28.984 (28°59' north) located in western Uttar Pradesh and the National Capital Region of India. Solar radiation energy which varies according to geographical location and weather conditions and also depends on the variation in components of solar radiation such as global and diffused components. Every year from June to September except the rainy season, the spreading components of solar radiation are more and there is a significant amount of solar energy available in this area. This work estimates the variation in solar components of complete solar radiation and the possible availability of solar radiation energy, may play an important role in reducing the electrical energy crisis in the Meerut region.

Title: Air pollution in Delhi : reasons, effects and solution Authors: Dutt, Harish Abstract: The article focuses on the impact and prevention of air pollution in the administrative and second financial capital of India, i.e. city of Delhi. The article will explain the major reasons behind the growing problem of air pollution, which we need to pay attention. The article also mentions the increasing serious health issues and other effects due to toxic air pollution in Delhi. In conclusion, the article will also introduce appropriate effective remedies for the redress of this problem, to which attention has now become extremely important not only to Delhi but to the entire nation of India.
